GTA IV Car Named After Game Violence Researcher

360 News from N4G | Grand Theft Auto IV

360 - Grand Theft Auto IV - GTA IV Car Named After Game Violence Researcher

GamePolitics:

"A hybrid car available for jacking in GTA IV is named after a well-known game violence researcher, Dr. Karen Dill of North Carolina's Lenoir-Rhyne College."

The "Karin Dilettante" is a sporty hybrid sedan that appears in Grand Theft Auto IV, the latest installment in the famously violent and sexualized series of video games. "Chicks love electronic gadgets" is the slogan in fake ads for the car.

Ms. Dill says she couldn't believe that Rockstar Games, the maker of Grand Theft Auto, had taken the trouble to name a car for her: "I was kind of like, whoa, they actually do care about video-game research."

Porn and Halo 3 file sharing

360 News from N4G | Halo 3

360 - Halo 3 - Porn and Halo 3 file sharing

Destructoid writes: "The depth of depravity on the Internet rarely surprises me anymore. What does surprise me is when vice slips through a seemingly secure system. Today, HushedCasket stumbled upon something particularly odd on Halo 3's file sharing system. It was an image of several topless women, instead of the typical Halo 3 picture.

The racy picture was uncovered while a user was browsing his recent players and subsequently their shared photos. The offender's profile and the picture can be found here for those so inclined to see it. The image is at the bottom of the menu, and is obviously not safe for work or minors.

My first question is, how does one circumvent the system and place this picture into the system? Secondly, is this practice very widespread? I imagine that Bungie will squash this as soon as they realize that people are abusing the system in this way, but this is certainly very odd. Have you guys seen anything like this before while playing Halo 3?"

Goshdangit! My NASCAR 09 Gamesave Done Blowed Up!

360 News from N4G | NASCAR 09

360 - NASCAR 09 - Goshdangit! My NASCAR 09 Gamesave Done Blowed Up!

Kotaku writes: What is going on at EA Sports? First came the manifold glitches and problems in NCAA 09, now we're seeing accounts of corrupt profiles forcing Xbox 360 racers to ditch their gamesaves and start all over.

After reaching a certain level of progress - the theory is cumulative laps driven, as it's struck gamers at differing points in their careers - the profile becomes corrupted and freezes the game right at the load screen. There is no other way to play the game except to delete the file and start all over. You can see a video of it here - but it takes 7 minutes to explain what was just said above. There is, however, a swell parakeet whistling in the background.

Of course, using a memory stick and disabling auto-save is one workaround. That doesn't help anyone who had no idea he'd bought a defective game and finds out about this after putting 20 or 30 hours worth of effort into it.

Reader S.H. (who tipped this bug to kotaku) says EA Sports is not responding to forum posts, emails or any calls for help (which the video helpfully points out). No wonder they're putting Peter Moore's face into a boxing game. That'll probably crash, too.

Seriously, EA Sports, why is it amateur hour all of a sudden? What the f**k is the matter with you people?

360 News from N4G | Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

360 - Mercenaries 2: World in Flames - E3 2008: Mercenaries 2 Lets You Blow Up In-Game Ads For Fun, Profit

Sean Hollister from GameCyte writes: Over three years in the making, and with just a single month before its commercial debut on August 31st, we thought we'd heard everything there was to hear about Mercenaries 2: World in Flames. The game's huge. It has online co-op. You can blow $#!^ up. But while exploring Pandemic Studios' next-gen playground of destruction at E3 2008, we noticed something new: lots and lots of billboards, with the word "Massive" embedded in placeholder text near the bottom of each.
