I now have a new favorite site. It’s called Rumor Engine and it allows people to freely post whatever game related discovery or nuggets of truth (i.e. totally made up shit) with the rest of the world. Here’s just a few…

The new console is going to have a internal hard disk , keeping in there all the Sega, Sammy and Nintendo released for 8 and 16-bit consoles of Sega (Game Gear, Master System, Mega Drive) and Nintendo (GameBoy, Famicom, Super Famicom). The system is having a system that is able to play all the games for the systems above. It’s not known whether it will be a handheld o a desk console. More details as they come
- The first 9/11 game is being produced in the UK by Rockstar. It is going to be an action/adventure game that revolves around a character named Jack “Brick” Wilkins, a Smoke-Jumper from California who is caught in the North Tower on that fateful day. The game will feature parachuting sequences through billowing smoke and flames, aerial gunbattles, life and death struggles through the smoldering rubble, rescue attempts, and other dramatic sequences. Rudolph Giuliani, George W Bush, and Saddam Hussein (tentative) will make guest appearances.
- The character Ben from Full Throttle and Hoagie from Day of the Tentacle are in fact brothers.
- Duke Nukem Forever just went gold and will ship on September 30th
- The Xbox 2 is currently in the design stage to have a hovercraft base which will float above the surface using magnetic forces, allowing the cooling of the system by sucking in air from below the X2 and releasing it through the sides of the system.
- Xbox 2 is going to be silver. Because it’s futuristic.

- Mel Gibson’s Publishing company is working on a game based on the popular movie “The Passion”. It will be a multi-POV FPS, in the tradition of Call of Duty that allows you to take the part of Roman Soldiers, Jews, and Jesus Christ himself. The game will be based around a set of mini-games, such as a game in which the player controls a roman soldier whipping jesus and must aim his blows correctly, a logical puzzle game that pits the player (as the head jewish priest) against Pilate in a battle of wits to have Jesus killed, and finally a typing game which has Jesus on the cross and forces the player to speed type biblical passages. Mistakes cause Christ’s hit points to decrease. More mini-games will be announced as the game is developed
- A relatively unknown Irish game studio named Shannen Corporation is developing a knife fight FPS. You play an often drunk Irish werewolf and you cruise the Englih pubs in the countryside. You pick up fights, etc. Looks pretty lame from what they showed at the magazine I work in

- Capcom is in talks with Michael Moore and his production company for a Fahrenheit 9/11 game based on the movie. It is expected it will be released for PC, Playstation 2, and XBox
- Actually, Sony will file for bankrupcy on September the 17th, not the 15th as someone else said.
