It appears that this care package glitch is causing quite an issue in the multiplayer ofModern Warfare 2. If you’ve come up against a team using it, you know how annoying it can be. You’re on a winning streak, kicking ass with your own skills and ability to shoot people, and then bam! You lose a match because someone is cheating. Aggravating at best. This exact thing happened to Andrew Reiner over atGame Informer, so he went ahead and tweeted at Infinity Ward’sRobert Bowling, asking him when it would be taken care of....

I am weirdly obsessed with the upcoming Jerry Bruckheimer producedPrince of Persiamovie. I don’t why, but I have a gut feeling that this could be the first videogame movie that is an honest-to-God hit. I am feeling aPirates of the Caribbeanvibe. That movie was based on a freakin’ridefor crying out loud and it turned out pretty great. True,casting a Caucasianas aPersianprince is a little odd, but stranger things have happened inHollywood....

The National Endowment for the Arts provides funding in the form of grants for a wide variety of creative endeavors. Now, the NEA has replaced its “Arts in Radio and Television” category of grants to a much more expansive “Arts in Media” one which includes digital games. Just so we’re clear, the United States government will now be funding the development of videogames. This is the most awesome thing I’ve heard all week....

Good morning, Destructoid. Toast yourself a bagel and have a look at the new extended trailer forFinal Fantasy Versus XIII. It’s like a blueberry bagel itself, really. Dark and crisp on the outside, but with a subtle promise of rich sweetness should you decide to dig in.The trailer opens with the phrase “This is a fantasy based on reality.” It’s interesting to ponder what that could mean, and you can clearly see in the video that the game features cars and buildings that look more like what you’d see outside your window than what you would in a typical Final Fantasy title....

Hudson has even revealed that we may see a demo for the highly-anticipated title, as well. “Stay tuned for news on demo plans in a few months,” he told afan on Twitter. No word on what the demo would consist of, but it’s likely the focus would be on the game’s expanded, faster-paced combat that Ihad a chance to see at E3....

Want to playMario Kart 64? Well, you’ll either have to wait or undust the Nintendo 64 because Nintendo hates you and decided to release the craptacular NES duo ofUrban ChampionandBaseballinstead. Yeah, that’s it. Not much else to say. We got burned. Nurse that New Year’s Eve hangover and play some real games instead.
