Does Avatar buck the trend of less-than-thrilling movie tie-in videogames?
Has Atari gone Chaotic Evil over D&D publishing rights?
Posted on : 22-12-2009 | By : Admin | In : Video Games
Up until recently, Atari has been having a tough go of things. Between devastating financial losses and corporate restructuring, it was a bit of a wonder to see the company handle 2009 as well as it did, publishing some great games like The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena, Ghostbusters, and Champions Online. It looks like Atari may have jumped out of the pot and into a seething cauldron, however, as it is facing a couple of substantial lawsuits related to how it recently handled the Dungeons & Dragons license it holds, and how it treated some of the associated parties.

Updating an icon: behind the scenes with Planet M.U.L.E.
Posted on : 20-12-2009 | By : Admin | In : Video Games
In 1983, Electronic Arts released a game called M.U.L.E, a strategy game with a heavy focus on supply-and-demand economics. It was playable by up to four players on a single machine, and today it’s widely regarded as one of the most influential games of all time. Fast-forward 26 years, and in December 2009 a free-to-play version of the same game was released and dubbed Planet M.U.L.E. Developed by independent studio Turborilla, and produced by Blue Systems, Planet M.U.L.E. is essentially a straight port of the original game, albeit with a few upgrades. Ars spoke with the owner of Blue Systems, who wished to remain under cover of anonymity, about the project and how it came about.
