Fancy schmancy Tomb Raider art book

The Art of Tomb Raider is looking like a must-have hard-edged coffee table book for any fan of the series and its curvy protagonist. Published by Dreams and Visions Press, the 568-page book actually comes in two volumes, with the first covering “every significant piece of Tomb Raider art” through Angel of Darkness, and the second featuring Legend to Underworld.

The set is priced at $110 and only 2,000 copies of the book are being printed. It appears that pre-orders are still being accepted and the books should ship in late February. Guess we can put this right next to our The Splendid Magic of Penny Arcade: The 11½ Anniversary Edition book.

EA: Rock Band deal with Viacom only through March 2010

rockbandlogo2810 EA: Rock Band deal with Viacom only through March 2010If you’re wondering where Rock Band 3 is, a year and a half after Rock Band 2 and five months after the launch of The Beatles: Rock Band, it seems EA isn’t sure it’s going to get to publish it. During an investor conference call, EA execs revealed that the publisher’s deal with Viacom (the company that owns MTV, Harmonix, Rock Band and maybe you as well) is only active through fiscal year 2010 (which ends March 31).

Presumably the deal somehow includes the yet-to-be-released Green Day: Rock Band — but EA’s unlikely to announce any more Rock Band games until it knows it has the license locked down for another year.

Former EyeToy exec warns of the difficulties facing Natal, ‘Arc’

gameyetoyplaylogo580 Former EyeToy exec warns of the difficulties facing Natal, Arc

In a recent interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Jamie MacDonald, former Vice President of Sony Worldwide Studios (the company responsible for EyeToy), gave out a few pointers to Sony and Microsoft regarding their respective motion controllers. MacDonald warned that gamers are expecting more from the 360 and PS3’s motion gaming than they do from the Wii, due to both consoles’ beefier hardware. However, he also warned about implementing “traditional long-form gameplay,” lengthy sessions of which would leave players “completely knackered.”

MacDonald’s wisest words came when speaking about pricing the two pieces of hardware. He suggested they follow Sony’s strategy with EyeToy, where the peripheral and a piece of software came bundled for the price of a normal game, which kept consumers from “paying a premium for the hardware.” That’s a sweet thought, but it’s a little presumptive — after all, we’ve yet to hear a price for the two devices. (Hell, we haven’t even heard a name for one of them.)
