Brütal Legend lawsuit settled [Comments Off]
The Associated Press reports that the lawsuit to delay or hinder the release of EA and Double Fine’s Metal-Epic “Brütal Legend” is now settled and the game is scheduled to be released on time.
Los Angeles Superior Court spokeswoman Vania Stuelp said attorneys for Activision notified the court of the settlement agreement with Double Fine. Attorneys for the companies did not immediately return calls seeking comment on Thursday.
While details about the settlement are unknown, one thing stands undoubtedly clear: Rocktober is saved.
Activision CEO would raise prices further [Comments Off]
Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision, can not be serious. As the transcript of this earning call shows, the man has a clear vision:
You know if it was left to me, I would raise the prices even further.
I am sure you would, Mr. Kotick. While on one hand, I, as a gamer, might not agree with his statement, at the end of the day, they’re the ones making money… Everybody’s darling EA? Not so much.
Quite frankly, if paying 10 dollars more per release will ensure that companies will be able to afford making AAA HD titles and take some risks, it’s a small price to pay, really.
StarCraft II not coming this year [Comments Off]
Kinda awkward really, like staging your own surprise party, but hey, at least now we know for certain: “Starcraft II” is coming in 2010. In Bobby Kotick’s own words:
“As we prepare for next year, we have moved the expected release dates for two games, Activision Publishing’s Singularity and Blizzard Entertainment’s StarCraft II, into 2010.”
Now let’s just make sure that the Beta does not coincide with “Modern Warfare 2″ and all will be good.
Crytek to leave Germany if government bans “killer-games” [Comments Off]
Let’s pretend for a second that the guys behind the “Crysis” series of computer games make actual games and not engines, and listen to what Cevat Yerli has to say about the whole ordeal:
“A ban on action games in Germany is concerning us because it is essentially like banning the German artists that create them. If the German creative community can’t effectively participate in one of the most important cultural mediums of our future, we will be forced to relocate to other countries.”
“The current political discussion will deprive German talent of its place on the global game development stage, and deprive German consumers of entertainment that is considered safe and fun around the world.”
You tell ‘em, Cevat.
Left 4 Dead DLC hits in September [Comments Off]

How Bungie is trying to avoid trade-ins with Halo 3: ODST [Comments Off]
Besides making people virtually glued to their Xbox 360s for years with fantastic multiplayer modes, Bungie has another trick up its sleeve to keep people from selling their copies of “Halo 3: ODST” back to Gamestop and the likes — the “Halo: Reach” beta:
Buy Halo 3: ODST and receive an invitation to participate in the Halo: Reach Xbox LIVE multiplayer beta. If you want in, hold onto your copy of Halo 3: ODST and stay tuned to Bungie.net and Xbox.com for more details.
As seen on bungie.net.
Pretty smart, I say. Not only does this make “ODST” more enticing, people will also be less likely to trade the game in after they’re done with it.
Seen on amazon: PS3 Slim [Comments Off]
Sony simply can not keep a secret.
