At a recent San Francisco THQ-hosted event, I got some hands-on time with the Kaos Studios FPS, Frontlines: Fuel of War. The game, due this Fall, is based on the movement of the leading waves of troops; in multiplayer and single-player, moving the front line forward while securing checkpoints generally wins the battle.

This approach seems like an interesting direction, although it owes a lot to traditional checkpoint, squad-based FPS titles. Much of the gameplay still feels typical of the genre — our map of choice was an oil refinery and its oh-so-many shades of brown — but the controls seem responsive and fun.

This is one of those weeks. I haven’t had five free minutes to myself, and it’s only going to get worse in the next few days. I’m on my way out to see an IMAX screening of 300 in a few hours. Tomorrow night’s a double-feature of Italian Crime Films at the Grindhouse Festival at the New Beverly. And then Thursday, I’m going to be at Cine-Space, hosting a special screening of EVERYTHING’S GONE GREEN starting at 7:30.

Douglas Coupland is one of those authors who blew up with an initial title, but he hasn’t really kept that same level of hype over the years. That’s a good thing, I think, because instead of chasing hype with each new title, he just focused on becoming a better and better writer. ELEANOR RIGBY from a few years ago is one of the best books I’ve read about loneliness. Coupland has done a great job of aging with his audience, growing up as a writer as they’ve grown up as readers, and with EVERYTHING’S GONE GREEN, he’s finally written an original screenplay, taking a new challenge at a time when a lot of writers would be playing it safe.
