Same in Holland most game cost 50+, but Endless Ocean is 30 here, but isn't the UK more expensive than that?

Endless Ocean launched at a bargain price. It's around £16-18 over here that's around $40 which is really cheap for the UK. It's a great game at a great price. Everyone needs to own this game. And where is the Edgecrusher with my impressions damnit?!

BTW is there anyway to skip the GTA IV Packie Heat mission? I hate it.

i ended up buying 3 copies of endless ocean, 2 of which i gave away as presents.  i deserve a cookie like that one iga got

WTF Ubisoft!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just watched the madworld trailer. please tell me that is not how the music is going to be?

Ubisoft in Bizaare Monkey Experiment!

by Gamingeek

In an uncommon act of generosity and bravery, Ubisoft have unveiled their latest classic title for the best selling Nintendo Wii console. The experimental game: Monkey Madness allows psychiatric patients, girls and midgets to dress up various apes and monkeys in a litany of outifts. Yves Guillemot described the game at Leipzig today as "Better than eating Monkey poo", when questioned the frisky frenchmen then admitted to having done this in real life.

As a concession to an ever growing cry from hardcore gamers, the developers are adding -in addition to- sailor, firemen and policemen outfits; costumes based on Hard Gay dominatrix outfits, bearded hippy outfits and crotchless pants.

PETA are currently assesing the impact of this game on the Monkey population amid allegations of animal abuse at Ubisoft's Montreal office. Wii owners meanwhile are salivating over this very 'special' game.

See this is what I would do for the Gaming Reporter/Planet newspaper. It took me around 6 minutes, we can stick a funny pic in. We don't need to sit at the internet checking sites for hours on end. We can scrap the schedule, having people working on small articles with word limits and have a private board where we can let people know the stories we are working on.

It looks like a DS game.

You want a news posting war, thats what you will get.

(For real check out that new LBP trailer, its fucking mindblowing awesome!!)

Nintendo's Wii Faces Complaints by Hillcrest Labs (Update2)

By Susan Decker

Aug. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Nintendo Co., the maker of the top- selling video-game console, was sued by a Maryland electronics laboratory that claims its motion-control inventions are being used in the Wii system.

Hillcrest Laboratories Inc. seeks to block imports of the Wii and Wii remotes, according to a complaint filed today with the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington. Hillcrest also filed a civil suit in federal court in Greenbelt, Maryland.

Three of the Hillcrest patents are for motion-control technology and a fourth is for graphical interface software used on the television. Kyoto, Japan-based Nintendo makes the Wii, a machine that plays games by swinging a motion-sensing controller like a bat, tennis racket or other item.

Rockville-based Hillcrest said it licenses its motion- control technology, called Freespace, to Logitech International SA, Universal Electronics Inc. and other companies. The graphic interface technology, called Home, is licensed to companies that Hillcrest declined to name.

``While Hillcrest Labs has a great deal of respect for Nintendo and the Wii, Hillcrest Labs believes that Nintendo is in clear violation of its patents and has taken this action to protect its intellectual property rights,'' the company said in a statement.

ITC Can Block Imports

The lawsuit, which seeks cash, is likely to be put on hold while the ITC case proceeds. The ITC has the power to block imports of products found to infringe U.S. patents. It typically agrees to investigate complaints and issues a decision in about 15 months.

The Wii is the best-selling game console in the U.S., with 555,000 units sold during the month of July alone. Nintendo said the Wii accounts for 49 percent of the console market, citing researcher NPD Group Inc.

Nintendo has had other patent-infringement complaints filed against it as the Wii gained popularity. The company is facing a ban on the Wii Classic controller, which is sold separately from the Wii system, unless it can convince an appeals court to overturn a $21 million verdict won by Anascape Ltd. of Tyler, Texas.

Lawsuits over the Wii or Nintendo's other products are pending in federal courts in Texas, Pittsburgh, Chicago and Wilmington, Delaware.

The case is In the Matter of Video Game Machines, complaint 2631, U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington. The civil suit is Hillcrest Laboratories Inc. v. Nintendo Co., 08cv2199, U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland (Greenbelt).

Game of the Year 2008

Fixed!

It's this part that turns me off to that game: "harvest moon/RTS/RPG hybrid."

I don't like RPGs or the Harvest Moon games. I also only like very few RTS games; in fact, I think Pikmin is the only RTS-type game that I do like.

Lick my suculent, sweaty balls.
