I've got a free voucher for Assassins Creed Brotherhood for PC with my graphics card.
The problem is, Ubisofts online service lets you download a game once. Even if you buy it with money. Unless you pay £3.49, then you can download it for up to 2 years... ONCE. Fuck Ubi. |

MS need people in the US to test outthe new dashboard and disc copy protection. They need several thousand testers so the chances of getting in are good and they'll give you a free copy of Halo:Reach to test:

Sony officially axes their Playstation Rewards program for now and could end up canceling the entire thing as of today. The news comes arpund the same time Microsoft's announcement of starting a new "freebie" program and Nintendo's start of the U.S. Play Coins program.
Rumors range from Sony redoing the entire program to better compete with Nintendo Club and other free programs to dropping the program because it was getting too expensive to keep (ex. paid vacations to gaming conventions and studios). The forums for Sony are split between making the program only for paid members (Playstation Plus) while others want non-paying members to have the same access to the program. Sony's original policy was to allow everyone to join but preference to paying users for membership. http://kotaku.com/#!5786588/sony-nix...ewards-program -------------------------------------------------------------- Nintendo confirms the plans for the moment do not include adding 3D for their next console. A few reasons would be due to costs for both the consumer and production being too high and they want the 3DS enough time to have the "3D" features as a selling point. Nintendo's main goal is to have 3D without the glasses for their consoles and at the moment its not practical and too expensive for their style of games and development. |

It would make sense for the rewards program to be for paying costumers.

It would if it was purchase based like Club Nintendo but I think the way Sony's program worked involved Sony Home and stuff that didn't require purchases. It also seemed to be a mix between Club Nintendo and the free betas/giveaways Microsoft does every so often.

More details concerning Microsoft's updating of their disc format will give 1 GB extra of disc space for developers to use but the added protection might not be as strong as expected.
The extra GB in space appears to be coming from the video partition of the restricted part of the disc. The extra space ends up giving developers about 15% more space to work with in their games. Not even a day after the announcement, a hacker managed to get info on the tools and setup Microsoft will be using for the new protection. The new protection uses a lot more checks and loops but on a modified setup of the current protection system. http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/8...acy-detection/ |

The Captain America video looks like it could be a good game, but the Thor one doesn't look all that good to me. Live action actor Thor just doesn't look right in a game, maybe I'm just resistant to change, but it would sit a lot better with me if they stuck to the art style characters for the game. I mean I realize it's a movie tie in and such, but you can have a standalone Thor game come out and not feature the actor.

You certainly could, but movie tie-ins are pretty much protocol at this point. There will certainly be alt attire with classic costumes in both games, if that makes you feel better.
The games have bigger issues than attire anyway. Good luck to them. |

I mean the video for Cap at least looks interesting and it looks like it has a little variance to the gameplay at points. Thor just looks...meh. I mean I'm certainly willing to give it a chance, but the first impression it's given me isn't all that good. |

No, but I was railed for daring to announce that last year so maybe another poster can tell you about the game. I played about an hour of it and found the combat cute but the whole game a misfiring.
I'm mostly just butthurt the series isn't open-world anymore. |

That makes sense.
I was looking at it, and parts of it seemed interesting, like the Noir section and 2099 section, but the other 2 storyarcs seemed way too similar for my taste. Also I was just checking the achievements just to get a sample of some of what some of the missions would be like and I see they're timed. That kills it for me, I like to take my time and explore the levels and I doubt you'd be able to do that and still get the "platinums" as they call them. |

Sony Online Entertainment confirms massive layoffs are occurring at 3 of their US studios as part of the restructuring that started earlier in the year when SOE also has layoffs at 3 of their UK studios. The news comes after the recent release of Free Realms and DC Universe Online.
Some of the fired workers will be moved to other Sony studios or higher priority projects but the majority will just be let go. These are not the usual QA and testers that are done by most studios after a game is released but the core developer teams. The Agency MMO has been canceled due to lack of funds and manpower while the sales from DC Universe Online doesn't appear to be good when compared to the amount of money spent to get the DC character deals and development costs. Traditionally, Sony has a bad history of maintaining and finishing most of their MMO projects with the exception of the Everquest series. http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/8...im-the-agency/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Silicon Knights lawsuit against Epic Games set to go to court pretty soon with SK arguing Epic Games purposely gave inferior versions of their Unreal Engine development kits to paying studios as a way of making sure games from Epic looked the best with the engine.

Nintendo being rumored to have another massive surprise E3 showing with a lot of games to be revealed for a late 2011 release date (similar to Kirby's Epic Yarn last year).
The rumor is based on the UK branch of Nintendo saying that there are big plans for the 2nd half of the year with games and news. This comes along with another report confirming Xenoblade will be released outside of Japan for Europe later this year to early 2012 and a TBA for a US/Canada release date. Also leaked was Dragon Quest X is nearing completion on development for the Wii and could arrive later this year or early 2012. As of now just the new Kirby game and Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword are the big names for the 2nd half of the year on the Wii. http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/8...wii-this-year/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Telltale Games announces the first episode for the Back to the Future episodic series is now free for PC and Mac users. |

New details for Ninja Gaiden III confirm multiplayer and a "Dark Ryu" character in the game.
The new mulitplayer and gameplay changes are meant to let more people be able to enjoy the game while at the same time keeping some of the hard aspects the series is known for. The "Dark Ryu" character was hinted as revealing more of Ryu's past that could change him from a purely good guy to a much darker hero for the upcoming game. The game is set for Xbox 360 and PS3 with no release date announced as of yet. http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/8...layer-planned/ ------------------------------------------------------------- Rare boasts that they and most developers have only used around 10-15% of Kinect's capabilities on the Xbox 360. It appears Rare is going to incorporate some of the hacks done by PC users and modders for mainly interface and operating a Kinect device rather than using it for games. Only online modes has been confirmed as stuff Rare will add to their future Kinect titles. |
