Former Co-worker on Xplay

Seen in the video above is Ali Zandi, a former co-worker of mine who has moved on to bigger and better things over at Pandemic. We tested Smackdown '06 together and it looks like he doing good for himself. Keep up the good work Ali!

Panademic's Saboteur is Looking Good

This game, Saboteur, was announced a while back but a new teaser trailer as hit and it definitely has my interest piqued. Set in Nazi occupied France during World War II, it follows our protagonist as he hunts down Nazi and taking them out for coming between him and three of his favorite things: "his friends, his car and his women." While the premise sounds, well, a little goofy, some of the game mechanics and art direction look very good. Much of the game play appears to be stealth based and the color palette of the area shifts from monochromatic to color as occupied areas are recaptured. I'm going to have to keep my eye on this game as the game gets closer to shipping next year. In the meantime, check out the cool trailer.
