Is Itagaki’s career in AAA development over?

Did the devil do him in? Tomonobu Itagakigot his start at Tecmo back in 1992 working as a graphics programmer onTecmo Super Bowlfor the SNES. It was a fitting start for a man whose career would be largely defined by creating games that fuse Japanese-born passions with Western-style machismo for a global audience. His latest game,Devil’s Third, is probably the greatest example of that combination to date. It starts with a hugely muscular shirtless Caucasian man, covered in Sanskrit tattoos, performing a virtuoso rock drum solo in the basement of Guantanamo Bay....

Hell, you’re reading about them on a video game website right now, that’s usually a sign that something’s gone too far. There’s a good reason for that! We’re used to vulnerabilities being isolated tosomesoftware orsomemachines, but nothing quite this widespread....

Our first look at the undead in Red Dead Redemption

The “Undead Nightmare Pack” ($10, due out this fall) forRed Dead Redemptionis looking quite good in these first few screenshots. I’m curious how Rockstar Games plans to frame the story for this in a not-ridiculous way, considering you get a freakin’ zombie horse at some point. Maybe I’m putting too much thought into this, though — it is, presumably, another tale of an outbreak and the hunt for a cure. There’s supposed to be “new gameplay mechanics” and “mythical creatures,” so that should be interesting, especially sinceRed Deadhas been out for so long....

Podtoid 61 records tonight…really!

After some technical hiccups last week, for which I am extremely sorry, we’re back on track with this week’s Podtoid. We’ll be talking about random news and rampant E3 speculation. We’ll also be discussing some of the stuff we would have discussed last week, which probably means we’ll also be reading some questions from last week, too: if you have something you really wanted answered that you find to be still relevant this week, feel free to copypasta it....

Rodea: The Sky Soldier might be a bumpy ride

Awkward aeronautics My first flight withRodea: The Sky Soldierwasn’t a smooth one. But perhaps that’s to be expected of a title that’s seen such a turbulent development history. The project went dark shortly after its initial announcement in 2010, then underwent a change of platforms — something that seems all too apparent after a few minutes with the final product. Rodea: The Sky Soldierwas initially conceived as a Wii game, but it came too late in the day for a system nearing the end of its life cycle....
