Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath remake coming to PSN
in 2011

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath remake coming to PSN in 2011 screenshot

Next year, developer Just Add Water will be bringing an updated port of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath to the PlayStation Network.

The quirky first- and third-person shooter was originally released in 2005, and had players taking the role of the bounty hunter known as the Stranger. The game had a quirky feel that you'd expect from an Oddworld game, with players using "live" ammo (read: animals and bugs) to take out enemies.

The updated version of the game will boast updated visuals at 720p, along with updated graphical bells and whistles that you'd expect from a current-gen game. The title's dialogue is also being remastered, and Just Add Water is shoving PlayStation Move support into the thing for good measure.

The Stranger's Wrath remake is slated for an Easter release, with even more "bonus material still to be revealed."

An evening with the gods of God of War

An evening with the gods of God of War screenshot

Cory Barlog is officially one of my favorite videogame personalities. David Jaffe was already up there, along with Mark Rein, and a few others. To me, these people are known for their brutal honesty and undeniable personality. Working in this industry and meeting such people is the best part of it, even better than playing games a day earlier than everyone else.

Of course, I didn't know that's how I'd feel until after Barlog and Jaffe spent four and a half hours pointing out sexual references, and telling funny stories about their time developing the God of War games. But it wasn't just these two -- the whole of God of War game directors met, for an off-kilter round table discussion slated for your home theater this holiday season.

Hosted by G4s Allison Haislip, David Jaffe, Cory Barlog, Stig Asmussen, Ru Weerasuriya, and Dana Jan -- the game directors of God of War, God of War 2, GoW3, GoW: Chains of Olympus, and the upcoming GoW: Ghost of Sparta, respectively -- talked about everything from their inspiration to create their games to who would make the best Kratos in a supposed God of War movie. (They didn't agree, but my vote goes to either Old Spice Mascot.)

Jaffe, known for his outspoken personality, unintentionally stole the show, but his comrades asked for it. For the first hour, every question posed by Haislip was met with a turn of the head and a quiet stare in Jaffe's direction. It wasn't until Jaffe got fed up with answering everything that the rest of the team, besides Barlog inputting every witty quip he could, really opened up.

Quite a bit about the God of War franchise came out that night. How Kratos was originally envisioned (Martin Riggs plus Russell Crowe); why his skin was so pale (the unfinished original artwork for Kratos, uncolored with nothing but primer, looked perfect according to Jaffe; what God of War was originally pitched as (Clash of the Titans directed by Ridley Scott); and why Kratos is so likable ("While destroying everything around him, [Kratos is] inadvertently better," said Barlog. And he's the ultimate badass)

But perhaps the most interesting bit, which so many people are curious about, is why every game had a different game director. Each had their reasons for stepping aside, but it also gave each new title a fresh start. As Asmussen pointed out, "the first time [directing] is the hungriest." Both Jaffe and Barlog left to pursue personal ventures, while Weerakjniya gave up his directorial role to run the business side of Ready At Dawn Studios.

Barlog was an absolute treat. Some of his memorable comments include "I build a big level because I can build a big level! Aren't I awesome?!" and "Athena: 'I'm gonna take your visions away', then later, 'nobody can do that sucka!'" And when Jan was asked how he kept enemies fresh, he told a story of Jaffe's Napkin O' Monsters, a restaurant napkin with every character in the God of War series. According to Barlog, "Jaffe draws like a three year old." Yes, that's how the night progressed.

Also discussed was the ludicrousness of the series. "Death doesn't really mean anything," Jaffe pointed out, as everyone dies yet Kratos himself died twice and escaped Hades. One comical debate compared Kratos to Bruce Wayne. Both fight for revenge and vengance over the anguish of their lost families, but Jaffe couldn't wrap his head around how Kratos remained so angry.

"Peter Parker lost uncle ben, and he's still cheery," Jaffe joked. "Get over it."

On their inspirations, the entire team agreed when Jaffe said "go play games you haven't heard of," pointing games to Ico and Onimushu. "That's the hallmark of God of War," Barlog said jokingly. "We take unknown games and completely rip them off."

Other unknown tidbits about the series?

The main selling point was always the brutality and violence, because Jaffe knew it would sell.
Jaffe's vision of Kratos is as a man who puts work before everything else, and pays with his family for it.
Most everything in the game, from the environments to characters, are highly romanticized and not historically accurate, because otherwise it would have looked like crap.
The idea for huge environments and enemies was to evoke a sense of wonder (which clearly worked wonders).
The supposed God of War movie has been in and out of production for years, and Daniel Craig turned down the role of Kratos a year ago. (Probably to keep his hair.) One unnamed actor did sign on, and all Jaffe would reveal is that he played in a recently released sequel (the third part of a trilogy) that flopped.

The directors left the audience with an important lesson to learn from Kratos.

"Take what you want, and damn the consequences," Barlog said. "If you want it, take it. And if you love it, people will follow you."

Spider-Man: Total Mayhem Review (iPhone)

Gamezebo Rating:

No matter where he goes, Spider-Man just can?t seem to catch a break. Whether it?s roving street thugs, half-infected symbiotes, or a monstrous man in a rhino costume, it seems that Peter Parker?s day is always going from bad to worse. Spider-Man Total Mayhem, on the other hand, quickly goes from good to better, offering up a great combination of button-mashing combat and challenging boss fights that?s bound to please.
