Though Medal of Honor: Airborne is not even out yet, another MoH game was announced, entitled Vanguard. This game, however, will be coming for the Wii and PS2 in March 2007. Since Airborne is also supposed to be coming out for the PS2, could this mean that version is cancelled, and will be replaced by Vanguard? Or will PS2 owners have twice the MoH fun? We don’t know yet. The game’s story will be extremely original: you are a paratrooper in WWII, going around Europe killing Nazis. Sounds fun!

As it was reported a few days ago, Prince of Persia is headed to the Wii. It has been rumored that the game will be a remake/port of The Two Thrones; that has now been confirmed. The whole game, minus the controls, will be exactly the same as the game that came out last year. I feel like a parrot saying this but: congratulations being creative Ubisoft…

Dragon Quest IX trailer

December 17, 2006

A trailer for the ninth Dragon Quest game has surfaced. Looks great, too bad the trailer is in Japanese though.

Though Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones has only come out on past generation consoles a year ago (read the review [url=http://www.snackbar-games.com/r254.html]here[/url], Ubisoft is at works to remake/port the game once again. Though no other news has been revealed about the game, developers state that the Wiimote will be used as much as possible. It’s also not for certain if it will be a remake, or just a port.

This is the second remake/port of the third episode of the Sands of Time trilogy. Much like Prince of Persia: Revelations for the PSP (a port/remake of Warrior Within), Rival Swords will come out on the PSP, with a few changes to the big console versions.

Remaking and porting a game, a year after it’s release? Good job with being creative Ubisoft.

The developers of the Alien games, to be published by SEGA, have been revealed. Obsidian, the developer behind Knights Of The Old Republic II and Neverwinter Nights 2, has been put in charge of making the RPG. Gearbox, the folks behind Half Life: Opposing Force and Blue Shift, as well as the entire Brothers in Arms series, are going to be bringing us the Alien FPS. No official statement about the games release dates, but a rumored 2008 release seems plausible.
