NetEase Counts Down to Starcraft II Beta?
StarcraftWire.net reports that NetEase, the Blizzard-appointed distributor of StarCraft 2, Diablo 3 and WoW in China are holding a countdown for some game with graphics very similar to Blizzards.
Combined with Blizzard representatives in China engaging the Chinese fansite community in the last week, it seems likely to be a countdown for the Chinese StarCraft 2 beta. There's currently no official information when the Beta might start in the West.

15 Games That Won't Slip to 2010
"We recently listed 21 games that were expected to be released in 2009 that look like slipping into 2010, did you catch it? If so you're possibly wondering about other big games coming out in 2009 and whether they too will be shafted into the next decade. Perhaps we can relax those fears for you: here are games that you may fear will slip, but that are actually a good bet to make their 2009 targets?"from gameplayer

"Well, it's that time of year again. E3'09 is getting ready to unveil what the gaming landscape will look like for another year, and with it shaping up to be bigger than ever, I started to notice something. Almost every game I'm looking forward to seeing in E3'09 is a sequel.
Mass Effect 2, Modern Warfare 2, Uncharted 2, Final Fantasy XIII, Bioshock 2, Assassin's Creed 2, it's just getting crazy. Of course if a game is awesome you'd definitely want a sequel for more of what made that game great, which is why I hate articles that rant on about why sequels are evil.
However, it begs the question: how does a developer keep their series alive and successful?"

Twiggy Game: Will Videogaming's Future Look Like Boardgaming's Past?
Greg Costikyan @ Gamasutra: "Twiggy Game was published in 1967. If you don't know who Twiggy was, she was a extremely famous model in the 1960s, remarkable for both slenderness and flat-chestedness, representative of the Mod look, and occasional participant in Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In.
For what godforsaken reason am I discussing Twiggy Game today? To make a point: the danger of lack of culture.
What do I mean by "lack of culture?" Just this: with novels, cinema, music and every other form of art, we have long-standing traditions of criticism, analysis, reviews, and discussion. People know something of the history of the forms in which they are interested, something of the process of creation, and over time develop individual aesthetics, ideas by which they judge the merits, or lack thereof, of a particular product."

Redefining Casual For The Hardcore
James Portnow @ Gamasutra: "To date the 'casual' market has targeted the 'casual' gamer -- but the question arises: "Do the 'hardcore' need casual games as well?"
Y'all know I get uppity about definitions, but here's one term really does need some defining: "Casual Game". Who knows what "Casual Game" means these days? Unfortunately, I'm not really qualified to make a sweeping definition of "Casual Games"(I know there are some guys at PopCap that have put a lot of thought into this, and I encourage them to share those thoughts with the rest of us!) but I'll give you a little bit of the reasoning that led me to pen this.
This year, Braid won the Interactive Achievement Award for best casual game -- but by the definition I've been running with, it's not a casual game. So I started looking at media use of the phrase "casual games." It's all over the place, but I've really only seen one constant: at this point, casual games are defined in the popular media as "non-violent games," and we've begun to adopt this definition."

Morality in gaming: How to do it right, and wrong
Gamer Limit writes: "You've come to a moral crossroad, one leads to the path of virtuous, self-righteous glory. The other, a dismal path of thievery, death and destruction. Only one may be chosen, which do you follow? A superb concept for nearly any genre of video game.
A concept, however, that has never truly been accomplished. Morality is not as simple as good or evil, an aspect that seems to have been lost over the past 10 years since the release of BioWare masterpiece, the original Baldur's Gate (and subsequent sequels). Even though there were more specifics tied to your choices in BG, a true "moral compass" feature has yet to be done correctly."

Pachter: Wii Software Sales Decline 'Disconcerting'
The fact that Wii software sales were down 26% in March when the hardware installed base has doubled in the last year is somewhat alarming.
Responding to the worse-than-expected March video game sales, Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter talked a bit about the Wii's software sales. While the tough comparison with last March's Super Smash Bros. Brawl did make it a challenging month, he felt that Wii software sales still could have fared better.
It's a funny week in the Japanese Hardware Sales this time, but not funny 'Ha Ha,' more like funny 'Wait until December this year.' Why is that? Well, this week, the PS3 sales in Japan spiked by an incredible margin45 826 units to be exact, ending the week on an incredible 62 527 units.

Yes, go ahead, tell me I'm crazy. I know I'm crazy. Why else would I be doing this? But I know there are a lot of you out there that like spending time with Aperture Science, so I figured I'd share this with you."

Mini Console Wars: Why Does Sony Lose Again?
It seems clear that even if you hate the PS3 and loathe the PSP, it is impossible to say they are actually bad products.
Even the most hardened hater of all things Sony would really be stretching the truth if they were to say that Sony has completely failed in the areas of hand held and console hardware. In fact the PSP seems to actually be a clear winner in terms of superior equipment, but even in this area Sony cannot compete in terms of sales.
So, if it is not the hardware, then what on earth is going wrong up there at Sony?

GamesAreEvil Comic News: "Man vs. Child.. Man Wins"
Many may have heard of the man beating his child for doing poorly in a video game, but GrE writer Daniel Mitchel has a special way of telling the news, through a comic that he personally drew.
GrE writes, "The named and shamed father, Terry Taulbee was said to have given the child a right spanking after he "became upset when the boy didn't play well in a video game". For those with a lack of imagination, we have created a reconstruction of how these events may have played out.."

Piracy "an impossible battle" for devs, invest in "game streaming"
Acclaim's Dave Perry has said there's no way the publishing giants or development studios can ever hope to beat software piracy in the industry.
The recent jailing of the Pirate Bay founders merely gives "overt" practices pause for thought, but changes nothing. Cloud-based servers could offer "dramatically cheaper choice".

Why it's Good for Sony to Lose this Console Generation
HyDRo-X1 from Hiphopgamershow.com Writes "The console war is brewing up to be one of the worst in terms of the raw fight itself. It's no secret that Sony likes to win, but then again who doesn't? There are currently three consoles in the market as of now, each with their own uniqueness which makes the consoles what they are. The profit a console makes isn't really what matters but the ones who are leading the sales chart since it's the ego they're trying to hurt on their competitors, that and bragging rights. Sony in my mind is the least fit to win this generation in my opinion. There are currently only two consoles I can think of that are best competitors to the number one spot, but one more than the other and I will explain in a bit."

Chinese StarCraft 2 Beta Starts in May?

Of course, the items CEO Dan DeMatteo thinks are overpriced happen to be consoles, which don't have much of a retail markup -- so dropping the price on them would only give consumers more to spend on stuff with bigger markups.

Study: game addiction is a mental disorder
1 in 12 young gamers display same symptoms of gambling addiction...
A new US study says one in twelve (8.5%) of young gamers age 8-18 display telling signs of being addicted to gaming in line with the American Psychiatric Association's list of symptoms of gambling addiction.
Meanwhile co-author of Grand Theft Childhood:The Surprising Truth About Violent Video Games, Harvard's Dr. Cheryl Olson said:
"The concern here is labeling normal childhood behaviors as "pathological" and "addicted." The author [Iowa State University's Prof. Douglas Gentile] is repurposing questions used to assess problem gambling in adults; however, lying to your spouse about blowing the rent money on gambling is a very different matter from fibbing to your mom about whether you played video games instead of starting your homework."

Top Developer Confirms Nobody Is Using PS3 To Potential.
Recently the author traveled to see the preview demo of a hugely anticipated game coming out later this year. Once he had viewed the demo (which was interestingly given on Xbox, usually developers choose PC) the author got some one on one time with the technical guy to talk about the development of the game.
The author is not claiming to be a tech head in any way but was interested in what he had been reading about developers not using the PS3 to it's full capacity.
As these guys had just developed an all new engine it seemed a fair question to ask him.
Deep Silver plans to release Sacred 2 for PS3 and Xbox 360 on 5th June. The console versions have been a long time coming; Sacred 2 launched on PC late last year.

The European open internet is under imminent threat
The internet as we know it is at risk because of proposed new EU rules going through end of April. Under the proposed new rules, broadband providers will be legally able to limit the number of websites you can look at, and to tell you whether or not you are allowed to use particular services. It will be dressed up as 'new consumer options' which people can choose from. People will be offered TV-like packageswith a limited
number of options for you to access.
NOTEI've posted this in any section that relates to the internet (PS3, XBOX360 etc) as this essentially could affect them if this law is passed. I urge everybody to contact there MP's, EU representatives etc (the website will help with this) to stop this potentially internet killing law

Special Red Button Resolution Passed 552 votes to 12
Remember the big red button that would allow parents to immediately disable their child's video game console? Well, it's been through the European parliament and returned with 552 votes in its favour.
At least, the 'red button' was inclusive in a European non-legislative resolution concerning video games, titled "Protection of consumers, in particular minors, in respect of the use of video games."
The red button was the brain child of East Midlands Euro MP Glenis Willmott, who although highlighted the positives of video games, felt parents needed a way to immediately disable a console or PC in case their children were playing something they shouldn't.
The idea was submitted to the European Parliament and, along with other proposals.

Why Video Game piracy is killing itself.
Lately I've been considering piracy, no, not the high seas plundering and looting, Jack Sparrow kind, but the kind where people are downloading game releases via torrent and other means. What these people don't seem to comprehend is that they are, in effect, bringing about their own destruction. Not by the way you might think, as in being caught or prosecuted against, but by the might of the games companies simply making it pointless.

Sony's Greatest Failing of this Generation
Xbox 360 smashes Wii and PS3 in battle for gamer affections
Sony's Greatest Failing of this Generation
Andrew Weymes of The Nightly Gamer writes: "Without a doubt, Sony stumbled through their first couple of years with the Playstation 3. Hyped exclusives weren't reaching the popularity that they should whether it be among critics or the gaming community. The high price point wasn't helping anything either and with the Xbox 360 offering more well received exclusives and a better online network, things weren't looking great for a company that dominated the console wars last generation with the Playstation 2. However, most of this is in the past and Playstation 3 loyalists have had a lot to smile about as of late. The Playstation 3 has an amazing first party line-up of games and the quality of multiplatform games are up to par with those found on the Xbox 360. Things are certainly looking up for the Playstation 3 but there is one area in which it falls short when compared to the Xbox 360."

LittleBigPlanet has Failed Its Main Goal
While LittleBigPlanet has been well received critically and has sold respectively, six months after its release as it actually achieved what it set out to? This gameplayer article explores the notion that the utopian online community of avid level designers LittleBigPlanet hoped to harbour does not exist and that ultimately, it has failed to achieve its prime objective.
"Simply put, LittleBigPlanet isn't really the Everlasting Gobstopper we expected it would become, and at this stage it might be impossible to rescue from the precipice. It was Media Molecule's intention to rebrand LittleBigPlanet as platform, as opposed to a videogame, but at this stage it's pretty easy to argue that movement has been a failure."

Ben Dutka: "When I first heard that Squaresoft and Enix would be merging, I glanced over at my PlayStation collection of RPGs. Along with all the Final Fantasy titles, I saw the likes of Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve, Front Mission 3, Legend of Mana, Threads of Fate, Chrono Cross, and Star Ocean: The 2nd Story. Enix only did the latter, but hey, it was an awesome RPG and Squaresoft...well, they were the masters. Plain and simple."
Why does 2K even bother with their baseball franchise anymore?
Sony's San Diego Studios can do no wrong with The Show. This is the premiere sports franchise on the PS3, and the rare case where limited competition hasn't hindered the game at all.

New Resident Evil 5 Trailer Features the Muppets
GamesAreEvil writes, "When I think of matches made in heaven, I don't exactly imagine fuzzy Muppet characters fitting into the Resident Evil universe. That said, through the glorious power of the internet, these worlds have been melded into one of the most amusing pieces of satire that I have seen in quite some time. Just imagine Ernie busting down a door, shotgun at the ready, looking to save his buddy Burt and kick some ass at the same time.
As off the wall as it sounds, this is a very amusing look into creative uses for game assets. There are even voiceovers that have been pulled from the game, that are put to good use telling the amusing, albeit brief, story synopsis. Be sure of one thing before you watch this trailer, make sure the kids are in the other room. I can only imagine this ruining the childhood of the impressionable masses across the globe.

Video Games Are The New Rock 'n' Roll
Daniel of Gamer Limit writes: "...it's very easy to see comparisons merely by replacing the word "music" with "games". Games, while growing in a far more organic manner than popular music, are now encroaching further than ever into the mainstream, public consciousness being forced into a realisation that they do actually exist outside the realms of geeks and social outcasts. And the resulting attitudes are disturbingly similar with that of those half a century ago. Elvis Presley was to music what Grand Theft Auto has been for games..."
