Stick it To The Man!!! 2008-03-27 17:26:00 So, it turns out Take Two's shareholders feel the same way as the company does when it comes to EA buying out 51% of shares at $26 a share. "Our board, after careful review, has unanimously determined that Electronic Art's offer continues to provide insufficient value and continues to remain unopportunistically timed to capture the value of the upcoming Gran Theft Auto IV launch at the expense of our stockholders" Take-Two Chairman Strauss Zelnick explained.The Board also confirmed that it will explore alternatives to maximize value for stockholders, which may include a business combination with third parties or with EA, remaining independent, or other strategic or financial alternatives that could deliver higher stockholder value than the current EA offer. The Board has commenced a proces Read more:Stick
Yo Soy El Army....Half an Army At Least 2008-03-26 18:09:00 It’s time to make some new friends, or make sure you hang around people who are also gamers, because Army of Two is here. The game starts off in Somalia back in 1993, when our two protagonists are still enlisted Army Rangers. Which is when they are approached by SSC (Security and Strategy Corporation), a Black Water-like Private Military Company. From there on the story takes us through modern day Afghanistan, Iraq, an Aircraft Carrier-USS Constellation, China and Miami with a few twists.AoT, as the name suggests focuses on two player coop at all times, even when playing single player thanks to integrated PAI (Partner Artificial Intelligence). Action plays out quite similar to Gears of War, as they are both third person shooters with Resident Evil 4 like camera angles, but the accuracy o
G.I. Joe the movie 2008-03-25 19:10:00 I know I know, this has nothing to do with games at all but come on!!! It's G.I. Joe!!! I had like 200 of these action figures growing up....and yes, that is what they are called, NOT dolls. Scottish actor/stuntman Raymond Park, who's portfolio includes characters such as Baraka in MK: Annihilation(the bad one), Headless Horseman in Sleepy Hollow, and yes, geeks get ready....Darth Maul(Hope, I don't need to introduce HIM), will play the role of Snake Eyes as pictured.

Dark Sector First Reviews 2008-03-25 18:25:00 The highly anticipated game is almost here and some sources have already given their reviews. But will Agent Hayden catch the glaive, or will it slice his fingers like that dude in Mad Max 3?So far, it hasn't been too good for Dark Sector, as it received an average of 7.6 from both Game Informer and IGN. Andrew Reiner of Game Informer (whom I trust more than most editors) even went so far as calling it a ''one trick pony''. So what is going for Dark Sector? Well, according to reviews the game seems to have excellent presentation both sound and visual department, so that's a plus...but I saywait for my review, because sometimes these editors play so many games that they get confused or something and end up giving a perfectly good game a bad review.If you insist on taking a look for yourselv Read more:First
Condemned 2:Bloodshot early views 2008-03-25 17:05:00 Yesterday or last night rather, I received a copy of Condemned 2, and I am still working my way through the gruesome game which some of my friends who have 360's suggest will make me scream or toss the controller at some point...and so far nothing... Will. Although my girlfriend found it to have way too much blood, I feel the game has just the right formula. And my hat is off to Monolith for such a great job with the sounds. Well, to keep it really short...Overall, I'm really excited to see what is to come later in the game, perhaps I too will join the ranks of girlie man who doesn't finish the game for a month because they are too afraid to go it alone.

Gibson suit against Guitar Hero 2008-03-25 17:00:00 Activision has slammed guitar maker Gibson
over its Guitar
Hero lawsuit targeting the video game publisher and several US retailers.Gibson claims in the suit that Guitar Hero violates a patent registered in 1999 for a platform that "simulates a musical performance".The federal lawsuit filed last week names US retailers Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, Target, Kmart, GameStop and Amazon, and follows a similar suit against
Activision earlier this month."Activision continues to believe that Gibson's claims are disingenuous and lack any justification," the company said in an official statement."Gibson's lawsuit is a transparent end run around an impartial court that Activision asked on 11 March to rule on patent assertions that Gibson knows have no merit."Activision maintained that its Guitar Hero retail

Bad, Bad Company 2008-03-22 14:11:00 According to rumours leaked by a game tester for Battlefield: Bad Company
, EA is planning on charging to unlock some of the weapons used in the game. 10 in all, although it is said that five of these weapons would come unlocked with Gold Edition of the game, gamers will still have to pay for the other five and those who buy regular version will have to pay for all ten of them. And given EA's record for supposed DLCs(because the contents were on the disc to begin with) in recent Need For Speed titles, this rumour is not far from reality. And, I personally think it is ridiculous for them to ask us gamers to pay $59.99 for a game and then turn around and try to charge us these fees to unlock something that should already come with the game to begin with. if it were the other Battlefield DICE

Jack Thompson Sanctioned by Florida Supreme Court 2008-03-20 14:02:00 In today's news, I'm pleased to announce all gamers that Miami attorney Jack Thompson
will no longer be able to file anything directly to FloridaSupremeCourt
, instead he will need to hire an attorney who will be investigated by BAR.Here is a passage quoted from court's orders:This Court cannot allow its judicial processes to be misused by Tasse(JackThompson) to malign and insult those persons and institutions which havebeen unfortunate enough to come in contact with Tasse. Tasse has litigated thematters he raised in his petition repeatedly, and this is not the first timeTasse has filed scandalous pleadings in this Court. This Court has the authorityand the duty to prevent the misuse and abuse of the judicial system. It is clearthat Tasse is unable to maintain the bare minimum standard of Read more:Jack Thompson
Console Wars: The Toxic Menace 2008-03-19 15:43:00 Since the day they were announced, our current consoles have been in a fierce battle, who will win?...is Sony doomed?, What on earth is a Wii?...and so on. But now, Greenpeace has come up with its version of console battle; who makes the greenest product? And I have to say, finally I have seen Wii lose in something.According to the article of Greenpeace.org, Sony is the current leader by both having a recycling plan and pushing for toxic free products (though PS3 is not yet one of them), despite being most power inefficient(128W when idle).Second to the throne is Microsoft. They have plans to eliminate toxic chemicals but not until 2011, 360's are currently non-recyclable. 360's power efficiency 98W when idle.I guess Nintendo is still hurting from Gamecube losses so they are trying to save Read more:Console

Games-as-porn ???? 2008-03-17 18:21:00 As reported on Gamepolitics.com, tomorrow in Massachusetts, the legislature will hold a hearing about House Bill 1423; a video game measure which helps prevent minors from obtaining M rated games.It is said that the bill resembles the Jack Thompson-authorised Louisiana video game law, ruled unconstitutional by a U.S. District Court judge in 2006.(HB1423 is a “games-as-porn” bill which would seek to restrict minors from buying violent video games under the same rationale used to block them from buying sexually explicit materials. That is, HB1423 would define violent games as harmful to minors in the same legal sense as pornography. From the bill:Matter is harmful to minors if it is obscene or, if taken as a whole, it… depicts violence in a manner patently offensive to prevailing stand Read more:Games

What I See: Iron Man 2008-03-30 12:15:00 Ever since I heard about the Iron Man
movie and game based on it, I've been happier than a Japanese dude picking school girl undies at a vending machine. But, since then I have been a little worried about the game. As, more and more videos come out, I have been noticing some issues. First off, the camera when Iron-Man takes flight seems to be horrible, doesn't really show where he is headed, I don't know, it maybe because the game features a free camera option and the person playing it wanna show it off, if not that...the camera needs some work. Also, I noticed how easy the game was. Yea, I know it is a beta version and all, but at such vast spaces, our protagonist should be facing armies, not 20 soldiers and 5 helicopters. Maybe I am wrong, I hope.... Until the game comes out, and I get t
