Trailers: The Bubblator 2: Judgment Day

Okay, so it’s actually Rayman Origins, but I thought I’d just throw an alternative title out there. Either way, Rayman does not seem like a dude you want to mess with. I mean, that’s just cruel to use people as trampolines just as they’re coming to terms with their new molecular structure.

Trailers: Michel Ancel explains…something…about Rayman Origins

I’m not really entirely sure what he’s trying to get at with such a substantial focus on things that are blatantly obvious, like 2D being simpler than 3D for example. Regardless, Rayman Origins is a dang pretty game, and pretty things are almost always better when you can enjoy them with up to three friends.

Review: Beyond Good & Evil HD


Score: Superb
Difficulty played on: No difficulty options
Time to beat: Roughly 13 hours
Loved the most: An absurd amount of gameplay variety that’s all developed well.
Hated the most: I suppose it could have been a little more difficult.

Beyond Good & Evil is one of those cult hits like Psychonauts that you probably missed when it first came out, and despite how horrible you feel as a human being every day for having not played it, you manage to finagle just enough excuses out of your ashamed soul to justify calling yourself a gamer. But there are no more excuses left with the HD re-release on Xbox Live Arcade for all of $10. Simply put, Beyond Good & Evil is still an unforgettable experience, and had the re-release added a little more than a higher resolution, I’d be hard-pressed not to give this game InsaneBear’s first “Classic” score in two years of operation.

Reactions: 1st episode of Rayman Origins coming this Christmas

According to a recently posted FAQ page for the game, we can expect to see the first episode of Ubisoft’s gorgeous 2D platformer Rayman Origins “for Christmas 2010.” It will see release on HD consoles first, with the “Wii, PC, iPad, 3DS to be considered.” Personally, I’m very interested to see how the game turns out considering it’s the first to be developed using Ubisoft’s new UBIart Framework tools, which were crafted specifically for the purpose of making small team game development easier. Rayman Origins is currently being developed by a team of only five people. If these new tools prove to be a hit, that could have some big implications in the industry when the system goes open-source in 2011.

Reactions: Mystery footage rumored to be Beyond Good and Evil 2

The internet was set ablaze today with this mysterious uncredited trailer that may or may not be Beyond Good and Evil 2 gameplay footage. There are no Ubisoft logos or mentions of the game itself for that matter, but that character certainly looks a lot like the series’ protagonist, Jade, and the visual style syncs with the only previously shown trailer.
