Max Schaefer, CEO of Runic games, the developers behind PC Action RPG Torchlight, said that the game may be headed to consoles and that a “serious effort” is being put into the idea.
“We’re going to put some serious effort into it — pretty quick — getting ‘Torchlight’ onto consoles,” Schaefer said.
“There’s a lot of really cool things about the console world, too, that would work well with our game.”
For fans of Diablo and Diablo-type games, Torchlight is an excellent addition to the genre, especially since Diablo III won’t be seen on PC for at least another hundred years or so.
In what most people would believe is a sign of the Apocalypse, Lady Gaga is not only dominating mainstream media, but now making her way into video games. First it was LIPS, and now she’ll be appearing in a four-song DLC pack for Rock Band and Rock Band 2 on March 16th.
Not only that, we also have The Subways, Mute Math, 3 Doors Down, and the notorious Eric Cartman with his own version of “Poker Face” as seen on South Park.

You might remember this trailer for Deus Ex 3, which didn’t really tell us much of anything about the game. In fact, there’s no gameplay in the video. There’s really nothing in the video at all, except for some abstract… Stuff.
Well, we’ve got a new trailer for you, which shows off a little more than “stuff”.
Unfortunately, we don’t get to see any combat in this trailer, either. But we do get to see what appears to be the main character having some sort of trippy, angelic dream where he flies into the sun and burns.
It’s unclear whether or not you’ll be playing as JC Denton or another clone of him like the previous titles, but the likeness is uncanny, so I feel it’s a safe bet that you play as another clone again.
We’ve got some screenshots and the new trailer after the jump.
With Sony’s many, many announcements covering the Playstation Move, we’re seeing more new titles being announced. One of the most recent announcements to come out of the GDC is a title called Slider.
We don’t know much about this title yet, other than the fact that it allows one to recreate my favorite fantasy: downhill office chair racing. We’ve got the few details we know after the jump. read this entry »
Well, here it is, folks. The next single-band installment from Harmonix, Green Day: Rock Band, has been announced for a worldwide release of June 8th, 2010 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii consoles.

Got scared, didn’t you? Don’t worry, Sony announced during their GDC conference that Gran Turismo 5 will indeed release this year.
Unfortunately, a specific release date was not announced. On the bright side, it’s releasing this year. High-five? Anyone?
You could always play Forza 3.
Nah, you’re right, waiting’s better.
Fans of Lara Croft won’t have to wait long before being able to go on yet another adventure with the sultry archeologist.
GDC is well under way and Joystiq met up with developer Crystal Dynamics in order to discuss the upcoming title. The game will launch this summer as a download only, being released for PC, 360 and PS3. The full price of the game will be $15.
As confirmed last week, the game will be a top-down isometric, arcade-style co-op game, vastly deviating from the Tomb Raider series regular third person action perspective. Players will take control of Lara Croft and a Mayan spearman named Totec. Together the two will solve puzzles, destroy enemies, platform and, presumably, raid tombs.
Capcom has just announced the final character in the Super Street Fighter IV line-up, a new character by the name of Hakan.
Lets just say he’s… different, and leave it at that.
The video is under the cut, if you’re willing to take the dive.
Square Enix has just announced that Final Fantasy XIII has shipped over 5 million units worldwide, with at least 3 million of those accounting for US and Europe figures, as reported by Andriasang,
The game has shipped at least 2 million units in Japan since its launch back in December, and by all accounts it looks like it’s going to easily eclipse that success here in the west.
This figure brings sales of the franchise as a whole to a whopping 96 million units in 20 years. Not too shabby.
GameSpot has released the first developer diary for the mysterious PS3 motion controller. The video shows Richard Marks and Anton Mikhailov of SCEA testing a couple of prototype demos, as well as showcasing some already released footage from E3.

The PS3 motion controller itself is due for release near the end of the year.
EA Sports is expected to show more details on this at GDC later today.
