In a year when most businesses tried to figure out how to stay alive, the video game industry thrived thanks to two things: great games, and you. So give yourself a pat on the back; your thirst for single-handedly saving the world with magic, guns, and fast thumbs has kept the gaming industry going strong when all else seems to be going wrong.
NextGen Player writes: While on the subway today reading the Toronto Metro newspaper I came across an EB Games full page ad for a pretty good PS3 deal in Effect from November 23 - December 13. If you purchase an 80GB PS3 ($399 + tax) they will also give you a free game out of a selection of five titles. Normally when I hear an offer like this my internal gamer radar tells me the free game will either be something crappy, like oh say Kung-Fu Panda or a game like Uncharted that is really good, but so last year. Amazingly enough, this deal has decided to be in defiance of gamer radar and is not entirely full of suck.
After many suggestions from fans, EA has finally released an all-new patch for NHL 09 which is quite impressive/large. EA Sports Developer David Littman has all the details.
It's every gamers' dream: win money by playing video games. Despite gaming's newfound mainstream acceptance, most people--especially those in the United States--do not recognize gaming as a legitimate competitive activity. In a country where card games like Texas Hold 'em have recently exploded, turning 21-year-olds into online superstars, it's no stretch to assume that more gaming mediums deserve a similar place in public attention.
Xbox Fanboy writes: Sports fans, grab the tissues because the tears are about to start flowing. Users on the official EA Sports forum are reporting widespread disc read error issues with NHL 09 -- over time. Many users are reporting the popular hockey franchise works as advertised during the initial play through but eventually crashes after loading saved modes or regular games once the Xbox 360 reboots. While EA has yet to release an official statement regarding the problem users have found success with two bandaid solutions -- which point to cache problems in the game. According to the EA Forum users clearing the cache of the Xbox 360 and disabling the auto-save feature in NHL 09 may help fix the problem but as gamers play more of the game the issue returns.
