It’s rare to find an amalgamation of different intellectual properties in one game. Copyright issues, licensing problems, exorbitant licensing fees — these are some of the reasons why crossovers rarely happen. But when it’s the exception rather than the rule, the news of a crossover is a rather pleasurable surprise, perhaps even a shocking one: Namco characters in a Capcom game? Impossible! Solid Snake in Super...

It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been working in this industry. If you are the figure head of an important and long running franchise, Pac-Man, you must compete in a championship circuit of go-kart racing. Mario did it. Mega Man did it. Bomberman did it. Heck, even the deformed chickens from Final Fantasy did it. You’re getting up in your years and while you have a few on that fat Italian guy, you could still learn a thing or two from him.
The extent as to which Pac-Man World Rally...

We all love monkeys. We all love balls. Monkeys with balls just seemed like such a natural thing. Rolling them around, knocking them into walls, and dropping them off high places has made for a much loved gaming franchise.
But what do the encased simians do in their off time? Do these little buggers have lives outside of shifting checkerboards and goal lines? Dreams? Aspirations? Well, they do at least have a home, populated with non-balled monkeys who are in perpetual need of rescuing by their ball-equipped...

It’s been only five short months since Naruto graced the GameCube with Naruto: Clash of Ninja, but D3Publisher of America is already planning the next installment of the orange dynamo, Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2. With an early localized build of the game, D3 made a stop over at the 1UP offices recently, where we took a raucous test drive through the game’s newly added four-player mode, as well as a tromp through its story mode.
The first Clash of Ninja contained a paltry selection of 10...
Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy

Picking apart humor is kind of like dissecting a frog. You might figure out how it works, but it’ll tend to die in the process. Nevertheless, we decided to have a chat with the producer of Lego Star Wars 2 about creating the humor in the game, why it’s one of the few parody franchises that actually works, and what we’ll have to look forward to this next time around. No frogs were killed through the course of the interview. Some Ewoks got maimed a little bit, but nobody likes them...
