Hm, just found this press release in my Inbox, along with a trailer for Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, which was described as a "complete re-imagining" of the old Sega Genesis platformer. The game is on its way to Windows PC, XBLA and PSN this summer...

Thanks to Disney, we can now wave good-bye to LucasArts. LucasArts is not just another publisher. That name has been around for as long as I can recollect being a dumbass gamer. All those memorable adventures games such as Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, The Dig, Loom, Monkey Island, Indiana Jones, Grim Fandango, hmm, then the Jedi Knight series...

It's been a damn long time since we heard anything about LucasArts' Star Wars: 1313. Kotaku has dug up info that the project may be on hold, citing three unrelated sources familiar with game development at LucasArts. The sources claim the work on Star Wars stopped sometime when Disney bought of LucasArts last year...

Disney Interactive revealed that Junction Point the Texas-based studio founded by Warren Spector and Art Min shutd down, following the poor sales of its recently launched title Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two. Here's Disney's official statement: "It was with much sadness...

The Walt Disney Company is officially going to acquire Lucasfilm Ltd. in a stock and cash transaction worth $4.05 billion. "It's now time for me to pass 'Star Wars' on to a new generation of filmmakers," said George Lucas, 100 percent owner, founder and chairman of Marin and San Francisco-based Lucasfilm...

Cute. Could be fun too. But I dunno... It's just too much. Or maybe I've outgrown this shit. Thought I'd never outgrow this shit. I'm also a bit confused, because I see all these iconic video game characters up there, but all packed in a wacky, modern-day 3D cartoon.

Remember Epic Mickey? Yes, that one. Well, it appears that a sequel is well under way and that there are over "700 people around the world working on [the game] now," as Warren Spector revealed to GamesIndustry.biz. There is no official info or media on the game yet...

Went to the cinema this morning and I decided it was high time I saw something cute and simple. No flashy, Hollywood blockbusters with exploding boobs and nipples that explode onto exploding boobs. So, I went to see Winnie the Pooh (2011). You know what? I enjoyed it :) In fact, I enjoyed it a lot. Brilliant, timeless stuff... makes you feel happy and all warm inside. Ah, right, now that we've said something nice and decent, it's time to admire some daily tittage!

Pixar = pure and unrefined awesomeness:

Sorry, I'm late guys. Went to see Tron finally. The movie is... well, fun, kinda... I dunno. Not the kind of fun I expected. Daft Punk was awesome, the special effects were awesome and, last but most certainly not least, Jeff Bridges who carries the entire picture with superb acting...

Propaganda Games, responsible for the recently released title Tron: Evolution (a game portraying events that lead up to the big-budget movie Tron: Legacy), is apparently going down the tubes. Reports have shown that Disney has sold a mere 190,755 copies, according to data compiled by NPD Group...

Pixar never ceases to amaze me. Last night, I watched Toy Story 3 for the first time and it made me laugh hysterically and it made me cry, similarly to other Pixar movies in the past really. They manage to create characters and settings that are so wonderful and unique and at the same time they become universally loved...

Disney brings reintroduces us to its iconic character - Mickey, who finds himself quite the pickle this time around. Developing this Wii-exclusive action adventure along with Disney is Junction Point Studios, helmed by the well-known game designer Warren Spector...

My inner geek slowly awakens... I want this movie. By the way, still debating with a colleague of mine whether or not they did a good job of reconstructing the face of the young Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges).

Remember a while back how we talked about the possibility of Warren Spector working on a new Mickey Mouse game? Well, it has just been confirmed that the well known game designer is in fact teaming up with Disney to develop Epic Mickey, which, as we understand it, will be a Wii-exclusive...
