Snack Armies Wage War in Mobile Game

wowgoldeu — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 05:36:06 +0000

Japanese snack maker Tohato is making its customers choose product sides in a mobile multiplayer online battle.

To help market two of its new spicy snacks, “Tyrant Habanero Burning Hell Hot” and “Satan Jorquia Bazooka Deadly Hot,” the company has launched a mobile game that pits two armies — Habanero Evil Army against Satan Jorquia Evil Army — in a war to decide which flavor will rule them all.

To participate, you scan the barcode found on the bags with your mobile phone — pretty much all mobile phones in Japan are equipped with barcode readers these days — which then puts you in the army of your snack. Then, you can recruit others (helps you gain ranks), face off in various battlefields — “Ouch, the City of Anal Torture” anyone? — and receive SMS news alerts informing you of the latest wartime developments.

Although I haven’t tasted these particular flavors, I’ve had some of their past snacks — they’re sort of like Ringalos — and yes, they’re pretty damn hot.

We’d like to pretend that the number one thing that happened this week wasn’t the ۶۹th episode of the Xbox ۳۶۰ Fancast, but we just can’t. It’s really the biggest thing to happen since we hit episode ۰۵۰. Yes, we’re puerile infants. We’re comfortable with that. Oh, and we had plenty of features too, including our video look at Penny Arcade Adventures, a new edition of Points>Life, and a new piece of swag up for grabs. Dig through it all in the links below.

Rumor: Resident Evil ۵ features co-op and cover system

wowgoldeu — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 05:10:29 +0000

Filed under: Sony PlayStation ۳, Microsoft Xbox ۳۶۰, Action, Adventure

ShackNews reports that a Resident Evil ۵ preview, originally posted by GamesRadar, stated the game would feature online co-op throughout the campaign and that a cover system had been added to the franchise. Sadly, we can’t report on this information directly from GamesRadar because the article has been removed. We blame the Umbrella Corporation. We always blame the Umbrella Corporation.

The preview allegedly revealed that there would be also be a dodge mechanic (using the right analog stick), a mercenary mini-game and a challenge mode. In the co-op campaign, players would be able to drop in and out at any time, with the AI taking over when there’s no pesky human with yummy brains to control the second character. RE۵ is expected sometime before the next decade and follows the possibly racist Chris Redfield as he indiscriminately kills all of zombie-kind between him and his goal.

News: Second Life CTO resigns

wowgoldeu — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 04:56:43 +0000

Sorry I’ve been radio silent for a while. Life has been busy, you know how it goes…

In any event, it appears that Cory Ondrejka, employee No. ۴ at San Francisco-based Linden Lab, which owns Second Life, quit Tuesday and will depart at the end of the year. Ondrejka spearheaded the company’s decision to allow users to retain intellectual property rights to their creations. That’s encouraged a thriving e-commerce market where users spend real dollars to buy virtual real estate, clothes, cars and other items. So it will be interesting to see where the company goes next.

These are the Xbox Live Arcade games (possibly) eligible for delisting

wowgoldeu — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 04:40:15 +0000

Most of you read or at least heard the Next-Gen interview with Marc Whitten where he revealed some Xbox Live Arcade games will be delisted. The article sparked quite a bit of discussion like Game|Life’s intelligent piece on long tail economics and GameSetWatch’s excellent devil advocate’s opinion regarding artificial scarcity.

Gamerscoreblog, written by actual Microsoft employees, confirms the criteria for delisting. Games that have a Metacritic score of ۶۵% or less, been on Xbox Live Arcade for over six months and have a demo to purchase ratio of less than ۶% might be pulled from the Xbox Live Arcade catalog.

The conversion ratio is the “wildcard” factor. Microsoft has never revealed this data, but just to get some idea of what games could be delisted I went through Metacritic to make two lists. The first is for games over six months old. The second reveals what games might be delisted in the future.

The potential delist list:

Crystal Quest

Speedball ۲: Brutal Deluxe

Hardwood Hearts

Fatal Fury Special

Contra

Marathon: Durandal

Missile Command

Time Pilot

Track & Field

Hardwood Backgammon

Hardwood Spades

Pac-Man

Frogger

Mad Tracks

Root Beer Tapper

Super Contra

Geon: Emotions

Soltrio Solitaire

Rush'n Attack

Aegis Wing

Defender

Rocketmen: Axis of Evil

Double Dragon

Xevious

Gyruss

Asteroids / Asteroids Deluxe

Centipede & Millipede

Spyglass Board Games

Tetris Splash

Ecco the Dolphin

Yie Ar Kung-Fu

Wing Commander Arena

Novadrome

Shrek-N-Roll

Scramble

Sonic the Hedgehog

Street Trace: NYC

TotemBall

Word Puzzle

New Rally-X

Cyberball ۲۰۷۲

Screwjumper!

Yaris

The potential delist list of the future:

Arkadian Warriors

Tempest

Tron

Boogie Bunnies

Discs of Tron

Triggerheart Exelica

Bliss Island

Brain Challenge

TiQal

Mr. Driller Online

Battlezone

Rocky and Bullwinkle

Jake Gyllenhaal Cast as the Prince of Persia

wowgoldeu — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 04:27:51 +0000

The Prince of Persia now has a Hollywood face, and he looks like Jake Gyllenhaal.

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Jake Gyllenhaal will be taking on the lead role in the upcoming film adaptation of Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia series.

Gyllenhaal will play Dastan, a ۶th century Persian prince who joins up with princess Tamina (played by new Bond girl Gemma Arterton) to stop an evil nobleman from getting his grubby hands on the mystical Sands of Time.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is being directed by Mike Newell, and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer for Disney, who promises (surprise) a big movie: “It’s not one of our smaller productions.”

Well, seeing as I’m quite a fan of Gyllenhaal (and his sister too, for that matter), this certainly comes as a welcomed announcement.

Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures: A Review of the first ۲۴ hours

As a seasoned veteran of the MMoRPG market, I must admit that I have been looking forward to AoC for quite some time now. Having long laid down the land of Azeroth for greener pastures, I yearned for something to fill the void in what has become a stagnant pool of pretenders to WoW’s throne.
