So Steven Fuck-tard Gerrard was cleared of assault today by a jury.

The only one of seven defendents not to be found guilty.

What a joke, there is video footage of him laying punches into a guy sitting on a chair. So fame is a free pass for criminal activity now. Great going Liverpudlian jury.

i can't tell you how outraged i am at this.  that piece of shit scumbag thug.  it seems that fame is indeed a free pass to be thug now.  

he got away with boxing punching a guy senseless with his scumbag mates at a club the same way he gets away with his two footed tackles on the pitch week in week out.  and this is supposedly the best english player who some call to be captain of the national team?  dirty dirty scumbag

I wouldn't mind, but the video footage shows him walking up to a guy sitting on a stool, his mate elbows the man in the face and then Gerrard follows up with a flurry of punches.

Then Gerrards says it was self defence? When the video shows the guy just sitting on a stool before anyone lays into him.

Such bullshit here:

The Liverpool jury accepted his explanation.

Gerrard was the only one of seven defendants to be cleared over the incident - five of his friends who were there on the night earlier admitted affray, while another admitted threatening behaviour.

The six are due to be sentenced at a later date.

So convienently the captain of Liverpools football team is acquitted by a Liverpool jury, oh but everyone else there was guilty.

 To be fair if everyone from Liverpool was found guilty of affray then the whole city would be in gaol.

Updating now, WTH is this Halo pic about?

Are they shooting a mutant motorbike?

Okay finished updating for now.

Seriously check these out:

Graphics are great, getting a sort of Captain Commando vibe. Wish it had online co-op with wii speak though.

“We expect Nintendo to sustain [their] competitive advantage by introducing a high definition version of the Wii, perhaps as early as the end of 2010, in order to convert its large installed base into true ‘next-generation’ households. Of course, it’s just speculation, but I see them having two consoles in the market at once, more like PS2 and PS3. They will likely try to get consumers to trade up to the Wii Plus while still selling the Wii for $100 cheaper.” - Wedbush Morgan analyst, Michael Pachter

I dont know what Cavia are thinking, but there is SO much downtime in Darkside Chronicles you're going to be twiddling your thumbs alot.

Dead Space Extraction looks better once you can look beyond the RE trappings. Overkill still reigns supreme. Did anyone get it at Amazon for $20 yet?

Cavia isn't that good are they? They made tons of games, but never made a AAA game before. They're titles have always been slightly above average.

I still enjoyed a few of their titles like Drakengard 2 and....Bullet Witch. Yes, I enjoyed Bullet Witch.

So I've played about 3 hrs of Overlord Dark Legend, I got it for one third of the retail price.

It's pretty good so far, on par with the reviews.

The first thing that hits you is the graphics.

Screens don't do the game justice. I started playing on an HDTV which normally rapes most wii games, but even on the huge panel the game looked great and if experience is anything to go by it will look 20% better on the old SDTV.

The castle area is very well polished, the game has a lovely art style, great lighting and texture detail. It reminds me of Oddworld Strangers wrath only better looking. In terms of charm and character, the game is almost on par with Little Kings Story, the voice acting helps alot which is often hilarious.

Unfortunately once you hit the first open area things take a turn for the worse, the frame rate chugs quite badly, its not a game breaker but its noticible and the polished game you thought you had turns into a not so polished game. Some shadows are like pixel shadows, you can see the squares, its pretty bad and there is some noticible pop up.

Thankfully outside of the first couple of open areas it has seemed to go back down to steady and things are looking lovely again.

Nicely though there is tons of descrutability in the environment and everything you smash is animated like a crash in a Warner Bros cartoon with nice attention to detail. It's just fun to smash things with your axe.

Minion AI seems clever, they rarely get stuck on scenary but its easily remedied.

One problem you have is that you cannot save where you want to and when the game does save it does it pretty innocuously so you dont know what is saved and what isn't. Hitting the off button is often a leap of faith. The main complaint is that the game is too easy, this hasn't bothered me so far, I don't like ball busting difficulty in games so this is fine for me.

But the gameplay is pretty simple so far. The pointer reigns supreme and its easy to order your troops about. Nicely you can really take advantage of it. I pointed at a spawn gate miles away and popped a minion fresh out of his hole. It's slowly adding features though so the gameplay could open up and get more complex. I'm only through about 15% of the world map.

IGN says:

"Collect enough of that somewhat-elusive loot though and you'll experience the game's real depth. Cash can be traded in for weapon upgrades, new armor (which changes on the actual character model), and level-ups for your minion groups. While adventuring through the world minions will also grab random objects and wear them as hats or use for weapons, and that's pretty awesome to see."

At the moment its very simple, you trudge through some nice and some not so nice looking areas, generally wafting your minions towards things with a wave of the remote and watching as they deal with things.

It's not brilliant or anything, but pleasent. One thing you can be sure of as its the same team, Silent Hill Shattered Memories is going to look pretty special visually. The darkness will mean the game will avoid the pop up and the interiors and added experience from this game means the game shouldn't chug.

Otherwise apart from the framerate all IGNs issues with camera and minion AI haven't happened to me at all.

If you're in europe and can take advantage of the super great zavvi.co.uk deal I would snap it up for £12.

I thought Umbrella Chronicles was pretty good.

That was from them as well? That's cool. Like I said, they're not bad. They seem to do a lot of collaborations on established franchises.
