Going to pick this one up for sure, there was a movie in the 70's where they shrunk these dudes down and shot them into the human body to fight a virus : This game totally reminds of that and I always wanted a game like that.

Fantastic Voyage?  They made an Atari 2600 game based on that movie, and it's one of my favorite Atari games.

Yeah thats it, I never played that one. I think I had Colecovision by that time. Happy

Sony comments on lawsuit against Bridgestone and Wildcat Creek


Senior director of corporate communications Dan Race provided a comment to GamesBeat. Race said that “Use of the Kevin Butler character to sell products other than those from PlayStation misappropriates Sony’s intellectual property, creates confusion in the market, and causes damage to Sony.”

“Sony Computer Entertainment America filed a lawsuit against Bridgestone and Wildcat Creek, Inc. on September 11. The claims are based on violations of the Lanham Act, misappropriation, breach of contract and tortious interference with a contractual relationship. We invested significant resources in bringing the Kevin Butler character to life and he’s become an iconic personality directly associated with PlayStation products over the years. Use of the Kevin Butler character to sell products other than those from PlayStation misappropriates Sony’s intellectual property, creates confusion in the market, and causes damage to Sony.”

The more I think about it, the more I wonder if Sony really had their ass covered or not. Tt will all depend on what's written in the contract, but Sony's response makes me wonder if they screwed up. They keep saying the "Kevin Butler character" in their press release, but the problem was he was never introduced as Kevin Butler in the commercial.  When it comes down to advertising and the use of an actor playing similar parts there's actually lots of precedence out there that favors the actor every time. If Sony discontinued the Kevin Butler character in their ads they may not have much of a leg to stand on. If it comes down to the details of the actor's non-compete, which are notoriously difficult to enforce in court, it may end up getting thrown out. Regardless though, I have a feeling this will just get settled out of court and as of next week we'll never hear about this again.

Though the fun thing will be to bet whether or not Kevin Butler shows up again.

Yeah, he wasn't playing the Kevin Butler character, nor was he advertising the Wii directly. He was in a tire commercial, which happened to have a promotion for a free Wii console. I think Sony is a bit out of line here.

Also he's been in Bridgestone commercials before and I'm pretty sure that he's also been in them prior to being Kevin Butler.
