Cliffy B made some comments at the Gears of War movie panel at Comic-Con that might interest you. The man has put it in no uncertain terms that “I know people have ideas where they want to see some wrestler, some huge buff guy” we agree. But he added also instead of a wrestler “The thing we care most about is charisma, someone you’d want to watch for two hours.”
From our side we would love to see The Rock in the Gears movie. He could make anything work and thinking wrestlers don’t have charisma is a deadly idea, after all they all have work persona’s to work with and The Rock is a genuine action hero. As a fan of the Doom movie (yes, it’s true) I thought The Rock was the best thing in it and im a fan of almost all his movies. Steve Austin though I don’t think would fit.
If Cliffy is looking for plain actors to play the heroes in Gears who would you want? If it has to be a non-wrestler why not Thomas Jane or John Travolta?
It’s one of the worst kept secrets in gaming after a few months ago a casting sheet came around. Portal: Still Alive has now been announced by Microsoft in their E3 press statements as coming to the 360 Arcade later this year. This seems to be somewhat accelerated against the prior statements made by Valve that they would not release any time soon more Portal as it would allow for greater anticipation from gamers as they count the days to the sequel.
Still Alive will hold the original game plus some more advanced challenges. Thats as much as we know for now. Without presenting a spoiler the name of the extended version can be greatly explinaed in The Orange Box soundtrack, of which the original version Portal is a part of. What this means for you? Giving more money to Valve for a great game. Let’s face it, that’s not unexpected.
In what can only be described as a Valve-esque remark Ensemble Studios’ Graham Somers has commented about the current development progress on Halo Wars. The first RTS in the Halo franchise.
With the release of the PS3 in all territories and the Wii to be released in it’s final

With the decline in PC gaming players and the rise in console only titles the questions comes up, will PC gaming suffer due to the release of the console only (for now) multiplayer GTA4?

With HD-DVD loosing the format war against its Sony backed Blu-ray competitor the net has been filled with stories about how Microsoft is planning to release a Blu-ray add-on player for the 360 to replace the failed HD add-on.
Microsoft product manager Aaron Greenberg has told Reuters “Xbox is not currently in talks with Sony or the Blu-ray Association to integrate Blu-ray into the Xbox experience”. Hopefully this should put an end to all those stories for at least a week before they come around again.
