Ubisoft Montreal still isn’t budging from their single home console release stance for Splinter Cell Conviction. Despite recent opinions and rumours, they have reaffirmed their dedication to releasing the title only on the Xbox 360 console (along with a PC release), and not the Nintendo Wii nor Sony Playstation 3. Which makes Ubisoft Montreal development [...]
If the past few weeks of hot girl-on-girl action (the fighting, you perverts) between the lovely ladies of Dead or Alive and Final Fantasy haven’t satiated you, acclaimed CG animator Monty Oum’s Dead Fantasy III and IV are available.

Indian gaming site and publication Skoar! discovered animation reels from what appeared to be Halo: Reach in Contract Animator at Bungie Will Christiansen’s portfolio some time ago.
