Showcased at the Ubisoft Press Conference early in the piece was Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction, which is nearing completion after a long development period. Alexandre Parizeau, Producer on the game, and Andreane Meunier, the Production Manager were hanging around the Ubisoft booth, and were more than happy to answer some questions for those of us stuck at home, filling us in on the storyline, showing off some of the great gameplay contextual attacks, talking more about Mark and Execute, and explaining why the game was so very long in development.

UbiSoft Entertainment have released a sales report, indicating that as of December 2008, sales of their products went up by thirteen per cent, leading to a total sales value of five hundred and eight million euro for third financial quarter. This is an increase over sales the previous year's third quarter, which was four hundred and fifty million euro.
The five hundred and eight million euro worth of sales exceeded UbiSoft's financial guidance, when it had previously indicated that it expected to sell products valued at around five hundred million euro. In reflecting upon its success, UbiSoft cited titles such as Far Cry 2, Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party, Shaun White Snowboarding and Prince of Persia as major contributors.

The Holiday flood begins this Thursday with the release of an ungodly amount of games, including Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway, Crysis Warhead and Wipeout HD, and doesn’t stop until the week before Christmas. To save you all a bit of time, I like to run through the release list at the start of a given quarter, and make sweeping generalisations as to the quality of upcoming games.
Last week’s Warp Pipe covered the games of October, so this week we’re looking at November’s big hitters, including Gears of War 2, Left 4 Dead and Mirror’s Edge.

So the 2008 E3 Media and Business Summit has wrapped up. Bitter fanboys are sure to have run out of tears, at least temporarily, while tired journalists are no doubt catching up on some much needed sleep. I have no doubt that many of you have long lists of games you're now salivating over even more than before – better start putting those pennies aside. On the other hand, those of us on the reviewing side of things are currently wondering how on Earth we're going to manage to cover all of the fourth quarter's games without going insane.
This week, we'll reflect on the events that transpired during the three manufacturer press conferences and discuss our thoughts and any potential ramifications, and we'll also look at a few of the best games that were on show.
