Gamers no longer want to play games that last 60 or 100 hours according to Silicon Knights president Denis Dyack.
"Legacy of Kain had about sixty hours of play, but games have changed. People don't want that any more. I don't care how good the game is, I don't want to play something that's one hundred hours long," Dyack told GamesIndustry.biz in an interview published today.
"If we're going to craft an epic story we decided we had to divide it into manageable chunks for the consumer," he said, referring to Silicon Knights' proposed Too Human trilogy for Xbox 360, the first instalment of which is currently in development. "At the same time we wanted to do a game that it has a chance to evolve and take advantage of development changes.
"We think the future is all about content. By getting our flow of process together for the first game we can then look at it and evolve the way we work for the next games in the series. We didn't want to have to start from scratch again after the first Too Human. Is it gutsy to promise so much? Yes, but making games is hard."
However, Dyack warns that even if you split your story into chunks, you can't expect every player to keep up. "Each game needs to be self contained," he argues. "That was flaw in the The Lord of the Rings movies. Too Human will be self-contained across each game of the trilogy.
"There'll be more background for those that play all three. It's not a hook, it's a promise that if players want something epic, this is where to come. What we're trying to do is create something that moves the industry towards a very content-rich environment. I love trilogy books and series. We've got a lot of things to say in Too Human and we couldn't do it in anything shorter than three games."
Do you agree or disagree with the "Gamers want shorter, better games" comment ? ...by Published on May 3rd, 2007 19:11

The Entertainment Software Rating Board website has listed a Wii version of Tecmo's awesome action game Ninja Gaiden.
Ninja Gaiden: Black on Xbox has a Mature rating and even comes with the promise of featuring "Blood and Gore, Intense Violence" while the Wii version is currently rated an E, containing "mild violence".
But does the listing really mean the game is in development?
We're not so sure as there isn't a listing for the upcoming PS3 title, Ninja Gaiden Sigma. And that's defiantly coming out because we've played it and so have most PS3-owners who downloaded the demo.

Operation:
He is always or to be the PSP connected to the shipper or to have the battery to but of half, by ai perhaps. It is not necessary LuaPlayer to use it since it sends a EBOOT to it.
To decompress to the root of memory stick and to say if to everything like always.
The folder backups must be in the root, and DeFlasher in /PSP/GAME /PSP/GAME303 or GAME150…
For 340_OE place in folder ms0:/PSP/GAME150.
During the flashing you will see the light of ms to blink, and a screen saying “done” when finalizing he himself.
If for whatever reason the file to be flashing not this in his place the return program an error message, but there is no problem since it does not give the flashing of this file and us return to the main menu pressing “start”.
start: in the menu always reinitiates the program that estes and you it gives back to the main menu.

News/release from LuisLizard:
This program changes your XMB theme every time you restart your PSP automatically. It works by using the autorun feature in OE firmwares, you can also cycle your theme by running Cycle Theme at your game menu.
This was tested on my 3.40 OE PSP and worked flawlessly.
Features:
-- 3 slots for themes
-- Automatic theme flashing at startup
For now the only thing i plan to do is to add more slots.

It's no secret that several members of the IGN team are big fans of the puzzle/RPG hybrid Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. Released in March for the Nintendo DS and PSP, the game was an overnight success with consumers and media. A version has just been announced for Xbox Live, and the thought of scoring Achievements makes us hungry to start playing the game all over again from level one.
We recently chatted with the game's developer, Infinite Interactive, and publisher, D3, about the success of Puzzle Quest, the future of the franchise, and other projects currently in the pipeline. Infinite was even charitable enough to provide some tips and strategies for Puzzle Quest success. Here we go:
Soccer moms and zombies are big casual gamers.IGN: Were you surprised by the success of Puzzle Quest?
Steve Fawkner, CEO and Lead Designer at Infinite Interactive: Puzzle Quest is actually the 17th game on which I've been Lead Designer, and I find there comes a point usually about halfway through a project when you know if the game you're working on is really good. Puzzle Quest was giving out those vibes very early in development, so we knew we'd stumbled onto something pretty cool, if we could just finish it, polish it and give it all the love it deserved. So, we weren't surprised by its success. What did surprise us though was the lightning quick acceptance and popularity it gained throughout the gaming community within just a few short weeks of launch. ...by Published on May 3rd, 2007 18:39
