With “A Crack in Time” recently turning gold, Insomniac has already revealed that it has started development on another title. The big shocker being that a billboard, spotted somewhere in Louisiana, is advertising a third installment into Insomniac’s Resistance series. Here’s the story:

When driving past the exploded Gas Station set for Battle: Los Angeles, an upcoming movie, avid NeoGAF user goldsoundz spotted a billboard advertisement (linked) of Resistance 3. However, long story short, he/she took a picture, and now it has people questioning if Insomniac is developing another Resistance title.

Here’s to why: if this Resistance 3 billboard is to be used as in film advertisement, this would suggest that we should expect to see R3 somewhere in 2011. However, Insomniac Games has yet to comment.

Activision are building a new studio in San Francisco. And, believe it or not, they need people to work there. So they have picked up two of Visceral Games’ senior staff member.

According to Kotaku, Activision got their hands on Glen Schofield, who was general manager at Visceral, and Michael Condrey, who was chief operating officer.

They both left today.  To go onto work at Activision’s new studio, whose name and purpose are a mystery. However, I bet we can rule out anything “family friendly”. Seeing that EA’s Visceral Games worked on such games as Dead Space and Dante’s Inferno.

I know we’re a gaming blog, but somethings are just beyond the controller. If you’re watching the news, you may already know that the ‘king of pop’ himself, Michael Jackson has passed away. Mr. Jackson was one of music’s most successful and influential artists.

Jackson was taken to UCLA hospital in Los Angeles after a 911 call at 12.21 p.m. local time. When paramedics arrived at his home in Holmby Hills they performed CPR but were unable to revive him. Streets surrounding the hospital were blockaded by police with yellow tape.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince “Blanket” Michael Jackson II. However, the cause of death was not immediately known.

Personally, Michael was one of my favorite artist. I believe that Michael will live on in his music. RIP, Michael Jackson.

As expected by so many of us, during the Microsoft Keynote today in Los Angeles, Bungie revealed its development on the latest Halo title, Halo: Reach.

In 2007, Cryptic were working on a title called Marvel Universe, a MMO based on characters in the Marvel Universe – no pun intended. But, because of many reasons the game got canceled, and now it seems that the title has turn zombie on us and has returned.

There were many reports stating that Gazillion Entertainment has four development studios working on four massively multi player games. The first three are working on games like, LEGO Universe, the recently announced Super Hero Squad MMO, and an ‘unannounced original MMO’.

The fourth, however? Gargantuan, which is located in San Mateo, California, is busy working on ‘Marvel Universe’, an MMO for the PC and ‘consoles’, but which consoles have yet to be determent. The title sounds interesting especially when you consider that this all-new project is being worked on by former Blizzard, Sony Online Entertainment, Cryptic and NCsoft devs.

They were right, this news isn’t as ‘earth-sharding’ as a new Resistance title announcement but it’s still very interesting, interesting indeed. After all, they are developing something.

Insomniac Games’, the creator of the Ratchet and Clank and Resistance seires,  revealed today that their next title will only be available on the PlayStation 3, besides rumors that they were going multi-platform.

It was also revealed that the title is currently in developement, but, much like must developers on this kind of announcement, they didn’t reveal anything on the game.

The information was revealed in the Los Angeles-based developer’s biographical information as the studio announced it is one of the best places to work for in the state of California, according to an Employers’ Group survey — the fifth-best, to be exact, and the only game studio on the list.

Rockstar Games is proud to announce the fourth installment of its critically-acclaimed and genre-defining Midnight Club franchise, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, is set for release on September 9th in North America and September 12th in Europe. Developed by series creator Rockstar San Diego, Midnight Club: Los Angeles will give gamers the unprecedented freedom to race through a hyper-realistic LA.

“From the beginning, Midnight Club has been about street racing in a open-world,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “With our team at Rockstar San Diego we have developed a game that we feel once again pushes the boundaries and expectations of what a racing game can be.”

Whether driving by the beach or beating the competition by cutting through a parking garage at 200 mph, Midnight Club: Los Angeles provides a seamless, breathtaking environment for everyone who loves to compete. With no load times, no tracks, and no rules, the game allows players to race who they want, when they want, and where they want in an unbelievable recreation of Los Angeles.

“People are going to be blown away when they see how true-to-life Los Angeles looks in this game,” said Jay Panek, Midnight Club Producer Rockstar San Diego. “We’ve added some great twists and turns that let players experience the authentic vibe and feel of the city at blistering speeds that you simply couldn’t get away with in real life.”

A racing game is nothing without the great cars and Midnight Club: Los Angeles allows extensive customization of vehicles for both performance and appearance. Players can now fully personalize their officially licensed imports, tuners, classic muscle cars and motorcycles both inside and out with a dizzying array of licensed rims, spoilers, interior gauges, tires and more.
