On June 12th, Morgan Creek filed suit against Nintendo for the use of a song called “You’re So Cool” from the movieTrue Romance. It was used in a commercial for the gamePaper Mario: The Thousand Year Doorfor the GameCube almost half a decade ago....

Q-Games’ Dylan Cuthbert says he doubts the studio will make aPixelJunk Shooter 3at this point — he would say that, wouldn’t he?...

According to the latest issue ofOXM, fans of the magazine will soon find a digital counterpart on the Xbox Live Marketplace. Available sometime this month (which I can’t personally confirm due to a sick Xbox 360), the online mag will mirror the print version and include some extra interactive content that just can’t be done in print — such as gamer pics, themes, videos, and galleries. As expected, exclusive game demos will still be the focal point ofOXM Digital, and will be available for purchase for a mere 200 Microsoft Points ($2....

He reckons that the volume of top-tier titles hitting shelves this year will reverse the ailing fortunes of the industry.

Well, you might as well say so. I’m not sure what I find more hilarious, the slogan itself or the strategically placed mushroom. I’m trying to decide what my reaction would be if I removed a boy’s pants and found these awaiting me. Somehow I don’t envision the sexy shared laugh, then on to the boot knockin’. There’s some dorky things that are sexy, and then there’s some dorky things that should never have anything to do with sex....

TheKillzone 2creators have brushed off such complaints, goingso far as to saythat the PS3 is easier to get to grips with.
