I had never even heard of it until I walked by a display in Gamestop the other day, and it was right next to Skylanders which was doing the same thing but looked better doing it.

I got Infinity for my son. It's like skylanders for a slightly younger target audience with the tox box mode from the last few toy story games added on top. It's good for small children/families, but that is about it.

So the Turtle beach XO Seven's aka the Official Xbox One TB headset is up for pre-order and starts shipping 3/14. Thats not the news though...the news is that, one would assume, since this headset ships with the Xbox One headset adapter in box, maybe said adapter will be available for retail purchase soon?

Weekend News Edition
According to the creator of Flappy Bird, the game will be removed from all app stores before the end of tomorrow.
While it wasn't stated, the official reason appears to be related to recent backlash with this time involving the amount of ad revenue generated by the game ($50,000 per day). The level of backlash has gotten to the point that dealing with the game is no longer worth the hassle for the creator.

LONDON — Convicted mass killer Anders Behring Breivik, the right-wing extremist who methodically hunted down and shot dozens of young people at a summer camp in Norway, has threatened to mount a hunger strike if his prison conditions don’t improve, including better video games.
Breivik, 35, sent a letter to media outlets saying he would starve himself to death if his demands weren’t met, the Associated Press reported Tuesday. Among those demands is access to a sofa and a bigger gym. Agence France-Presse said that, in a letter it received last week, Breivik described the present conditions of his confinement as “torture.” He enclosed a list of 12 demands he had sent to prison authorities in November, including easier communication with the outside world and a PlayStation 3 to replace the current PlayStation 2, because it offers more suitable games. “Other inmates have access to adult games while I only have the right to play less interesting kids’ games. One example is ‘Rayman Revolution,’ a game aimed at 3-year-olds,” Breivik complained to prison officials. “You’ve put me in hell ... and I won’t manage to survive that long,” he added. “You are killing me.” |
