Yeah, I was looking up the details just now and it's the only performance in Europe.
I'm hoping they include travel because it might be a problem otherwise. |

I'm in Dundee, which is the east of Scotland and the concert is in London so it's the other side of the country.
Tickets are available to the public in the UK and US but I'd imagin they'd all be gone by now. |

Konami announces Silent Hill Downpour has been delayed from an October 2011 release date to now around a mid-2012 release date with no official reason given for the delay. Although, the company did show off a new trailer for the game as part of the delay announcement.
The company also denied claims from European retailers the game would have a February 2012 release and admitted the delay will be longer than initially expected. A potential reason for the delay could be due to the new changes Konami wants for the game and the use of a new developer for the project called Vatra studio from the Czech Republic. The game is still set for release on the Xbox 360 and PS3 with the PS3 also getting 3D support. http://www.screwattack.com/news/sile...ntil-next-year --------------------------------------------------------------------- Quick News Round-Up: 1) A couple of PSVita news as Sony reveals the pricing of games for Japan will be around the $65-$80 range (PSP and PS3 range) while Vita titles sold on PSN will be $6 less than retail copies. Also revealed was Sony does have plans to include compatabiltiy for PSP games which were UMD-only but it will come at a "special price" and Sony has said they are not fully commited to support the service. 2) Some Nintendo 3DS news as an officially licensed headset made by Manufacture Power will be arriving with only Europe confirmed for now and at a price of 24.99 Euros ($38.99). In terms of games, Nintendo reveals a new powerup for Super Mario 3D Land will be a Boomerang Bros costume while Namco announces the 3D remake of Tales of the Abyss will have a November 25 rate and a TBA 2012 date for US/Canada. 3) THQ announces the results of the fan voting for the cover of UFC Undisputed 3 will have Anderson Silva as the cover athlete. |

Need a game to play. Preferably a ROM for NES, SNES, Genesis, GBA. Shining Force looks like a feasible option at this point. Any opinions on that game

Shining Force is a tactical RPG like FF Tactics, so if you're not into that style of battle, you won't like it.

I have played Uniracers, it is good. Love FF Tactics. Started Shining Force. A little cheesy, like Suikoden almost. Got into the first fight and accidentally cast a spell which sent me back to the town. Not sure if I want to continue. I want a good RPG

FF Tactics is great, but Shining Force is like a decade older, so yeah. It's going to be old and rusty, just like Final Fantasy I.

Twisted Pixel announces Microsoft has purchased the company to become an exclusive 2nd party studio for the Xbox brand with Microsoft having been interested in the company ever since Splosion Man.
Originally Microsoft was content to let Twisted Pixel make games on other digital services as long as Xbox Live got the games but recent moves by Sony either in guaranteeing exclusives for PSN or outright buying companies could have swayed Microsoft to finally make the purchase of the company. Twisted Pixel's CEO responded to the purchase saying it was a good move for both companies while also hinting they are expanding to include Kinect games for future projects: Quote:

Sony has said they were not hacked directly but part of a larger attack targeting multiple companies at once and will immediately send emails to affected accounts for users to change their account passwords. 2) Sega confirms Dayton USA was the classic game as the surprise game from their recent contest and will be arriving on XBLA (Oct. 26) and PSN (Oct. 25) for $10. The game will contain updated visuals, 8-player online races, karaookee-mode, and steering wheel support (all compatable for Xbox 360, only Logitech GT Driving Force for PS3). 3) Sony announced every retail copy of Uncharted 3 will also come with a public beta copy of Starhawk included. While the beta won't officially start until early 2012, it will allow 32-player matches with more details expected to be revealed once the beta is ready to go online. |

During a discussion panel at WTIA TechNW, the co-founder of Valve, Gabe Newell, feels Apple has the best chance at the moment to "eliminate" the console market in terms of winning the living room. He also discussed why he feels the idea of completely closed systems will hurt gaming in the long run.
His main criticism was towards Apple and how they structured their App Store to focus more on getting people attracted to the shiny device and then own complete control of what they can and can't do with it. Quote:
In a counter to other members of the panel who said it would be unlikely for consoles to disappear, Newell mentioned while the living room has been traditionally the dominance of consoles, he feels Apple is preparing to make a move to that domain. It would be done in a similar way that allowed Apple to gain dominance or control over the other domains and industries. Quote:

Rockstar also revealed a $149.99 statue of the main character that comes with accessories will be available for sale and ends the debate on the character's name by saying he is officially named Claude. 2) Nintendo reveals the previously European-only Wii bundle containing New Super Mario Bros Wii and the Soundtrack for Super Mario Galaxy 2 will in fact be arriving to other regions for $150. The new bundle removes Gamecube compatibility, the GC controller ports and memory card spots, and the vertical stand due to it now being a horizontal-only console. 3) Another new company has been formed based on former Rare employees as Starfire Studios has been created and announced their first game, Fusion: Genesis, will be available on Xbox Live Arcade in the near future. The company was formed by 4 former members of Rare with the majority of their experience coming from the N64 era and Halo 3 for recent work. |

I've beaten 1 and 2, and they are both good games for their time. Definitely get fucking hard at the end; I probably wouldn't have beaten one of the final bosses quickly without a quick save/quick load feature.

Microsoft and EA announce a recent scamming attack has compromised an unknown number of Xbox Live accounts with the starting point being the release of FIFA 12.
Microsoft confirmed the network itself was not hacked and the attack was more of a scamming issues regarding emails with the spike in activity found in that area of the network. The company also said the issue of FIFA 11 and FIFA 12 stuff appearing on affected accounts was more of a coincidence than something intentionally done by the scammers. Quote:

Current rumors are placing the blame on EA due to their Ultimate team mode in the FIFA series being a well-known target in attracting scammers and people who sell accounts and pre-made teams with all the stats available. http://www.giantbomb.com/news/micros...ve-hacks/3746/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Quick News Round-Up: 1) EDIT: Made a mix-up in the THQ news, they haven't killed off the entire Warhammer 40k series but the Space Marine spin-off series and the upcoming MMO project will be a Warhammer game using some stuff from the Space Marines game. 2) Even though Activision initially stated all the modifiers and modes from the Wii version of Goldeneye 007 would be available on GoldenEye Reloaded, the company announced today they have locked away Paintball mode as a pre-order bonus. The mode is still available for those who didn't pre-order but unlike the Wii version, the mode along with other stuff has to be unlocked by playing the game and multiplayer. 3) Final Fantasy XIV has been completely rehauled after Square-Enix struggled with issues during development and negative feedback from the media and consumers who saw or played builds of the game during expos. The title will also change to Final Fantasy XIV Version 2.0 with the first public showing of the overhauled game occurring before the end of this year in order to stay on track for a late 2012 release date.

I'm sure Saints Row 3 will do alright. WWE 12 is the big question mark. The series gets by on kids who get their parent to buy all the WWE merch they can and die hard wrestling game fans who swear this is the last time they buy an SvR game every year.

People seem genuinely pumped for WWE 12 though. SDvR 11 had a lot to do with restoring some faith in the series.

The new Deus Ex DLC is 15.00 on LIVE but only 10.00 on PSN. No official announcement of this whatsoever, so people are thinking it's an error on PSN's part.
Get it while it's still up. |

Epic Games might have a similar involvement on the next Xbox system similar to giving advice and recommendations during the development of the Xbox 360.
The studio in the past has said what types of stuff and requirements they hoped the next Xbox and other next gen systems should have with today the Gears of War series creator specifying what he is looking for in the next Xbox system. The studio already said the minimum should be in the 2-8 GB range for RAM and high-end graphic cards regardless of the potential costs added to the system. According to Cliff Bleszinski, he wants the next Xbox to have a strong focus on graphics to both Avatar-like levels and for them to also match current real-time CGI graphics done in games. Quote:
The current Xbox 360 was originally designed to make full use and preference towards what was the current version of the Unreal Engine at the time. http://kotaku.com/5851219/what-gears...-the-next-xbox -------------------------------------------------------------------- Quick News Round-Up: 1) Sony announces the PS Vita has an official release date of February 22 for the North America, Latin America, and European regions with the launch lineup still set as a TBA besides Uncharted Golden Abyss. The company also announced based on pre-order numers, the more expensive 3G model appears to be the preferred model at the moment. 2) Based on a statement released by Bright Light Studios, developer of the recent Harry Potter games, EA is consdiering closing down their studio with more also be considered as part of a "centralized" plan towards development of EA published games. It is also rumored EA will be dropping the Harry Potter franchise once the closures do occur with the possibility of other lower tier franchises being dropped. 3) Activision has officially made the Spider Man series part of their annual releases as a new Spider Man game is set to arrive in 2012 by developers Beenox studios and would be the third year a Spider Man game was released in a row. The game will be a tie-in to the upcoming "The Amazing Spider Man" film and as of now has a Summer 2012 release date. |

Smelly Meatball's News Round-Up from the Blitz post
S---------------------------------------------------------------------
Quick News Round-Up: 1) Update on the "Scrolls" lawsuit involving Mojang and Bethseda as Team Mojang won their court case allowing the company to keep the name of their current project. The court rejected all claims and momentary damages brought by Bethseda and their parent company in their attempt to have exclusive rights to the "Scrolls" name. 2) Achievements for the Xbox 360 version of Assassin's Creed Revelations were leaked with the big ones involving a lower max experience cap in multiplayer, Desmond specific achievements, and 2 related to previously unannounced historical landmarks in the game. http://www.screwattack.com/news/spoi...ievements-leak 3) Capcom announces Monster Hunter 3G will not have online multiplayer and instead follow the PSP route of local/ad-hoc only. The game itself is a portable version of Monster Hunter Tri from the Wii but will still have 3D capabilities in exchange for the online modes the Wii and console versions of the series usually have. |

Serious Sam 3: BFE is a game that values quantity, both in terms of your guns and the enemies on the other end of the barrel. Since you can carry every gun in the game at the same time and switch between them at will, we thought it would be fun to take a look at every weapon in the game. Developer Croteam even sent over some notes on when to use each one. Keep in mind: these are just friendly suggestions. You can use anything to kill anything at any time. It may end poorly for you to use the rocket launcher in tight corridors, but hey, this is America. If you want to blow yourself up with your guns and explosives, we can't stop you. Experimental personal missile launcher XPML21 is designed to provide infantry forces with a fast firing rate of anti-armor rockets. Advanced loading mechanism fires up to 85 unguided self-propelled missiles per minute. Do not fire near close obstacles. Evolving from Gatling through Vulcan and M134, XM214-A is the latest news in infantry armament. Self-powered and complete with a built-in magazine and a recoil adapter, this is the most powerful personal weapon available. At 1,200 rounds per minute, it is ideal for confrontation with tough enemies or mass elimination of a large number of smaller opponents. The XL2 is still in experimental phase, but has so far proven to be a very reliable weapon for various purposes. The four barrels fire in succession, allowing the weapon to deliver energy pulses with an extremely high rate of fire for a long period of time without overheating. Made entirely of titanium, it is both very light and immune to usual overheating problems, making it an excellent energy weapon. A special issue pistol that has proven its combat effectiveness on numerous battlefields across the universe. This small gem can unload a burst of damage into an opponent, but its small magazine capacity precludes its use in massive fights. The cannon was reverse-engineered from powerful techno-magical weapons used by Mental’s artillery. Cannonballs can be fired in rapid succession and the weapon can be charged to release an incredibly destructive flaming cannonball. The sledgehammer can be swung from an overhead position for maximum damage or from the side for quickly clearing enemies directly in front. An alternative fire allows the sledgehammer to be swung a full 360 degrees to clear out anything in the surrounding area. Watch your toes. The 16mm armor-piercing, Kevlar coated bullets will pass right through most known armor types. A Flexible 2x-4x zoom ratio allows the shooter to choose between a larger peripheral field of view and more precise aim at longer distances. The M29 is best described as a hybrid of previous rifle technology innovations with a gas operated, rotating bolt mechanism for rapid-fire mode and controlled short bursts. The reflex sight allows for quick target acquisition and easy tracking. At 600 rounds per minute, with long range and low dispersion, it is well suited for most combat situations. A standard civilian double-barreled 12 Gauge shotgun originally marketed for hunting and self-defense, it has proven to be very effective against most aliens. Efficient for short-range elimination of medium sized enemies, but scatters the pellets too much to be used for long-range shooting. C4 charges can be used to blow holes in architectural obstacles, to eliminate groups of smaller enemies or to attack larger individuals. The remote control unit is used to detonate one or more charges simultaneously from a safe distance. Using the hooks, skilled throwers can attach a charge to an enemy without approaching too closely. Referred to informally as the “Devastator” on the battlefield, this automatic shotgun fires explosive shells with such force that the rounds pierce through smaller targets and shred enemies standing in line. Brings the boom all day. Ordinary slug pellets are efficient for short and middle range elimination of smaller enemies. Standard 10-shell cartridge allows for faster reloading and faster overall average rate of fire. Sirian Mutilator Bracelet. Ancient artifact of presumably Sirian origin. The inscription reads “He shall devour the nations of his enemies, break their bones, and with his arrow shall tear them in pieces.” This display appears to indicate when the weapon is charged enough to deliver damage to the target. Apparently, this item also doubles as a key to some restricted areas of Sirian underground complexes. In conclusion Isn't it nice to see all these pretty renders? It's like artifacts lined up in a museum. I've been playing a preview build of the game with most of the levels included, and it almost hurts my soul to see them like this; they need to be out in the field, reducing things to small red chunks. Serious Sam 3 is coming to the PC on November 22. |
