  • Namco Bandai Obtains NA Publishing Rights to Dragon Ball


    Forgive us, but we haven't kept up with all our youth trends -- do kids still care about Dragon Ball? Has it become pass? Did the disastrous live-action movie kill the license forever? We're guessing the answer to that last one is no, considering how hard a fight there's been over the North American publishing rights to games based on the anime series. Now, Gamasutra reports that emerging victoriously from the kerfuffle is Namco Bandai, who has acquired the exclusive rights following a contract dispute between Atari and license-owner Funimation.

    While Atari had been the original owner to the lucrative rights to publish games based on the series, those rights were challenged when Funimation entered a legal dispute with the publisher after alleging they committed certain "breaches of the license agreement" (although exactly what those breaches entailed was never revealed). But this opened the door to challengers wanting a piece of that sweet, sweet Dragon Ball pie, and Namco Bandai stepped in.

    Namco Bandai's contract won't officially begin until 2010, but it appears they'll publish three Dragon Ball games this year that were in limbo during the contract dispute with Atari: Dragon Ball: Raging Blast (Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3), Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo (Wii), and Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans (Nintendo DS).

  • Sony Patents Motion Tech Using Everyday Items as Controllers


    Considering Sony only just revealed their new motion control wand at E3 last month, we're not quite sure what to make of this: Siliconera reports (via Joystiq) that Sony has patented new motion control technology that will apparently allow gamers to use any real-world object as a controller.

    According to the description of this technology, it'll use the PlayStation Eye camera to read any object a player holds up to it, which will then be used to control actions in a game. One example described is the use of a U-shaped block. Although it's just a standard block, the camera can read its position, allowing the player to affect the game world depending on how the block is held. So for example, if the block is held with the U-shape pointing upward, a character in a game will turn on a lightsaber-like sword. Hold the block downward, and the laser-sword turns off.

    While the u-shape block is one example given, the system can apparently use any real-world object in similar ways. It can also save these objects to profiles in order to use them later on.

  • Left 4 Dead 1 DLC Announcement 'Coming Shortly'


    In what appears to be a very concerted effort to reassure fans that the announcement of Left 4 Dead 2 doesn't mean the abandonment of Left 4 Dead 1, Valve has announced that details on forthcoming downloadable content for the original title will be released soon.

    "More info will be coming shortly on the [Left 4 Dead 1] DLC," said Valve's Chet Faliszek to Shacknews. Faliszek further confirmed this DLC will arrive in addition to other forthcoming updates for Left 4 Dead, including a promised update to team-based matchmaking.

    This announcement also comes in the wake of surprisingly harsh reaction to the announcement of Left 4 Dead 2 at E3 last month. Set for release only a year after the original (which is well outside Valve's modus operandi), it compelled many fans to go as far as pledge to boycott the new game out of concern that it will mean Valve's abandonment of the original title.

  • Fez Coming to XBLA in Early 2010

    Fez 'GDC 2009' trailer
    We saw a pretty strong hint of it back in March, but now developer Polytron has confirmed it: their perspective-shifting puzzle-platforming game Fez will be released over Xbox Live Arcade in "early 2010," according to a post on their website.

    Although it was made with Microsoft's XNA development framework, Polytron has until now remained quiet on what platforms Fez would be released. The announcement post only mentions Xbox Live Arcade, but it's unclear whether this rules out a PC release as well.

    For those unfamiliar, Fez is an independently developed game that combines the 2D/3D switching of Super Paper Mario with the perspective puzzle-solving of Crush and Echochrome. You can check out the video above to get a better idea of how this intriguing game plays.

  • Alpha Protocol Gets Official Release Date

    The News: Sega has announced an official release date for espionage-based RPG Alpha Protocol. The game is set to hit shelves on October 6, which as previously reported puts it right in the middle of the holiday season. Sega has also added a descriptive subtitle: "The Espionage RPG."

    Our Take: Alpha Protocol has us intrigued, but the title of the game doesn't seem very distinctive, and new RPGs can have a hard time catching audiences in the holiday rush. We're hoping Alpha Protocol doesn't find itself lost in the crowd. Check out our latest preview for more details on the game.
