Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has released the official web site for the video game based on the film Where The Wild Things Are. The game is based on the books of the same name featuring a boy and his scary looking monsters who aren’t all that scary. As a little kid they scared the hell out of me. Those books were just creeptastic!
Inspired by the Warner Bros. theatrical release based on the best-selling children’s book by Maurice Sendak, Where the Wild Things Are: The Videogame lets players take on the role of Max as he journeys across the land of the Wild Things, which is on the brink of destruction. Max joins forces with the Wilds Things to find a way to escape to safety before it’s too late. Where the Wild Things Are: The Videogame launches on Oct. 13 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and Nintendo DS.
NCsoft and ArenaNet debuted the very first Guild Wars 2 teaser trailer at GamesCom this week in Cologne, Germany. Show attendees got a mere glimpse of what ArenaNet has in store for players, though a large portion of it was cinematic and not the in-game action we’d have preferred to see. What the teaser trailer does reveal are some of the world-shaking events that set up the story of Guild Wars 2 and the game’s pretty graphics and environments.
Building on the success and lessons learned from Guild Wars, ArenaNet is creating an MMO that gives Guild Wars fans the gameplay mechanics they want, while retaining the no-subscription-fee business model that has made the original so popular.
You can check out that brand new trailer in high definition at www.guildwars2.com.

SEGA of America today revealed more details about Aliens vs. Predator (working title). Developed at Rebellion by the team responsible for the original 1999 PC classic, the all-new Aliens vs. Predator allows players to take the role of all three groups: Colonial Marines, Predators and Aliens. The game will feature a unique three-way online multiplayer experience, allowing players to battle for survival and the right to be crowned the deadliest species in the galaxy. Each race will also have its own distinct single-player campaign mode, with a storyline that interweaves with the other two species’ paths.
Set on planet BG-386; a human colonist mining group discovers an ancient pyramid containing a dark and horrible secret. Across the galaxy, a race of warriors is alerted to the discovery of their pyramid and a hunting party is dispatched to ensure that it remains sealed at all costs. Deep inside the ruined pyramid nature’s deadliest species awakes from centuries of hibernation intent on finding new prey.
The Colonial Marine’s story is an incredible fight against all odds from horrors lurking in the dark. Surrounded on all sides yet armed to the teeth, the Colonial Marine represents humanity’s last stand with the firepower to fight back. As the Alien, players will discover what it’s like to be the scariest, most murderous creature in the universe, with the ability to traverse any surface at lightning speed in order to get close enough to unleash its deadly claws, tail and teeth. A master of the hunt, the Predator grants the player an arsenal of exotic weaponry with which to stalk from the shadows. Earn the greatest honor by ambushing prey up-close, before butchering them for a gory trophy kill.
Aliens vs. Predator is set to be released on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in early 2010.
While I would probably put Rich Carlson, Ikka Keranen and the Phosphorous over at Digital Eel in the friend column, I often wonder about their collective sanity. Case and point: a new trailer created featuring some new and mysterious art from artist Phosphorous. You can judge for yourselves by checking out the movie below and attempt to figure out what’s going on, but there’s no doubt this is the beginning of something magical.
Will it be some bizarre undersea game called “Subsurface Defenders of Oceans in Peril” or “Danger Fish?” Maybe. Anyway check out the video below, and check out the Digital Eel web site to keep tags on these guys.
