AC old Men

In the next installment of the assinscreed series you will once again be playing as Ezio Auditoire De Frienze.  But you will not be the young ladies man he used to be.  Ubisoft has said that Ezio is now an old man, about 50.  Other changes have been made to the gameplay like a new system in eagle vision to track and plant traps for guards.

The DS lite goes away

In a letter to gamestop stores from nintendo, it talks about how the DS lite is now going to be discontinued.  There have already been two more DS releases since the lite came out, and now the 3DS is out, so once gamestop stores are out of their current DS lite stocks, they will get no more.

well that was quick

Days after the release of the highly talked about Dead Island trailer, the movie rights were sold to the producer of cult classics "Dazed and Confused", "Animal House", and another big name produces behind big blockbuster movies such as "The Mummy".  Lets hope this doesn't fall under the category of "bad video game movies"......

BaD reporting sKillz

In Sorth Korea the Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation aired a report on gaming in which they came to the conclusion that video games cause violence. To prove their point, they did an experiment at a net cafe in which they showed gamers gaming.  The experiment then shut off the power to all the computers, at this point people became very agitated and started using profanity and were talking in very loud voices.  Now in a net cafe you pay for your computer time so naturally  anyone would become angry.  This report upset a large group of gamers and really shows poor journalistic skills.

Video Games Win a Grammy (sort of)

At the Grammys last night, composer Christopher Tin won a Grammy for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalists. Tins composition "Baba Yetu" which was featured in the game Sid Meier's Civilization IV.  One funny item to mention about this is the fact that Civilization IV came out in 2005.
