Is that the same Ace Combat game that helped the 360 to beat PS3 sales in Japan, for that week, for the first time?

It *is* “Me,” in that instance. *I* do to things; things do to/with *me.*

On that (rather disturbing) note:

“I didn’t even get started on the grammar.”

Te be fair, it could turn out that the horse and the player are merely objects to the game…

Hey! Don’t knock Jenga DS! I worked on the engine for that at APE. I’m pretty proud of my input into the DS engine… though I never actually played the game, I have to admit (my gameplay programming was on a different DS title). Aren’t industry placements fun? :D

…I wonder if they left my name in the credits…*goes off to poke people in the know*

As JP says, Atari have nothing at all to do with the Atari of old. I put up an old Atari logo as a joke, more than anything.

Infogrames bought the name a few years back as part of a rebranding exercise.

Still, it’d be sad to see Infogrames go. And yes, Test Drive Unlimited was good. Shame they forgot to market it very well.

It’s the principle of the thing! I am well aware that I could go over to Chuck E. Cheese and be steeped in much deeper Atariness than I would be playing any of those godawful DragonBall games. But the name still does sort of mean something, and I shall be sad to see it go.

At least until Nolan Bushnell buys it back so he can open “The Atariland Pizza, Auto Detailing, and WiFi Center,” or whatever the hell his next crazy-ass amalgamation of food, technology, and some other utterly inappropriate wildcard turns out to be. Then I think I’ll be sad to see it come back.

See, this is why I should not have days off. I end up spending hours posting comments about the state of affairs at Atari instead of doing actual work.

I’d be a lot sadder if Infogrames had anything at all, other than buying the brand name and logo, to do with the original Atari.

Well, Atari EU has just put up a new teaser for Alone in the Dark at http://www.centraldark.com (d’you see what they… etc. etc.) suggesting that there is progress of some sort. Keep an eye out for slap-in-the-face Evil Dead/Carpenter references in the video to win bonus points.

I think it’s safe to assume that there’s a sequel to Test Drive Unlimited (which I thought was rather good) in development at Eden as well. If that gets cancelled I’ll be pretty non-plussed.
