Supremacy MMA Features Serious Pulverizing

505 Games has decided to enter itself into the MMA fold, similarly to how they entered the football fold (more like field, ehh?) this past summer with Backbreaker, though this time their game is called Supremacy MMA. Supremacy MMA was announced last E3, though I’ll admit I had no idea what it was until just now. 505 Games has declared Supremacy will launch this summer, and will feature Jens Pulver (5 bucks to anyone who knows who that is), who’s “up and down” backstory will be ever present in the game.

Sony Takes Action Against Hackers

Sony has finally responded to the reports of the PS3 being hacked, and it’s not pretty.

Electronic Arts to Publish The Secret World

Ragner Tonrquist is highly revered among fans of adventure games.  He was the designer behind The Longest Journey; widely regarded as the finest example of the point ‘n’ click adventure genre. Tornquist went on to write for that game’s sequel, Dreamfall; and his next game is the MMO The Secret world, which will be published by Electronic arts.  The news about the publisher was just announced, but the existence of The Secret World has been known for close to four years.

Publisher and Release Schedule Set For Gray Matter

The long-delayed adventure game Gray Matter finally has a North American publisher, Viva Media.  Although the game has already been released in Europe, until now the possibility of it coming to America was uncertain.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior Sequel Takes Aim At CryEngine 3

City Interactive, developer of last year’s surprisingly successful Sniper: Ghost Warrior for 360 and PC, and its subsequent PS3 port, have announced that a sequel is in the works. Producer Michal Sroczynski revealed the game for the first time during an interview with Eurogamer.se, but he remained tight-lipped about the project. The only tidbit that was released was the game’s new engine: Crytek’s super-powerful CryEngine 3 will be used to craft the game for a simultaneous release on PS3, 360, and PC.
