|   And continues! This week, stay tuned as former majority shareholder Sumner Redstone and several former board members are sued for "corporate waste and unjust enrichment". The suit has been filed by Midway's creditors, who cite "a series of disastrous and ill-advised financial transactions that largely occurred during 2008" as inspiration. According to the creditor's allegations, a number of dealings surrounding the company's sale to Mark Thomas last year were engineered by Redstone and Thomas "to the detriment of Midway". |
| Gorgeous Grapple Buggy Looks Like Bionic Car-mando
May 12, 2009 at 8:40 pm
|
|  Meet Grapple Buggy, an upcoming Xbox Live Community Games title that reaches deep within the psyche to reference fondly remembered games like Bionic Commando and Blaster Master, with a little Contra-esque alien design. Boutique developer Mommy's Best Games—also responsible for the award-winning Community Games title Weapon of Choice—describes Grapple Buggy's gameplay as a "sumptuous blend of buggy-driving craziness and grapple swinging glee," which sounds almost as appealing as battling "terrifying xeno-fauna." But the game's debut trailer, showing off Grapple Buggy in motion, says more than any press release could hope to. |

|  Achievement. Chris Plane over at "also confirm a Red Shirt Achievement awarded to the first to die in a multiplayer game." Since the entire game is multiplayer, I'm pretty sure I'll unlock Red Shirt before I figure out the magic button combo to unlock Kobayashi Maru. The game is a top-down space shooter where players can choose from three classes of ship to engage in several fierce multiplayer match modes. This mystery cheat code that unlocks Kobayashi Maru will supposedly improve your ship's offenses and defenses; which is ironic because the "point" of the Kobayashi Maru test in Star Trek lore is to teach pilots fear when faced with a no-win situation. Captain Kirk cheats and reprograms the test so that it is possible to win. |

EA is pushing a legends angle, with a vintage Muhammad Ali and a prime Mike Tyson facing off on the cover of the game and in its virtual ring. |

| Atari Ditches Plans to Attend E3
May 12, 2009 at 3:25 pm
|
|  This year's E3 kicks off in three weeks; a fact that might lead you to believe that things like the companies attending have been, you know, confirmed. So imagine the surprise today when it was revealed that Atari had backed out of their plans to be at the big event. A statement from Atari (via Big Download Blog) reads, "Atari has made the proactive decision to attend but not exhibit at this year's E3 event. Although we feel E3 benefits the entire games business, we are very focused around other selling and marketing initiatives for our upcoming Ghostbusters, Champions Online and other to be announced titles."Atari is refusing to explain the reasoning behind this sudden decision, but, according to Joystiq, a more detailed answer will soon be forthcoming. Hopefully that will provide us with some indication as to why Atari would make such an abrupt announcement. |

There's action, adventure, potential romance...they even threw in a dramatic eye flash at the end to seal the deal. I'd definitely pay $10 to see this in a theater. I'm just not sure if I'd spend $60 to play it yet. |
| Velvet Assassin Review: Lie Back And Think Of England
May 12, 2009 at 3:00 pm
|
|  Velvet Assassin is a stealth action game that's loosely based on the real-life World War II Allied secret agent, Violette Szabo, who was captured and later executed by the Nazis. That's not a spoiler, though, because the game has only two things in common with Szabo's life: the setting and the first name of the main character, Violette Summers. Beyond that, the game swaps out "secret agent" for "assassin," and revolves entirely around Summers taking out various fictitious versions of real-life people – something that likely never would have happened in real life because the Feminist movement didn't kick in 'til the 60s. |

Fans that put $5 down on for the Nintendo Wii from GameStop will find themselves the proud owner of a tiny minion figurine. There are four different colors available, and only (only?) three titles to pre-order, so unless you double up on a title or known a GameStop manager, your chances of getting all four are relatively slim. |

That's why we're pretty sure you'll be just as perplexed and intrigued as we were when you see the cryptic email we received from a source within Konami early this morning.Bearing the subject line "T -3 days" and containing only a link (http://www.konami.jp/kojima_pro/next) pointing to a currently barren section of Konami's Japanese website, the email message appears to be a dead end -- for now.

|  EA is delivering a second round of Hasbro board and puzzle game goodness to the Nintendo Wii this fall with Hasbro Family Game Night 2. Building on the success of their first game night outing, Hasbro and EA are bringing five new old games to the Wii in Family Game Night 2.

The rest of the titles are comparatively new, with Bop-It, Pictureka, Connect 4X4 (ouch) and Jenga, which makes this the second Jenga game available for the Wii. |

On the Wii, Spore Hero is an action adventure title with combat and puzzle elements. On the DS, Spore Hero Arena is also an adventure game with a strong emphasis on gladiatorial combat. |

Morality systems are all the rage in modern gaming, and inFamous will let players make good and evil choices with the best of them. While these types of options are usually criticized for being too stark, Sucker Punch co-founder Bruce Oberg insists that it won't be "just a binary choice." In a video on the PlayStation.Blog (via VG247), Oberg said, "you don't have to be good and evil the whole game. You can go back and forth between it. And depending on whether you're good or evil at any particular time, you can actually choose to upgrade your powers in different ways."As an example, Oberg said that "depending on where you are in the game, you may want to actually play a mission with certain sets [of powers], and it may actually make sense for you to maybe become more evil to play a particular mission. |

Several balancing issues are addressed as well, such as capping the number of points per match and reducing speed for the Prophet of Regret. Anders Cryo Bomb and Anders Hawk upgrades both cost 50% more, and Vampire Tech Upgrades increase damage more than they used to. |

Both would be European offers, due to retail for €399, with the R&C bundle packing an extra controller to compensate for the game's budget price. As predictable and plausible as these look (especially the inFamous one, with it being one of Sony's biggest first-party games of the year), they're as of now unconfirmed by Sony, so bear that in mind. |
