| The PC piracy crisis is "overblown" says Penumbra's Tom Jubert | |
| Posted: 05.09.2008 06:13 by Technet2k | Comments: 5 |
 In a blog article for Edge Online, game writer Tom Jubert offers his take on the 'crisis' of PC piracy. He's not all that convinced by Crytek's Cevat Yerli and his statistics.
He explains that some of these figures and hysteria don't give a "true impact of piracy on the PC", mainly because some markets just aren't that big to start with. | |

| Vivendi UK is no more, Activision-Blizz shuffle staff elsewhere | |
| Posted: 05.09.2008 05:36 by Technet2k | Comments: 2 |
 The UK office for Vivendi is but an empty shell now as some are let go while others get their new marching orders at Activision's Stockley Park facility.
Those who were made redundant all practically "chose that option," Activision Blizzard's UK managing director Andrew Brown tells MCV. Ghostbusters still in limbo. | |

 Date pushbacks are usually the norm but EA has announced yet another change to the schedule bringing sci-fi horror survivor Dead Space even earlier.
It'll be available on Xbox 360 and PS3 the 14th with the PC version on the 20th. Let's hope then that all this finishing ahead of schedule delivers a stellar game. | |

| World of Slayer Buffy to kick butt in "ground-breaking MMOG" | |
| Posted: 04.09.2008 06:20 by Technet2k | Comments: 1 |
 Yes, that's right. 20th Century Fox and The Multiverse Network are sharpening their stakes, polishing crosses and, erm, other Slayer related preparations.
The game will apparently be available in full 3D or as a 2D Flash game, where both will be able to interact with one another. Beta testing begins this year. Five by five. | |

| Death Track: Resurrection Demo #2 | |
| Posted: 04.09.2008 06:13 by Jamie | Comments: 0 |
 505 Games have released another demo for Death Track to give players a taste of this extreme racer. The demo includes two cities – Bangkok and Paris – and three unique upgradeable cars to choose from. We aren't sure what difference this demo has to the first demo that was released for Death Track, although we did contact 505 Games to find out but they were not sure either. This new one is 100mb bigger, so it probably has extended content. | |
