Three of the devs behind BioShock 2, Minerva’s Den, BioShock Infinite and XCOM have started their own game development studio.  The Fullbright Company, comprised of  Steve Gaynor, Johnnemann Nordhagen and Karla Zimonja states:

Our goal is to “make a great game. A memorable experience that you’ll be drawn into, and keep thinking about after the game’s turned off, and want to come back to again someday. An experience that gets away from the constraints of ossified game genres, while relying on what we’re good at as a team: creating immersive places to inhabit, and a deep, personal story to explore at your own pace. A nonviolent game in an unfantastical locale; an experience that not many games provide, built out of techniques that only video games can employ.”

We can’t wait to see what they make!

Remember last week when Konami revealed a very short live-action teaser trailer featuring a scientist and some torture and they hinted at something else being released today? Well what they revealed today was a longer and slightly clearer version of what we saw last week.

The trailer itself can be found below, and it appears to show Raiden on the operating table as he has new biotic parts being placed onto him, though he has no clue what is going on and in the end neither do we. To top all that off, there are scenes of torture from when Raiden was fully human, perhaps a flash back onto whom he will be seeking “revengeance” upon?

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed will feature many returning Sega characters, as well as Vyse from Skies of Arcadia, a much loved title finally getting some notice. When Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is released this holiday season it will be available on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, Nintendo 3DS and even the PlayStation Vita. Check out the game in action below.

If you haven’t picked up a Nintendo 3DS yet or your current 3DS has broken somehow, then you will soon have yet another color to choose from when you go to the store. The recently rumored Midnight Purple Nintendo 3DS has been officially announced today and the company has set the release date for the new color as May 20th.

It is interesting to note that Mario Tennis Open is also released on that same day, coincidence? Probably not. It is also worth noting that this purple 3DS is exclusive to Western countries as it has not yet been revealed for Japan.
