Atari have announced that the delayed PlayStation 3 version of Alone in the Dark will be “undergo improvements” in terms of gameplay in comparison to the PlayStation 2, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii versions. Hopefully some of the issues in the other versions will be ironed out to create a much better game.

id’s post-apocalyptic open-world shooter Rage (PC, PS3, 360, Mac) will look worse on Xbox 360 due to the compression needed to fit the game’s assets on two DVDs, programmer John Carmack revealed at tonight’s QuakeCon keynote.
According to Carmack, the royalty fees to include a third disc in the Xbox 360 version would be so high that it simply isn’t a feasible solution, with the programmer hoping for Microsoft to make a concession. He stressed that the issue is merely a storage problem and has nothing to do with the power of the Xbox 360 hardware, while adding that the PlayStation 3’s Blu-ray format is Sony’s one leg up on the competition.
Carmack also noted his belief that neither Doom 4 or Rage will be digitally distributed online, as id isn’t looking into that sort of distribution for its major titles at this point.
Ok John, what about installing games on 360’s HDD to improve performance and minimizing loadings? Sounds weird, because Microsoft said you will be able to install games on your HDD, and it’s not joke. Why don’t you use this? Just like optional features, wanna get less loadings and more stable framerate - install game like you got PS3, don’t want or don’t have free space - play regular DVD’s with bigger loadings and less stable framerate?

It wasn’t long ago that Killzone 2 was a video game punch line, the sort of thing you talked about when referencing a game that could never live up to the hype. The first title in the series failed to be the “Halo killer” many believed it could become, and an ambitious “visual target” trailer shown at E3 a couple years back nearly doomed the project from the start, when it couldn’t replicate the same details in-game. All of that is about to change though, as Guerrilla Games has Killzone 2 primed and ready to fight, and the joke will soon be on all those who dismissed this title too soon.

The editors of 1UP.com and Electronic Gaming Monthly have recovered enough from this year’s videogame preview overdose to place their votes for the best games seen at E3 2008. Some games, like Gears of War 2 were naturally expected to leave a big impression, but this year saw its share of unforeseen knockout punches with high-concept surprises like Flower, or the every-bit-as-good-as-promised showing made by Little Big Planet, which took Best of Show, and surprises like FF XIII announce on Xbox360.
