Here is a pretty cool looking amp for Jedi Academy that's called Crimea and is designed for Duel by -Alice-....For those of you who actually came back to the review, a basic rundown: this map is a two-arena ground that honestly keeps reminding me of some sort of temple proving grounds. Texturing and architecture here are just sublime, and the music makes me feel like hosting a tournament =_= ...hmm.. Grab that map off of Jedi Knight Files!

Over on Royal Purple they posted up an alumni spotlight on Kenn Hoekstra who as some of us know, used to work for Raven Software... Here is a snip:Kenn: I started out as a level designer, which is essentially an environmental artist or 3-D architect. I've since moved into the project management side of things. In game development, "Producer" is another name for Project Manager. Basically, you plan out the project schedule, assign tasks to your team and make sure everyone completes them on time. You also interface with the publisher and make sure your company gets paid! Read more about Kenn Hoekstra.

If you hit the Empire site they mentioned the fact that the Wolverine: Origins TV Spot Is Now Online and you can check that out if you go over there.This one, entitled Outcasts, juxtaposes the adult Logan’s ordeal at the hands of the Weapon X programme – when his skeleton is laced with unbreakable adamantium, a procedure which looks as painful here as it did in X-Men 2 – with flashbacks to his childhood in the Victorian era, when a traumatic event shaped his destiny… forever (dum dum DAAAAAAA!). So check out the Wolverine: Origins TV Spot.

Over on Jedi Knight Files Bayoon released a Free For All map that is called Council Building BB for Jedi Academy.The brush-work on this map is detailed and simple at the same time. Something that can be rather difficult to do at times, so +1 to the Author for that. If a version 2 is made, I suggest adding a few more details, though. That map is on Jedi Knight Files.

I see that Lt. Cmdr. Salinga/i> has released Marilyn (deathmatch level) for Elite Force.This is quite an interesting map, especially for a game set in space. The map is set in a cavern with a sandstone-type rock appearance. The map which reminds me of one or two Halo maps is actually really cool with sprouts of foilage and vegetation though none of which provides adequate cover should your camping/sniping skills need testing. So check out Marilyn!

EEnomercy released a fixed version of his Stonehenge map that is made for Soldier of Fortune 2 or Gold.This map is my first creation by the use of easygen.

Over on The Feed they have impressions from Comic Con 2009 on both Wolfenstein and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Here is a snip from the Wolfenstein article:The game once again pits you as American Army ranger BJ Blazkowicz against a whole passel of Nazis for some first-person shooter mayhem. This time around, major plot elements of sci-fi and occult black magic keep this game from reminding you of Call of Duty: World at War. “When you take into account the science fiction and the mysticism, calling Wolfenstein a good WWII game is like calling the original Indiana Jones a great WWII movie.” Here is a snip from the Wolverine article:Vondrak and the rest of the team at Raven threw the shiny-happy Wolvies of old that “punched” with his claws out the window. “We wanted to blow this game out, and make the best and most realistic Wolverine game to date. We wanted to put the Wolverine character in the real world, make it true and gritty. The blood, violence and brutality came with it.” Basically gamers will finally see what would happen if an army of men and the occasional mutant boss-character got in front of Wolverine’s claws. (They get cut into hamburger.) So go check that stuff out!

programmer_beta released a multiplayer map called Artus Base v.1.2 for Jedi Outcast.This map contains all the main areas you would expect of an Artus themed map. It has a rocky outside area surrounded by that green goo, a long tramline, which takes you all the way from one side of the map to the other along with a machinery room with pools of molten lava. It also has a control room, a detention area and of course, the mining tunnels let with that brilliant green light and scattered with crates full of Artusian Crystals. That's all I know.... besides the fact that the map is available on Jedi Knight Files.

So I was minding my own business when I spotted this article: Activision Looking for “Bullshot” Artists and THEN was all 'what the hell is a bullshot' and then read more and was like 'that has to be the stupidest job in the whole game industry'... Holy batcrap, what the hell? Is this real?In a job posting for “Art Services Screenshot Associate,” one of the listed duties is to perform “advanced retouching of screenshots and teach skills to others as needed.” You might want to cast a skeptical eye when images surface for the next Wolfenstein, Call of Duty and James Bond titles. Geez, I'm off here. This is ridiculous! LOL.

I'd like to apologize on behalf of the staff for this being so damnably late, but this is definitely one of those "better late than never" files! There's a breakdown of the levels on the site, plus some screenshots, so go forth and check it out.
