Details have been scarce on Serious Sam 3 but IGN got Ribaric to open up about some of the new features in the PC game. Here are some of his choice quotes: **On Story:** "Sam entering the Timelock you see in the original games. This time around, the story is much more integrated into the game - i.e the progression across levels, equipment and enemies is more tied to story and character interactions. But we took special care to make sure the story and cut-scenes don't get in your way when playing. Especially when re-playing the game for 100th time. Fun adrenaline-filled action gameplay and freedom in playing are our primary goals. Fear not - we will not allow Sam to become a FMV-based rail shooter." **On Setting:** "As we've been hinting earlier, you'll fight both in city environments, as well as on historical Egyptian sites, but also in some other areas like villages, desert, underground tombs, and players will also visit some environments that are totally different than all seen before." **On Combat:** "We've really let this idea of melee combat ...

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. But IGN said that UGO's parent, Hearst Corp., will become a shareholder of IGN and play a role in developing the business.

AllThingsDigital reported that the talks are in the final stages this weekend and a merger will likely be announced within the next few days.

Rumors h… Nintendo's next generation Wii console — currently codenamed "Project Cafe" — could land later this year, and it may sport a new controller with a touchscreen display. A user in the NeoGaf forums has posted several images that provide additional details on Nintendo's rumored system. According to the photos, "Screen Stream takes the 1080p image and pushes each rendered quarter to the player's personal TV screen," which is on the controller itself. So if you're partaking in a four-player game, for example, you'll be able to view your slice of the HDTV screen directly on your controller.

'That's an area Nintendo has really been lax on in the past,' says blogger Peter Smith. 'Pure speculation on my part but I just wonder what, if anything, will be streaming to this new console? Video? Gameplay? A strong online multiplayer component?'" Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto has indirectly confirmed that the new console is in development. Read more of this story at Slashdot.
