If you've been paying attention these last few months, you're familiar with the glacier-slow newsdrip about what Steven Spielberg's upcoming game projects would be. Today -- perhaps a little ahead of schedule, given the story's July 16th print date -- Newsweek's N'Gai Croal finally dropped some specifics on Spielberg's projects. Not much, but hey, beats what we had last week (which is to say, y'know, nothing). The previously-mentioned project exclusive to the Wii is an action-puzzle simulator, code-named PQRS, which Croal describes as a game that "neatly blends the creativity of the building-blocks game Jenga with the charm of a Saturday-morning cartoon". Project PQRS allows the player to move about blocks in a physics-based environment using the Wii remote as an extension of your hand -- how that will factor into the game on the whole is anybody's guess, what with a categorization like "action-puzzle simulator". Spielberg is also working with EA on a title for the Xbox 360 and PS3, and -- oh, hell, since I can scarcely begin to imagine its application, I'll just lay down a quote: The second game, code-named LMNO and made for Xbox 360 and PS3, can be described as "North by Northwest" meets "E.T." —if E.T. were female, grown up and, um, hot. You don't play as the girl, however. You're an ex-secret agent, and the bond that you forge while on the run with the computer-controlled woman — good, bad, indifferent — determines the nature of her special abilities and the ways in which she'll assist you. Says Spielberg: "The challenge is, can the game have an emotional impact on players while they are actively manipulating the world?" Based on the clever ways in which he and EA are extracting a genuine performance from their digital Eve—complete with eyes that widen, lips that curl and translucent skin that lights up in different colors to express her quicksilver moods—we think Spielberg's got yet another hit on his hands. Pretty awesome ideas, but the execution will certainly be key in these games, particularly the latter -- failure has been quick to befall concept-heavy games in the past, but this concept sounds particularly sexy. Let's hope that the lads at EA can bring Spielberg's vision to life with some semblance of success, yeah? [Via Newsweek]

Great. I always wanted a mood ring for a girlfriend.
As long as the weapons aren't switched with walkie talkies on the game...I'm fine with it...I think.
These both sound interesting, having a big name like Spielberg involved could even lend out beloved pastime some legitimacy.
Kotua: LMAO
Wait, so he's more or less making a Jenga game? And the other game is being described as a cross with E.T.? This already smells of fail.
"the creativity of the building-blocks game Jenga"
My brain has started smoking trying to figure what the hell that means. Jenga is creative? You try to avoid knocking over a bunch of blocks.
*brain explodes*
I'm intrigued. I enjoy physics based stack the block games even though I can technically do that with actual blocks. Hopefully there will be more to it than that?
The Wii project sounds completely disappointing. As for the 360/PS3 game, I stopped listening after hearing that E.T. is going to be a hot chick.
That second game has some really intriguing ideas. I'm looking forward to seeing how it works out.
Wii? Minigame.
Both games don't sound very promising.
After seeing that turd of a movie they're calling "Transformers", I've lost faith in Spielberg as a producer.
E.T. was hot
Ya know? Is there really anything hotter than this?
Most gamers probably aren't even familiar with North By Northwest in this day and age. And the keg of ET jokes has already been tapped, and everyone is pumping it for all its worth. Failure of analogy, overall.
Perhaps they should put Will Wright on it to ensure a speedy production cycle with realistic goals?
They certainly put a lot of thought into the codenames of the games.
"LMNO" and "PQRS". Genius I say, but I ask, what about TUVW?
This sounds quite awesome. Especially the second Project Eve or whatever game.
Sounds like he wants us to experience Minority Report again. This time I might be more interested!
Steven Speilburg's making video games?
wonderful. the industry is saved. thanks steven, now you can do to games what you did to legitimate cinema.
cunt.
Yay.
