IGN: officially out of ideas?

PS2 News | PlayStation 2

In an amusing turn of events, the mighty IGN.com apparently paid homage to GamesRadar by seemingly using one of our month old ideas. IGN's top 10 weekly countdown of the "exceptional, fascinating and absurd" was indeed exceptionally similar to GamesRadar's own Top 7 - Series Run into the Ground posted back on January 23rd. It suggested a fascinating insight into IGN's idea generation process and was, to the GR edit team at least, certainly absurd. The evidence: * GamesRadar posts Top 7 - ...

Jack Thomspon versus Manhunt 2

PS2 News from N4G | Manhunt 2

PS2 - Manhunt 2 - Jack Thomspon versus Manhunt 2

Lawyer Jack Thomspon is once again protesting against a violent game. In the past he has protested against GTA: San Andreas and not so long ago he tried to ban the game Bully. This time Thompson is trying to ban Rockstar's recently announced Manhunt 2.

Thompson said that some individuals asked him to protest against the new Manhunt game. This would be because a friend of the individuals was murdered by someone who played Manhunt.

This is the letter Jack Thompson wrote about the situation.

"Miami attorney and anti-violent video game activist Jack Thompson has been asked by individuals in the United Kingdom to help stop the distribution of Take-Two / Rockstar's hyperviolent video game Manhunt 2 in that country due out this summer. The game will feature stealth murder and torture. The last version allowed suffocation of victims with plastic bags."

"The original Manhunt was responsible for the bludgeoning death of a British youth by his friend who obsessively played the game. The killer used a hammer just as in the game he played. Take-Two / Rockstar, anticipating the firestorm of criticism with the release of the murder simulator sequel, is lying to the public on both sides of the pond in stating this week that the game had nothing to do with the murder. Take-Two is also stating that the sun does not rise in the east because Take-Two makes no money from its rising in the east. Take-Two has been repeatedly found in the U.S. by the federal government to be guilty of fraud, so what would one expect it to say.

Jack Thompson has agreed to this request from the U.K. Look for this effort to begin shortly given the summer of 2007 release date."

Are they gay...?

PS2 News | PlayStation 2

Tuesday 20 February 2007 Zelda's fairy obsessed Tingle is gay. No question. But how about Gears of War's gruff and brutish Marcus Fenix or God of War's one man massacre machine, Kratos? Here are five popular gaming heroes that we think show signs of covert - and not so covert - campness. Could they be gay...? Kratos (God of War) Sure, he's violent, full of rage and enjoys pleasuring generously breasted ladies, but he's still a buff, bald-headed, semi-naked Greek Adonis that isn't shy of ...

Could EA buy 2k Sports?

PS2 News from N4G | Madden NFL 07

PS2 - Madden NFL 07 - Could EA buy 2k Sports?

Electronic Arts would be wise to buy 2K Sports, or so says industry analyst Michael Pachter for Wedbush Morgan Securities. The suggestion came amid the move from Wedbush downgrading Take-Two Interactive's stock from "hold" to "sell" Friday. Take-Two Interactive owns 2K Sports as a subsiderary.

"It is clear to us that Take-Two's sports business would have tremendous value to EA, as it would give EA a monopoly on football, basketball, baseball, and hockey," Pachter said. His analysis concluded that EA might purchase 2K Sports for as much as $200 million dollars, but he noted, "It is arguable that EA would benefit by as much as $1 billion if it were to obtain an exclusive; this does not mean that it is willing to pay $1 billion."
