The Ultimate Baseball Online
Website offers word that the game will continue to be free to play (thanks
DrDeath). The announcement comes just four days before the subscription system
for Netamin's MMO virtual baseball simulation was to go live. The game will be
supported by advertising.
The
Battlestations: Midway Website
is now live, replacing the teaser site that was previously keeping its seat warm
(thanks
Frans). The multilingual
Flash site offers the Games Convention
trailer from the upcoming World War II action/strategy hybrid along with some
new 3D screenshots.
Big day at the multiplex. Thanks
Frans.

The
Supreme Commander Q&A on GameSpot talks with Chris Taylor, learning from the
supreme commander at Gas powered Games about what to expect from their upcoming
real-time strategy game: "We struggled between two extremes early on when
designing the units. On the one hand we wanted each faction to be unique, but we
also wanted to balance them. We finally decided that early on in the game, where
each side is using the lower tech levels, we made it so that each faction had
access to similar units, and if not in form, close enough in function so that we
could balance them. However, as the game progresses, and as the player increases
in tech levels, the three factions start to separate more and more on a
functional level so that by the highest tech level, what we call experimental,
no two units are alike."
Even though it's Saturday, game one of the World Series will not begin until
well after 8:00 p.m. Eastern time tonight, continuing the unfortunate trend that
emphasizes advertising dollars at the expense of playing the games at an hour
that could be viewed by children.
