In ourrecap yesterday, we covered just about everything Ubisoft had to offer at this week’s Ubidays event. Still, there were quite a few titles that appeared to be missing from the show. When the Prince returns, will he be angry or mellow again? Is Jade still wearing that lovely shade of lipstick? Will we be able to see freckles on a digital Kate Austen? Oh, the mysteries! Keep in mind that what follows is purely based on either rumors, leaks, or speculation....

Back in the day,Unreal— the game, not the engine — was the hotness. It was absurdly fast-paced and addictive and, sadly, hasn’t been mentioned since it’s lackluster appearance on PS3 in 2007. We’re not the only ones who’ve noticed this absence as it seems Epic studio head Mike Cappsshares that sentiment. “It’s been a long time since we shipped anUnrealgame, and it’s an awfully loved franchise that we hold pretty dear here....

Valve is looking forward to seeing what people can do with Project Natal, butLeft 4 Deadwriter Chet Faliszek has urged developers not to create another mass of crappy mini-game collections like the stinking ocean of filth that drowned the Wii. He also promised that Valve would not be developing anything like that for Natal either. “Hopefully we’ve gotten past the point of mini-games,” says Faliszek, optimistically. “I’m sick of that [makes arm movement]....

Valve plans to deliver a blow to those using external applications to earn items inTeam Fortress 2. According toa recent posting, the studio will begin stripping items earned with the help of idling applications, but in the future, Valve plans to remove every single item from the cheater’s inventory. It’s a zero tolerance policy that should send a clear message. “Over the next few days we’ll be removing allTF2items that were earned using external idling applications,” the posting reads....

WithCall of Duty XPgoing on right now, this is pretty much the ideal time for Infinity Ward to drop its big multiplayer-centric trailer forModern Warfare 3. Once again, individual loadouts for a few players are shown, which I fully expect you guys to examine and re-examine. As we’re seeing with other larger series this year, no one is going to break what already works. Multiplayer is mostly what you expect, with more enhancements and upgrades....

Every Saturday at 10:00 AM PDT, Conrad and I put on a live stream called Saturday Morning Hangover. Problem is, weekends are meant for sleeping; you guys are always telling us how you forgot to show up until right at noon when we shut things down. This is me officially reminding you to remember. Remember.Hard. We may have run into some technical difficulties last show withSuper Crate Box Versus, and some we-can’t-stop-losing difficulties withThe Dishwasher: Vampire Smile, but fun was still had....

2D Boy has submitted the iPad version ofWorld of Goofor approval by Apple, meaning it shouldn’t be much longer now before the game hits the App Store. Even if you have one or multiple versions already, I could see getting this just for the portability and the touch-based controls. Afterwarning us aboutthat dreadedsphinx gate, 2D Boy gave us this description: “You can play with 11 fingers on one screen. Which means you can play two handed, with friends, an animal, anything up to eleven fleshy things touching the screen....

This isn’t the first time WOW has spent time on aCoke Commercial, but it better be the last. Blizzard makes enough from their WOW monthly membership fees to single handedly make a global PS3 launch this Xmas possible. And what are they doing with their money?Not making the most kickass movie possible. Blizzard, I get it, you like fulfilling WOW players’ Asian fetishes, and yea,your Chinese demographic is in trouble, but you don’t need anymore money from Coca Cola!...

The upcoming PSP Yakuza game’s announcement was accompanied by hints of multiplayer support, but we have been in the dark as far as details goes. Now, thanks to Famitsu, we know some of how the multiplayer will work inBlack Panther: Yakuza New Chapter(or whatever they’re going to call it). There will be ad-hoc support for four-player battles. There’s a tag match mode that is basically two-on-two fights. A battle royal (2-4 p) is called Dogeza Battle....

Ignorant psychologist Carole Lieberman has quickly made a name for herself among gamers after claiming that games likeBulletstormcan beblamed for increasing sexual assault cases. Fortunately, she hasdecided to come forthand qualify her statements … by saying even more backwardsshite. “My FoxNews.com statements were taken out of context and made to sound more inflammatory than they were meant,” she stated. “Nonetheless, I stand behind my view that media violence, and particularly videogame violence is harmful....

So it’s bad enough that you have to worry about people betraying you inKane & Lynch 2. That worry amps up when you go into “Undercover Cop” mode. The gametype plays out just like “Fragile Alliance” with the addition of the randomly chosen undercover cop that’s infiltrated the group. The undercover has to stop everyone from escaping while acting like he’s part of the team. As the criminals are doing their thing, the cop needs to find a way to pick off the others one-by-one to earn reward money....
