No, you aren’t seeing things. That right there is said to be an image of Superman taken from the unnamed Superman project that Star Wars: Rogue Squadron developer Factor 5 had been working on before they went belly-up. While unfortunate, let Factor 5’s story be a warning to all developers out there: One bad game can ruin you a whole lot faster than a series of good games can build you up.

Now somebody buy Factor 5 so they can finish this Superman game, dammit!

Finally, the gaming industry is speaking out about that ridiculous “video games will kill you” a campaign from Change4Life. Which is a complete surprise to the organization, apparently.

What a joke. You more or less imply that video games will kill your kids and you didn’t expect at least a few industry insiders to take that personal? C’mon. Either you’re bullshitting or you’re clueless.
