We just got our hands on the Windows Phone 7 during an interview at GDC, and given our unnatural obsession with bolstering our online notoriety, the most prevalent question in our mind was: just how many Gamerscore points can we crank outta this thing?

Having dominated the rally track with DiRT and DiRT 2, and taken a lap around the street-racing arena with GRiD, Codemasters has announced it’s now tossing its hat into the Formula One ring with F1 2010. Yeah, we kind of expected some weird capitalization, too. It’ll run on Codemaster’s EGO Game Technology Platform [...]

Microsoft is here at GDC showing off its upcoming Game Room service, and we got it on video just for you. The experience is probably exactly what you expected, but it’s worth noting that while the service does utilize Avatars, you don’t actually walk around the virtual arcade as your Avatar. Instead, the arcade [...]

Sony will announce the “official” name for its PlayStation Motion Controller during its main event tonight (7PM ET) at GDC. In the meantime, let’s play a game!
According to our source, the official name for the device is one of the choices in the poll below — we’re not going to tell you which one, though. [...]

Brett Favre is one of the all-time greats. Still, he throws one untimely interception, and that’s all people talk about. Just imagine if he threw 7 and a half million! That’s the number EA highlighted during its EA Sports Opener last night in an extraordinary example of the game data the company collects from its [...]

Windows Phone 7 isn’t just Microsoft’s attempt to compete against Apple’s iPhone. It’s also the introduction of the first portable Xbox platform. During GDC today, we talked to Xbox Live GM Ron Pessner and XNA Game Studio manager Michael Klucher about how games integrate into the mobile platform and what gamers and developers can expect [...]

Following today’s GDC keynote from OnLive CEO Steve Perlman, his COO, Mike McGarvey, fielded questions about the game streaming service that’s launching June 17. Unfortunately, just how much full games will cost on top of the $14.95 monthly subscription fee was not one that he answered.
McGarvey did confirm that the service will launch with a [...]

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Ubisoft will release a short film ahead of the release of Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. The film will be helmed by Francois Alaux and Herve de Crecy, the duo that just won an Academy Award for their short film Logorama. We’re assuming the Ghost Recon film won’t be quite as [...]

We already broke out the news you’re looking for: Each of the Windows Phone 7 Xbox Live-infused games will offer its players 200 Gamerscore points. You’ll be able to boost your Xbox rep in significant chunks without having to hunker down in front of a big screen for long stretches. You’ll never again have to [...]

It’s an awfully nice gesture of Sony to invite us to its GDC 2010 press conference — and it’s one where we expect to see some equally nice gestures. That’s a Motion Controller joke, folks. Check back by 4:00PM PST (7PM EST) to catch our full and irritatingly detailed liveblog!

4:24PM Jeremy, the demo pilot, doesn’t [...]

EA’s John Schappert spoke on the sticky situation regarding Activision and Infinity Ward at GDC today, and rather than put a spin on what he said, we’ll let the man speak for himself:
“I’m sure there’s two sides to that story, I’m certainly not passing judgement,” Schappert said. “On the human side, they’re two great guys. [...]

Though you guys had some bold, provocative ideas for what the heretofore unnamed “PlayStation Motion Controller” should be called, Sony has just squelched your creativity during its GDC event by giving the peripheral its official name: The PlayStation Move. We know, we know — we were also really hoping for “The Seybold,” too.
So, now that [...]
