In Ubisoft's latest iteration of Splinter Cell, Sam Fisher has the look of a determined man. The shaved head, bright eyes outlined with heavy lids, chiseled unshaven face, and stoic look deliver a tough, detached appearance that comes with the territory. Not everyone can be happy. That's what happens when you lose your family and take on a job that may not acknowledge your existence if one small thing is out of place.
In the upcoming Xbox 360 version of Splinter Cell: Double Agent, Ubisoft's Shanghai Studio is taking the rough-and-tumble stealth marine into unchartered territory by giving you unprecedented choices, branching storylines, and consequences to those actions. But if you know anything about Double Agent, you already know this. IGN recently visited Ubisoft's San Francisco office to revisit the E3 demo and get a second hands-on preview of the game. Along with such an opportunity, they captured numerous new screenshots and two exclusive movies along with this progress report to show you what the game is like.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.

In an interview, SEGA Sound Team lead composer Tomoya Ohtani revealed that Sonic’s global music success didn’t come from chasing trends overseas.
I think this is how Japanese devs need to think. Catering to the west is a terrible idea. I personally, seek out Japanese developed games because they bring a unique experience to gaming. They just stand out more that way.
What do you mean when you say this is how they 'need to think'. I understand the idea of wanting to do them without worrying about Western sensibilities but I also think a Japanese dev can do whatever the hell they want. They don't have to 'think' the way some westerner in a forum says they have to think. You think you are giving someone a compliment but you are really being weird. Its not about who you are but what you do. Last year's GOTY was a western studio that made a JRPG. You didn't see any Japanese people claim that a studio in a Western company had to think a certain way. And yes, I do understand thats not what you were saying but I think we should always challenge our own viewpoints. Personally I have love the unique experiences that devs in Japan bring and I agree they don't need to cater to Western sensibilities. I only take issue with you saying how they need to think. Thats dangerous.
What he’s referring to is when a company like Atlus does a game and one of the characters per se ; call one of the other kids a retard , they shouldn’t have to censor the final product because of snowflakes all the way in America that are constantly ranting on twitter . None of these folks are real fans and only look for stuff to cry about . If you start pandering too much they end up taking more than a leg and an arm . Japanese humour is so funny but I hate when it’s censored because of “ western sensibilities “
Everyone understood the meaning behind the message but you. “I think” you need to go to the mirror, look yourself in the eyes call yourself an idiot sandwich.
The sonic music is iconic the mega drive games were some of the best on the system but i wouldn't say they were free of western influence especially since 3 was composed in part by Michael Jackson
But honestly most of the crush 40 soundtrack music lives in my head rent free
Uhhh that's a strange thing for him to say. Even in the interview he admits to listening to a lot of western music.
I think its strange that the topic of Western catering comes up with Sonic at all. Sometimes things just are what they are.
last year i bought 6800GT just to play CT this year I will buy the 360 just to play BA.
the is truely a game that push the sales of hardware.
This game might just be the best in the series. The screens look great this is really shaping up to be a great looking game. With Prey coming out in July I think it might hold me over until this but the 360 is looking like an amazing machine more and more everyday!!
God this game looks so cool, chaos theory was unbelievable to me, it was the last game I ever bought for my Xbox, and the first I bought in almost a year before that, so this definetly makes the 360 a little more sweet for me, considering the game choice is a million times better this time around. This game should be excellent, whens the release?
top two are new:
