Morning Q&As

  • Battle for Middle-earth
    The Battle for Middle-earth Q&A on Middle Earth Warcry talks with Mark Skaggs and Harvard Bonin about the upcoming Tolkien-inspired real-time strategy game in a conversation that combines text with a video interview. There's also The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth Community Day Report - Part 1 on Loadedinc also offers a video interview with Harvard Bonin.
  • Stalingrad
    The Stalingrad Q&A on Strategy Informer tracks down designer/writer Petr Prohorenko to discuss the upcoming WW2 RTS game: "Stalingrad is a military-historical real-time strategy which covers the whole period of the battle for Stalingrad paying as much attention to details as possible. We’ve concentrated our efforts on the battlefield engagement of the Red Army and Wehrmacht on the southern part of the East Front."
  • Poacher
    The Poacher Q&A on GenGamers catches up with Peter Khojasteh of Exileworks about their upcoming shooter that adds a little more game balance to the hunting game mix: "Poacher is a hunting game with quite a bit of action. If you’re not chasing down an elephant, or outrunning an insane crocodile along a riverbank, chances are you’re being shot at by game wardens or Interpol. The game mixes this sort of enjoyable gameplay with resource management that is not just an afterthought."
  • You Are Empty
    The You Are Empty Q&A on HC.Gamer converses with Yaroslav Singaevskiy of Digital Spray Studios about their upcoming alternate-history first-person shooter: "The story takes place in the Soviet Union, in the fifties of the XX century. It's alternative vision of what might have happened in that period of time. In our game USSR becomes the world's leader."
  • Playboy
    HomeLAN Fed's Playboy: The Mansion Q&A talks with Brenda Brathwaite and Seth Spaulding of Cyberlore about their upcoming man-about-town sim: "Translating Hef's experience into a game was both easy and complex. It was easy because Hugh Hefner has already lived the life. We just had to make that life playable. So, we came up with a tycoon sim - starting from scratch, you have to build an empire one issue at a time."
  • Black9
    HomeLAN Fed's Black9 Q&A talks with Stephen Perrin about the pen-and-paper version of Black9, Taldren's now-cancelled RPG.

I like how it's ok that we have games where we violently dismember or otherwise obliterate other humans, but a game where we shoot an insane crocodile is taboo. Yet more evidence how screwed up we are that it's ok to show gruesome violence but not Janet Jackson's nipple.

Unless you meant that in real life, it's bad to shoot crocodiles and elephants. Which is revealing that you would compare shooting animals with child pornography, murdering fellow humans, and even drug trafficking. Wow.

I'm sure there are a few other things I could touch on in there, but I'm suddenly too depressed about my fellow man to continue. I think I'll go blow some people away in Soldier of Fortune 2 to make me feel better.
