“It’s far from done and dusted – there are still many more stories to tell from [game world] Mistralis. We’ll keep you updated as we have news.”
I really can’t wait until we start seeing the next LostWinds game. I felt like the second title in the series was such a huge improvement over the original. I do wonder though if the third game will end up on WiiWare again, or a different platform.
Last year, Quantic Dreams founder David Cage said that he respects the Wii, but explained that he isn’t interested in making “toys.” Cage echoed similar statements about Nintendo’s console once again recently. In an interview with JeuxVideo.fr, he noted that the Wii “is like a toy, a funny board game.” You can check out Cage’s full statements below.
“When you have a game console like the PlayStation that has a hard drive, a blu-ray reader, that connects to the internet, and does a billion other things, and that has a “hard” in terms of games that really is extraordinary, well, I think at some point people make the difference between something that is like a toy, a funny boardgame like the Wii, and a real… well a real multimedia center with an extremely strong videogame experience.”
If October was a massive month for gaming, then November is an absolutely colossal, gargantuan, other-synonym-for-big month.

No idea, so here are all the ones I could be bothered to write about! Enjoy!
It’s probably a bit too early to be talking about this year’s Spike TV Video Game Awards. The event won’t be taking place for another couple of months, after all. Still, that isn’t stopping Geoff Keighley from hyping up this year’s show. Although he wasn’t ready to reveal specific details yet, he did say that the event will feature Spike’s “best VGA lineup” ever.
“Man we have so much to tell you! But it’s not quite time yet. It’s the best VGA lineup we’ve ever had, I promise you that.”
