JVC anunció hace cosa de una hora un nuevo modelo de televisor HD. Aunque no han facilitado ninguna imagen, sí que tenemos la mayoría de sus especificaciones donde sin duda destaca una por encima de todas las demás: una unidad Blu-ray integrada.The nice folks at Valve have just informed us that THQ's open-world gangbanger simulation Saint's Row II is now available to download and play on your PC via Steam.
Yes, along with your local PC game dealer, Saint's Row 2 is now available for download on the Steam Service for the low price of $39.99, which is of course $20 less console gamers had to pay, but hey...your rig cost more, didn't it? Especially if you beefed it up to meet the recommended system requirements.
I'm actually pondering picking up the PC version. I bought a copy for the Xbox 360 on release day, but my underage nephew who probably shouldn't have been playing it ended up leaving my apartment with it before I got a chance to play. Jerk.

Tal como confirman en Gamasutra, la ancestral revista estadounidense sobre videojuegos EGM (Electronic Gaming Magazine) ha dicho adiós muy buenas tras casi 20 años, y se ha tirado al insondable pozo de las revistas de papel maltrechas. Y es que es evidente que las publicaciones de papel, y más en este sector, están condenadas a desaparecer.
Tras un proceso de comprensión, esta mañana hemos cerrado el trato con Hearst Interactive, los propietarios de UGO Entertainment. 1UP.com, MyCheats.com, Gamevideos.com y Gametab.com pasarán ahora a formar parte del grupo UGO Entertainment. Muchos de nuestro empleados se trasladarán para unirse a la plantilla de UGO.
Con esta transacción en curso, también hemos tomado la decidisión de interrumpir la publicación de EGM. Enero de 2009 será el último número de la publicación.
Though most likely perturbed by having their fun ruined by the ESRB last month, Ubisoft has gone ahead and made Grey's Anatomy for the Nintendo Wii, DS, and PC official.
The Grey's Anatomy games sounds like a cross between Trauma Surgeon and a an adventure game, with players taking on the roles of their favorite characters as they live, love, and do whatever it is they do on the show. Ubisoft VP of worldwide licensing Christian Salomon seems to know.
"In Grey’s Anatomy: The Video Game, fans will have a chance to take on the roles of all of their favorite doctors in an all-new original storyline. As each doctor, players will make important personal and professional decisions, explore the direct relationships with each other, and perform the delicate surgeries the series is known for, all through fun and engaging game play."
I'd make a snarky comment here, but my mother has actually really enjoyed Ubisoft's CSI games, and will probably enjoy the hell out of this one to, the nutter.

About Grey’s Anatomy
The doctors of Seattle Grace Hospital deal with life-or-death consequences on a daily basis – it’s in one another that they find comfort, friendship and, at times, more than friendship. Together they’re discovering that neither medicine nor relationships can be defined in black and white. Real life only comes in shades of grey.
The hit series "Grey’s Anatomy" stars Ellen Pompeo as Meredith Grey, Patrick Dempsey as Derek Shepherd, Sandra Oh as Cristina Yang, Katherine Heigl as Isabel "Izzie" Stevens, Justin Chambers as Alex Karev, T.R. Knight as George O’Malley, Chandra Wilson as Miranda Bailey, James Pickens, Jr. as Richard Webber, Sara Ramirez as Callie Torres, Eric Dane as Mark Sloan, Chyler Leigh as Lexie Grey and Brooke Smith as Erica Hahn.
"Grey’s Anatomy" was created and is executive produced by Shonda Rhimes ("Introducing Dorothy Dandridge"). Betsy Beers ("Casanova"), Mark Gordon ("Saving Private Ryan"), Krista Vernoff ("Law & Order"), Rob Corn ("Chicago Hope"), Mark Wilding ("Jake: 2.0") and Allan Heinberg ("The O.C.") are executive producers. "Grey’s Anatomy" is an ABC Studios production.
Ubisoft ha anunciado hoy la firma de un acuerdo con ABC Studios para desarrollar un videojuego basado en Anatomía de Grey, serie que nunca he visto, al contrario que mi madre. Christian Salomon, Vicepresidente de Licencias de Ubisoft, ha dicho que la compañía «está encantado de colaborar con ABC Studios para convertir este fenómeno televisivo en una increíble experiencia interactiva».
«En Anatomía de Grey: El videojuego», continúa Salomon, «los seguidores tendrán la oportunidad de interpretar el papel de todos sus médicos favoritos en todas y cada una de las nuevas y originales historias. Como cada uno de ellos, los jugadores tendrán que tomar decisiones importantes tanto personales como profesionales, explorar la relación que tienen con cada uno de los personajes y actuar en las delicadas intervenciones a las que la serie nos tiene tan acostumbrados, y todo ello siempre de una forma divertida y que enganchará a los jugadores».

WTF.
Las plataformas llamadas a acoger tan magna obra del ocio digital son Wii, Nintendo DS y PC, y se espera que salga «a principios de 2009», según dice la nota de prensa. Tras el salto, un par de imágenes del juego. Yo creo que se ve bien; otra cosa es que sea o no un truño de juego.


Creat and Tikgames are combining gamers' craving for puzzles with their deep-seated love of geometric shapes, resulting in Cuboid, a new puzzler coming soon to the PlayStation Network.
In a post over at PlayStation.Blog, Creat Studios producer Olga Sokolova discusses the new 3D puzzle game, available "soon" on the PlayStation Network for $9.99. Cuboid is a game that involves maneuvering a 3D block through a series of mazes, with various obstacles placed throughout each level in order to make things much more difficult to get from point A to point B. You'll encounter teleporters, switches, and weak tiles that crumble away as you traverse them, meaning a well-planned route is your key to victory.
The game will be released with 66 different levels, with premium packs promised to add to the challenge. Along with the puzzling fare comes the promise of lovely graphics and "soothing music", which is quickly become the hallmark of an original PSN title. Check out the link for more screens and a video of Cuboid in action.
