Another 
classic video game from id Software is on the way to movie theaters. Let’s just hope it turns out better than “Doom.”
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Castle Wolfenstein is ready for its close-up. Roger Avary, who co-created the story for “Pulp Fiction,” will handle the writing and directing duties. At present, there’s no estimated release date for the film.
Former 
Red Sox ace Curt Schilling’s bad luck in the video game industry didn’t end with the closure of his development studio. In fact, it could be about to get a lot worse.
The state of Rhode Island is suing the founder of 38 Studios — and several others — over the $75 million loan it made to the company, saying they “knew or should have known … that 38 Studios was destined to fail.”
The 
Los Angeles Lakers have an 0-2 record and went winless in the pre-season. Kobe Bryant is playing on a bad foot, Dwight Howard’s still getting in game shape and star point guard Steve Nash had to be helped off the court near the end of the first half on Wednesday after suffering a shin injury.
But according to 2K Sports’s NBA 2K13, they’re still going to win it all this season.
While 
there are roughly fifteen trillion (a conservative estimate) debates and arguments raging online about whether Disney taking over the Star Wars franchise is a good or bad thing, George Lucas’ prominent video game arm has generally been left out of the discussion.
Once a beloved studio responsible for classics like Sam & Max, Monkey Island, and of course countless Star Wars greats, LucasArts has been fairly quiet recently, failing to produce a significant hit in years.
The 
surprise acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney Tuesday will certainly shake up the film world, but the deal also looks set to have substantial ripple effects in other parts of the entertainment industry.
Disney and Lucasfilm both have video game studios. Both have substantial licensing arms. And both have advanced technology divisions that lead the industry. The impact from those units, say experts, could make the deal’s $4 billion price tag look like a bargain.
Ask 
any entrepreneur about the most valuable asset a startup owner can have and the answer will nearly always be “a mentor.”
While the details of the startup world change constantly, there are a number of patterns that remain consistent — and there’s no better way to navigate those than the counsel of someone who has been there.
The 
U.S. has been ground zero for technological advancement for years— especially with the rise of the Internet. But entrepreneurial experts are sounding the warning bell that those days might be numbered.
Silicon Valley is still the heart of the tech world, but foreign-born entrepreneurs, who traditionally have moved to the U.S. to start their companies (or stayed here after attending American universities), are now opting instead to return home, in large part because of the difficulty in obtaining a work visa.
Ubisoft 
SVP Tony Key believes in the potential of Nintendo’s innovative new Wii U. Problem is, he’s not totally sure if the general consumer really understands the console’s potential.
With the exception of Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo, no one bets more heavily on new console launches than Ubisoft.
It’s something of a video game industry tradition that the publisher rushes headlong into new system launches — and with the Wii U on the way, it plans to have six titles available on day one (with three more coming by the end of Nintendo’s extended “launch window”).
There’s 
been plenty of speculation about when Rockstar Games would roll out the next installment of Grand Theft Auto, but precious few hard facts.
Rockstar finally pulled back the curtain a little on Tuesday, announcing via its company blog that GTA V will launch worldwide in the spring of 2013. Pre-orders for the game, which will be playable on the Xbox 360 and PS3 (but not, apparently, on the Wii U), will begin on November 5.
Parents 
hang on to the oddest treasures, usually because they’re not entirely sure what to do with old books, videos, or games.
For Harv Bennet, however, being a packrat is about to pay off big time.
