Track List Boasts Songs from Some of the Biggest and Most Influential Artists of All-Time Including Black Sabbath, Public Enemy, The Clash and Wu-Tang Clan
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – Oct 23, 2008 – Black Box, an Electronic Arts Inc (NASDAQ: ERTS) studio, today revealed the soundtracks that will power the award-winning Skate It and Skate 2. These two skateboarding games bring the sport’s incredible tricks, epic moves and high energy to gamers with all of the fun – and none of the bruises! The 52 featured songs are from some of music’s most influential and celebrated artists including Black Sabbath, Public Enemy, Judas Priest and Wu Tang Clan.
“The soundtracks for Skate It and Skate 2 builds upon last year’s critically acclaimed Skate soundtrack, “ said Chris Parry, Associate Producer. “The songs reflect the culture of skateboarding, with some tracks picked by the pros themselves, and others coming straight out of iconic skate videos. Skateboarding today is an eclectic mix of people and influences and this is true of where we took this year’s soundtracks. Look for some old school soul and funk, a few rock anthems, some good beats and a lot of classic punk!”
RE5 producer: Wii, PS2 couldn’t even handle title screen of Resident Evil 5

Even though Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi thinks the Wii is a “wonderful piece of hardware,” he also believes that “even the title screen of this [Resident Evil 5] couldn’t have been done on PS2 or Wii.” In some ways, this is an insult to the hardware of the Wii, but it’s not exactly a hidden secret that Nintendo’s system is vastly underpowered when compared to the 360 and PS3. Meanwhile, how complicated could the title screen of the game be that it would be impossible to duplicate on the Wii and PS2?

“There is much to be said about a convention of this magnitude returning to the entertainment capital of the world. The videogame industry is one of the few industries in the nation that continues to show signs of growth, and ESA’s three-year commitment to Los Angeles is a testament to our City’s formidable hospitality and technology sectors.” – Antonio Villaraigosa, mayor of Los Angeles
Obvious attempts are being made to restore E3 to a more respectable state, but let’s hope that we’ll see positive results!
Resident Evil 5 producer on bringing the game to Wii, series in general

“We really like the Wii, we think it’s a wonderful piece of hardware so we are definitely thinking about ways we can bring the Resident Evil series to the Wii, but it may be a couple of years down the road.” – Juntake Uchi, Resident Evil 5 producer
Resident Evil titles that have been released on Nintendo systems sell very well. Both The Umbrella Chronicles and the re-release of Resident Evil 4 were successful, so I’m sure Capcom knows that the series can thrive on the Wii.

505 Games branching out the Cooking Mama brand with Gardening Mama for Nintendo DS
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
Create Your Own Perfect Garden in Spring 2009505 Games is today delighted to announce that the superbly successful Cooking Mama brand is set to extend its instantly recognisable mix of pick-up-and-play game play and fun mini-games into the world of gardening; with the release of Gardening Mama.
Heading to Nintendo DS™ in Spring 2009, Gardening Mama sees Mama heading into the great outdoors to turn an empty garden into a tranquil paradise. Green-fingered players use the touch screen to dig holes, plant seeds, mix fertiliser and ultimately grow a range of fruits, flowers and vegetables.
Just like Cooking Mama saw players engaging in different stages of a recipe, Gardening Mama breaks the plant growing process up into small bite-size chunks of game play. The simple mini-games can be played by wannabe gardeners of all ages, as they grow increasingly more colourful and rare flowers.
