Tabula Rasa
The Tabula Rasa Q&A on GameRifts talks with producer Starr Long about NCsoft's upcoming MMORPG, discussing the trend of instancing in MMO games, and what role it will play in Tabula Rasa: "One thing that's nice about an instanced space versus a public space is that you can set up each instance space with its own rule set without messing up what is happening in the consistent/public space. Obviously having each space with completely different rules would get confusing for the player, but theoretically, and no one has quite done this yet and it is something we are striving for with Tabula Rasa, you can have elements that make everyone happy, theoretically."
FF vs The Third Reich
RPG Vault Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich Team Q&A #2 continues to gang up on the SuperFriends at Irrational Games by asking as couple of group questions of the team at work on the World War II superhero game about powers, locations, and more.
Vivisector
The Vivisector Q&A on Computer And Video Games (thanks Frans) talks with Serge Roar of Action Forms about their upcoming H.G. Wells-inspired game he describes as "dynamic, horror-action movie that combines the best components of both genres."
Jack Thompson
Jack Thompson (declines to) speak out on gaming violence on Kotaku. Apparently his big kick is destruction.
