Knights of the Old Republic sequel in the works

Wondering what that BioWare/Lucasarts project was going to be? Oh, come on. Like you couldn't guess. During EA's analyst report earlier today, it was revealed that in addition to working on more Mass Effect, Dragon Age and a "New MMO", BioWare are also handling a new Knights of the Old Republic title. Which means it's not their upcoming MMO. So, a new, straight-up RPG, then? Probably. Your excitement glands can't repel joy of this magnitude.

Genuine Fact Files: Suspicious Cargo

Cloverfield is awsome!

For those who haven't been to the cinema and watched Cloverfield yet, I recommend you to do so. An co-worker (who hadn't seen it) jokingly described it as "Blair Witch Project meets Godzilla", which is suprisingly close to the truth.

This movie is really unique, and is entirely seen from the perspective of a handheld camera. It is a real thrill to watch, closest compared to as going to the amusement park.

Duke Nukem Forever coming out 2008 or not?

"However, Miller was adamant about the once-uncertain Xbox Live Arcade release of Duke Nukem 3D, noting that the company is attempting to release it on the Xbox 360's digital distribution platform this year."
3D Realms Disputes 'Confirmed' Reports
Duke Nukem Forever Teaser released!

Update:
"I'd like to address the article the Dallas Business Journal put up today.

In what appears to be an unfortunate turn of events, there seems to have been some confusion between what was 'off the record' and what was not. I suppose we're used to dealing with gaming press and not mainstream press. Lesson learned.

While we have internal targets, dates and goals, like every developer, we are not ready to share them. What's amazing about this is that the DBJ must have assumed that we'd actually announce a date to them, and not gaming press, and that even in the light of Scott's quote of "We can't make an official announcement.", the DBJ effectively did that. Lesson learned.

The release date is still 'when it's done', and will be until the appropriate moment. Platforms have not been finalized or announced. You can rest assured that we are moving toward a goal and that the recently released teaser trailer is the start of that process and seeing more of the game, sooner than later.

We apologize to gamers and websites everywhere for this series of events. Sometimes, you can be too trusting of people and assume things that come back to bite you. Lesson learned."
