As a very close follower of trends within the gaming media space, one particular interesting trend has stuck out to me over the past week: Kotaku, a property of the blog group Gawker Media, has gone out of their way to mention and include everything related to MTV. Now, it could be coincidence that MTV and its related media properties are particularly hot this week, but sometimes the phrase “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” comes out to actually be true.

Everyday this week there has been an increased focus on MTV and Viacom properties. With guest […]

Team DC (Don’t Care) breezed through a Sierra and GameStop 5v5 World in Conflict tourney that netted them a free trip to Los Angeles and a host of other prizes. The crew took on TwentyID in a best of three final yesterday in Los Angeles and quickly dispatched their opponents by winning the first two rounds.

“We had no problem at all getting through,” said Team DC Captain Blake Midstokke. “The great thing about World in Conflict is that it’s not really about individual skill, but really more about team skill. We spent a lot of time building […]

In an attempt to add further polish to their anticipated co-op title, the folks at EA and Army of Two have decided to push the game from its scheduled 2007 release time to the first quarter of 2008. Army of Two Executive Producer Alan Tascan spoke with 1UP about the decision to delay this exciting next-gen title:
The announcement is that we’re pushing the game to Q1 of next year and the reason is based on the feedback we’ve had internally and externally. We just want to add extra polish to the game — I think everyone […]



halostopsmall.jpgBungie has sent out an official warning to all potential cheaters in Halo 3 and now it seems anyone and everyone could be subject to a certain level of ban hammer usage. The devs posted this general statement:
There are those of you doing things you shouldn’t be in Halo 3. Some of you have gotten a little too famous for your own good. This ain’t a church and there is no redemption or salvation once you have been judged. Apologies are now officially too late to save you.

The storm approaches.

Love, Bungie
Looking […]

Warhawk developer Dylan Jobe posted what can easily be described as a message from God for addicted Warhawk players with the announcement of a very important rundown of fixes to an already wonderful game. The main things to be concerned with: stat stability and getting rid of stat padders and general deviants. Jobe said it best on the official PlayStation blog:
The v1.1 patch makes the world a much happier place … ok, maybe not the world, but at least the Warhawk universe
Check out the full rundown after the jump.
