War of the Worlds avatar gear invades XBLA
You had to know it was only a matter of time. They've been out there, watching us for years just waiting for the chance to force themselves on to your XBLA avatars. They've plotted their hostile attiring and have chosen now to take action. You can nab a t-shirt in two flavors for 80msp, a Tripod inspired helmet for 160, of your choice of three pets for a measly 240. If you really like War of the Worlds I'm sure this is neat, but it's not the coolest thing you'll dress your avatar in this year. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.

| 5:00 PM on 11.01.2011 Review: The War of the Worlds |

In 1898, H.G. Wells published a tale of invaders from another world, descending upon Earth's cities with a terrible force. The War of the Worlds has been adapted into every form of media since that time, including a couple of videogames. The latest attempt to tell the story has arrived on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, bringing tripods and heat rays with it.more
| 2:30 PM on 10.13.2011 More War of the Worlds footage to gawk at lovingly |

Here we have the latest trailer for War of the Worlds. Once again, it's narrated by Patrick Stewart, so I know you'll watch it. He ruminates on how tiny we must look to Martians. It's all very excellent. I want to play this....more
| 4:45 PM on 09.01.2011 The War of the Worlds gets new screens and a trailer |

I am really quite excited for The War of the Worlds, having played it at PAX. The moody, death-riddled platforming as seen in classics like Heart of Darkness and the more recent Limbo really resonates with me, and I think this could be a real winner. We've got a selection of screens and a new trailer for you to take a peek at, so go do that. Hopefully some of you care as much as I do. more
| 9:53 AM on 08.27.2011 The War of the Worlds is pure class |

Few stories have remained as lasting and as haunting as H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds. Its tale of a Victorian-era London, beset by pitiless, immeasurably superior Martian harvesters, is still as chilling today as it was ...more

| 8:00 AM on 06.19.2011 Interview: Keep an eye on The War of the Worlds |

Other Ocean is taking their own approach to The War of the Worlds, turning it into a rotoscoped 16-bit style platformer in the tradition of Flashback and Out of this World/Another World rather than making another typical lic...more
