Senators including the bill's co-sponsor retract their support.
Yesterday, a number of sites, including Wikipedia and That Guy With The Glasses, went "black" in protest of the SOPA and PIPA bills. Both bills have seen mounting opposition from the internet community, Hollywood, and other creative industries. Members of Congress seem to be paying attention, as representatives and senators are dropping their support of the bills left and right.
A change has occurred for Sony's transferable dungeon crawler.
At last year’s E3, Sony paraded out a little title called Ruin that was playable between both the PS3 and on the Vita. Much has been made of this transferring ability but today Sony announced that Ruin is no more. That’s right, Sony has decided to exchange the game’s original title for a new one and as such Ruin is now Warrior’s Lair.
NFL Blitz fumbles the pigskin ...
NFL Blitz is a franchise with an interesting history. Going from being an actual NFL-licensed property with a relatively deep strategic angle, to an unlicensed product that seemed like it was truly gunning for ESPN’s highly-supported television drama, “Playmakers,” Blitz: The League (as it was re-branded) attempted to take a more “realistic” approach to the concept of video game football. This “realism” included bone-shattering and skull-destroying injuries that could be inflicted upon players. Despite these changes, Blitz: The League found its way into my heart very quickly, eclipsing the merits of both its arcade and home console predecessors.
It's a shift in a very positive direction.
The 3DS version of Snake Eater has been moved around quite a bit since its announcement at the 2011 Tokyo Game Show. Originally scheduled for a December 2011 release, the game was pushed back to March 8, 2011 in November to iron out some bugs and prep the game to be compatible with Nintendo’s Circle Pad Pro. Now the date is shifting again, but this time it’s going in a much more favorable direction.
This is what happens when the old and new collide.
Does anybody remember Body Wars at EPCOT? It was one of those simulator rides that had the passengers shrunk down in order to enter a human body and carry out some kind of mission. I honestly can’t remember what that mission was or even if it was successful, but I do remember how amazed I was as a young child, flying through a complete stranger’s cardiovascular system, red and white blood cells zooming by my head. It was an awe inspiring experience that has stayed with me, perhaps through the nostalgic lenses of rose colored glasses, and it’s a memory tapped by Nano Assault on the 3DS.
