Machinarium Devs Look To Sony After Microsoft Pass On Publishing

,----[ Quote ]
| Machinariumâs Jakub Dvorskà clarified the 
| situation to Joystiq: âThey told us, âItâs 
| not Microsoft-exclusive, we donât want it.â 
| They didnât cite the Mac and Linux versions 
| [as reasons for the refusal] but itâs quite 
| clear thatâs the reason. It means if we want 
| to release the game on XBLA we must throw, 
| probably, most of the profit out of the 
| window â to the publisher. Just because we 
| created Mac and Linux versions.â

Nexuiz - Looking good!

,----[ Quote ]
| Nexuiz 2.5.1 is a tremendous improvement
| over old versions and a great standalone
| game overall. It has everything a young,
| violent mind needs - good, fast pace,
| mindless killing, lots of weapons, and
| graphics par excellence. Singleplayer has
| shaped up, offering new challenge to the
| players. The multiplayer mode is as fun as
| it has always been, quick and brutal.
