THQ today announced its upcoming videogame based on HBO's series The Sopranos. Currently under development, the game promises to evoke the atmosphere, action and conflicts that are the cornerstone of the hit show. The game is backed by key members of the all-star cast who will lend their voices and likenesses, including James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano. The Sopranos game is scheduled to release for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 2 this holiday season.
Time mends all wounds, apparently. Valve Software's president and co-founder Gabe Newell openly expressed his distaste for working on next-generation game consoles in the past, but that hasn't stopped the company from announcing plans today to develop future game releases on Xbox 360.
In addition to enhancing their custom Source engine with improvements taking advantage of the Xbox 360 hardware, Valve's focusing on incorporating future releases into Microsoft's Xbox Live service. Xbox Live sure would make an enormous amount of sense with the studio's episodic content plans for Half-Life 2.
