Here is the first part of an audio interview done for a French blog written by Eska. It was suppose to be a video but for time editing reasons, It was transformed into just an Audio, with is probably for the best :P. Well, It was fun to do, don't know if it's completely interesting but for the French listeners, you can find it here! It is the 1st part out of two of three, and this one is about

I wanted to post more often recently, but I guess I did not :)...So many big things happened, Thx giving's time, Xmas's time... I probably will forgot lots of things but I'll try to sum-up and keep it interesting.So, my big gift of the year is a fantastic Sony Bravia.

while looking for a level to show to someone from Tork: prehistoric punk, I realise neither Youtube, Dailymotion (is anyone going there anyway ?) and Vimeo had lots of contents of the game, neither had some good quality trailers or videos.I decided to upload this one, to start with... still looking pretty good for game of previous generation. and reminding me lots of good memories.I wish one day

I recently moved to a new place few miles from the old place I spent almost 4 years in. A really cool new apartment closer to work and nature, so guess what, recently I had less time to play :).

THE big news of the week, (couldn't’t wait next week end to post it)... Netflix is coming to Ps3 (Here).While Microsot is announcing some increase profit in the game or entertainment section today, I wondered how much people are like me, owning both consoles, and will definitely switch from Xbox live gold membership (you’re paying for) to watch Netflix, to the free Ps3 online services...360 to me

Ready at dawn just announced that we will provide and licensing our engine to other companies soon. It's an interesting thing the company is "starting", and it's a blast to think our tools will be soon shared and tested by some other users, because it will make us progress a lot by trying to improve them with different feedback and needs, as much as I'm sure it will be a blast to use and discover

Two weeks ago already, I had the pleasure to get a PS3 slim!Almost four year after the Xbox 2, three after the Wii, Sony is providing a replacment for it's ps2: a finished product at the right price, with available good games and AAA titles to come (My hopes goes to "The last guardian", "Uncharted 2" and "God of war 3").And Yes! Their was a Beta product that around 10 millions of people bought at

2009-06-08T19:55:00.000-07:00

E3 was... great!The best one I’ve been too, one day there, and lot of fun, not too crowded or noisy, awesome games, beautiful girls around (never bad), and some friends and ex-co workers met randomly too.I will of course not make a huge article about all this, I have nothing really new to tell here that you would have read somewhere else, so let's cut to the only personal point I can bring, which

HOME is an ode to the planet's beauty and its delicate harmony. Through the landscapes of 54 countries captured from above, Yann Arthus-Bertrand takes us on an unique journey all around the planet, to contemplate it and to understand it. But HOME is more than a documentary with a message, it is a magnificent movie in its own right. Every breathtaking shot shows the Earth - our Earth - as we have

I'm sorry for the lack of news, but I don't have much to tell, and I started less an less to feel the needs to share my opinion with "everyone"... :).Blogs are soooo last centuries :P... don't you think ?If neither Tweeter or Myspace interested me, Facebook stole too my Internet time quit a bit, being a way easier tool to share things with friends than writing a all paragraph on blogger, or

Last week end was the DSI launch for Nintendo and i waited Monday to see and touch one for the first time from a Nintendo fan at the office :)... And I must say, the new design is pretty slick and the material used give a nice high quality feeling, pretty close to what the GBA Sp felt if my memory is right.I don't have the need to buy one! my plasticy white Dslite will be enought right now,

It was unfortunately expected, despite the good sales of last year, It's layoff time almost everywhere, and the video game industry is like others, striked hardly, with lot of guys now facing unemployment.... it sucks, I have the chance to have a Job today, And I still think every day how lucky i am and how it could be something different tomorrow, and how it is probably difficult for thoses

Nintendo, new impressive leader of home and handle console that nobody was expecting to be alive four years ago, is sure to be the leader in Japan, with the two best selling titles to come, Dragon Quest and Monster Hunters. When you see how much this one is selling on PSP, it's of course a fantastic opportunity for Capcom and Nintendo to both sell their new products. And even if MH sold like

Hi everyoneWell, to start with, I would like to wish you a very happy new year. It seems that the time to come might be stressful for lots of us, so I hope things will go for the best, specially when it comes to Health and love, the most important things when it come to go through other hard events.I will start this year by a list of the games i played and not played, liked and didn't like in 08,

Alright, I'm back after few weeks without news, during the big month of november where all big games are coming out. To resume, I didn't play that much. I tried on PC and 360 Left 4 Dead: a really cool demo with once again a really good and polish pc game from Valve. But somehow, The game didn't catch me that much, and Gears of War 2 and it's “Horde mode” took the place of the multiplayer game I

So, the question I wondered about this week was: "Is ps3 will be the " Concorde " of this era ?Will it be the victim of the crisis and recession, with an economic agenda just not adapted for the particular scheme it seems we're going to face.My point is not to say that PS3 is not going to sell, but simply that it will never have the success and path predicted because of the crisis and the big

It's been so long since I haven't practice this that its like being a young padawan again, which I am anyway, I loose everything I learned from not drawing much those last 10 years. But it's definitely great to get back to it.The class is happening at our new office in our animation room and

This TGS is interesting, and way less disappointing than last year's one. The market has decided which hardware will be important next year there, and it's interesting to see games more and more amazing on DS, and using well the PSP and Wii.There was an interesting article recently on Edge about the japan market and Why it still matters.I will give you my three favorite Favorite: Klonoa (wii),

2008-10-04T19:23:00.000-07:00

Well... Nintendo did present their new DS for Japan. My guesses were wrong : it will not come to US this year but around April 2009. It's making way more sense (Sales are shrinking in Japan, not in Europe and US, and GHotour is Hudge here too and need the GBA port), and I guess it will be distributed in Europe between april and september 2009 then. This Dsi is not appealing to me that much,

2008-09-29T19:10:00.000-07:00

While the rumors about October's 2 conference seems to confirms what I was speaking about (release of Ds3 in Japan and not Europe for now), maybe the big announcement in US will be about the new storages choices and possibility on the Wii needed for this kind of game... and in this interesting point of view, John Welch, CEO and co-founder of Diner Dash house PlayFirst, is reminding how everything

So... Psp is selling very well in Japan right now, and not badly neither in US and Europe, and because of that, some big Japanese titles (from Square, Capcom and more) will follow in the year to come. Some third party dev. from the West will probably give another chance to this hardware, now more powerful and with a bigger install base.So if we get rid of the Piracy problem, there might be a

Even if I was not in the mood to see it, and did not appreciate it that much (My favorite Pixar movie still is Nemo followed by the Incredibles and Toy story 2), just go to watch this amazing movie: I don't put the trailer here because I hate trailers, they show you too much every freaking time, and ruined all or most of it unfortunately. Anyway, Wall.E is ONE of the movie of the year, and a

It's weird to be back.Taking few days off is always good, but coming back to the little world of video game's blogs and news and podcast and forums seems so... futile.Even if after reading my two weeks of unchecked emails and 1000+ Rss news, I feel that I'm a tiny tiny piece of this unnecessary big giant time looser that Internet content is, I will probably continue sometimes to post more

Chains of Olympus is Gold in Japan, we’re now officially done with PSP development...Good news before taking few days off again!I hope Japanese’s gamers are waiting for this game as much as they like Monser-Hunter there :P... what! let me dream!Anyway, Let's say goodbye to PSP devkitsIt was lot of fun to work on this console, and lot of memory are stick in my mind about those three years and half

Well, I am thinking about interesting subject to speak of (The interesting Ubisoft call for PSP direction, the bad habits in the Video game industry, Bonuses and Royalties,...) but I must say I don't really have the time to write them right now, I’ll try after my little two weeks break.Until then, some links I wanted to gives several day earlier:Wiiware world to know everything about games to

When someone smart take the time to write an interesting article like this one, you have to read it!Even if i think they are still Casual Gamers (after all, I am one of them now, even if I’m more a HCG playing casually), and Casual games, this article just explain strong and clear points on the video game market.

Last week-end, I decided to give a try and some money on the acclaim wiiware “Lost Wind”, and I must say the game is great, I am really surprised by how cool it is and how I’m captured by the all the concepts and the universe… perhaps because even with some flaws, You can tell that the game is really making sense with this type of controller. I finished the game after 3h40, and had lot of fun

As you may have already notice, this blog is full of grammar mistakes. I must say that I decided to write this blog in English to try improving myself and progress. And it's not that easy, especially because I’m a lazy French dude, and probably too, because I’m not a very good writer in my birth languages anyway. My wonderful girlfriend who is reading sometime this little blog has the courage to

Last week, while everybody was playing or speaking about THE GAME you obviously want to put in your post to attract reader on your website, I personally just jumped into the just released MarioKart Wii, few weeks after Japanese and European players already did, and Portal, because it’s never too late to discover one of THE game of last year.I’m not a hater or a rebel, and the reason I’m not

You probably heard about the Okami's end credits story everywhere. Once again, The issue of crediting in the games industry is a stupid and still huge deal, even if some standards start to appear.Well, even if it's not, in a gameplay point of view, changing the quality of the game, I must say that I'm totally disappointed that ex-Clover studio guys are not part of the credits in this wiimake of

While the two followers are still trying to shout that they have a bigger one than the other. The PC, after Epic, is loosing Crytek for sad reasons:(..)PC gamers that pirate games inherently destroy the platform. Similar games on consoles sell factors of 4-5 more," (..) "It was a big lesson for us and I believe we won’t have PC exclusives as we did with Crysis in future. We are going to support

Nintendo financial results for 2007 and Analyses of the wii market in particular....interesting, way more than "Journalists" last week trying to make a big news every time a president of a 3d graphic engine seller company is speaking about the Wii. It's almost like asking the engineer of the engine of a Ferrari what he think about the new Think (that you should definitly check btw).

Taking an already existing IP and let some other artists, authors and companies tweak and play with it, is not something yet visible a lot in Video-game. Usually, when it come to giving an IP to another company, it's often to ask to copy and stay in the already existing universe as close as possible.But when I see this kind of project, I cannot help myself thinking about how cool it must be to be

US March Software sales from NPD:GOD OF WAR: CHAINS OF OLYMPUS: 340.500Not that bad... I hope that it will not drop down too fast and become a long seller like Daxter did, and that Europe and Japan will perform as well too :).

Hehe,Funny to see that Hirokazu Hamamura is reading my blog... or simply know better than me about what Nintendo may announce this summer. Wait and see.I finished Assassin's creed yesterday, I must say that I enjoyed being a Flag collector in Jerusalem, a way better games than "Stamp Collection Manager". The possibilities to kill the others flags owners is definitely a plus :P.Jokes apart, I

I totally still this video from my good friend Zeb but as a matter of fact, this video remind me too my young existence and the reason I’m doing this job today.Funny to think that I played most (almost all except one or two to be honest) of games presented (mainly because even if I was buying some games sometimes, I was pirating a lot back then)...The Atari ST and Amiga Comodore were hudge in
