| Square Enix Putting The Squeeze On Chrono Trigger Fan Projects?
May 11, 2009 at 9:30 pm

|  If you were looking forward to the fan-created Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes, look forward no more. The creators of that ROM-hacked project claim that Square Enix has threatened legal action against them. The five-year-long project, based on the original Chrono Trigger Super Nintendo ROM was due to be released later this month. But according to a cease and desist letter posted by Chrono series site Chrono Compendium, Square Enix's legal staff has claimed copyright infringement.

| PC | Plants vs. Zombies Review
May 11, 2009 at 9:01 pm
|
|   Plants and zombies aren't exactly what you'd call natural enemies, given the latter's single-minded hunger for brains and the former's complete lack thereof. Despite being brainless, plants apparently appreciate the hand that waters them, so when zombie hordes come to eat your brains, it's Plants vs. Zombies. To protect your own gray matter, you create defensive fortifications around your house by cultivating a wide variety of cute, combat-ready plants to handle the goofy varieties of zombie attackers. Plants vs. Zombies is solidly rooted in the tower defense genre, but it grows and branches in such a charming, accessible way that almost anyone can pick it up and have a lot of fun. The basic gameplay is pleasantly engaging, but it will take seasoned defenders a few hours before they can play legitimately challenging levels. Fortunately, Plants vs. Zombies rolls out new units and environments at a good pace, and the minigames, puzzles, and Survival mode offer some clever and challenging diversions. It's a delightful game that is both addictive and accessible, and you'll never look at your garden the same way again. |

| GameStop Gives Away Movie Tickets With Movie Games
May 11, 2009 at 5:20 pm

All you have to do is purchase one game that GameStop considers a movie game between now and June 30th in order to receive a free ticket to a movie of your choice. Luckily for us, GameStop's definition of a movie game is rather loose, so titles like Resident Evil 5 and Ghostbusters qualify for the free movie ticket deal as well as the games that actually have movies currently in theaters. The choice of movie thing is also a plus, as it means those of us who have to suffer through purchasing Hannah Montana: The Movie for the young, misguided females in our lives can use the free pass to see something violent enough to wash the lilac out of our wallets. |

While last year's top developer Nintendo still performed admirable, Blizzard Entertainment pulled ahead this year to score the top spot in the Develop 100. With more than $100 million in subscription revenue per month generated from World of Warcraft alone and the fastest selling PC game of all time in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack, Blizzard simply dominated all things PC and massively-multiplayer related last year. Considering they've got Diablo III and StarCraft 2 coming down the line, I wouldn't be surprised if Blizzard held onto the spot for another couple of years. |

It's the type of music I could easily fall asleep to, and being a relatively hardcore online role-playing game player that's the sort of feature I look for in a game like Aion. |
