Origin is trying to appeal to Steam customers.
At 9 PM on November 24, 2011, Origin will be having a Black Friday sale. This is clearly an initiative to sway customers from Steam for the holiday. Here’s a few of the sales that EA has released:
Namco Bandai has absorbed the developer of the Tales RPG series.
Tales Studio, the developer responsible for the Tales series of RPGs since 1995's Tales of Phantasia, has been closed by parent company Namco Bandai. Although a reason wasn't given, Tales Studio has been having financial problems for some time and bankruptcy rumors have been floating around throughout 2011.
Sonic Generations for the 3DS comes with a club Nintendo code.

The downloadable title wasn't included as promised.
Electronic Arts is being sued after not providing copies of the downloadable title Battlefield 1943 with PlayStation 3 retail copies of the new Battlefield 3, as originally promised. EA first said that the PS3 version of the latest in the Battlefield series would come with a free copy of the 2009 release Battlefield 1943, but later stated this would not be the case.
It's alright when controls are tight.
I’ve gotten further than I ever had in Ratchet & Clank. I’m on Planet Oltanis and I made my way through the various light guards, sentry robots, and machine gun turrets. It hasn’t been easy, with Clank not available for this level. I lack a lot of the various platforming upgrades I’ve acquired through my playthrough. However, I’m here, and the shiny bright aura surrounding my prize is in my sights. All that remains are some floating platforms with slingshot orbs above them. I grapple onto the first one. No problem. The next one is easy to reach as well after waiting for it to be in line. I grapple onto the third and final orb. It pulls me in. I drop down. I land on the floating platform. Something’s wrong. I’m stuck in the falling animation.
Available now for the Wii!
See what I did there?
This week's PB & Jason revolves mainly around Mario! That's right, I've gotten my hands on Super Mario 3D Land now that it has released stateside, and I've been playing it like crazy. What do I think? The title of this issue is a hint, but you'll be able to find all the details inside the podcast! Don't worry, though, issue 65 has more than just Mario inside.
