Remember Me contest wants your cherished memories

Capcom has kicked of an interesting contest for fans that are looking forward to playing next year’s Remember Me, which is a futuristic action title being developed by Dontnod Entertainment. The story of Remember Me is based around the idea that memories are a commodity in the future which can be sold, traded, stolen and even modified.

This contest they are holding involves creating a fake product advertisement for a fake brand in an attempt to have them featured in Remember Me when it is released. There are five different categories for creations, which are: an alcoholic drink, fast food, a sport/sports event, a dating service, and a children’s toy company.

For those of you who are artistically challenged, there is a second contest being held where you can send Capcom photographs of your chereished memories as well as a description of why they are important to you. Capcom will then select photos at random and use them as a part of the special effects that will be used during Remember Me’s Memory Overload sequences that will occur whenever the main character Nilin performs a signature attack. Details about the contest can be found here and it will end on November 29th.

X-Play and Attack of the Show canceled

If you were still tuning into G4TV then you will probably stop doing so by the end of the year because today the company announced that they are planning on dropping the last two video game related shows on the channel as Attack of the Show! and X-Play will be ending at the end of 2012.

G4 said in a statement that “Both shows will include original episodes through the end of the year, and will look back at their most memorable moments as we lead up to their final episodes.” Both of these shows were very memorable in the past, with X-Play starting back in 2003 and Attack of the Show in 2005. However in recent years the favorite hosts for these shows had chosen to leave their respective shows and the quality of both has been on a downward spiral since then.

Stars turn out to raise a fortune for charity

All the big names were out at Woolloomoolloo Wharf to lend a hand to Sony Foundations annual Wharf4Ward fundraising charity lunch where 850 of the countries stars enjoyed a water front treat of fine food , wine and entertainment, raising over half a million dollars in the process for Sony’s charity campaign ‘You Can’ which through a combined campaign effort setup by Sony and Canteen helps to raise funds and awareness for specialised youth cancer care and services Australia wide. Some of the Sony Artists aiding the appeal included Timomatic and Justice Crew as well as a special appearance from Jessica Mauboy as well as performances from the X-Factor finalists.

Each major network also helped support the event with such household names as Channel Sevens Natalie Bassingthwaite, Nines Georgie Gardner and Channel Tens Natarsha Belling amongst many others all hosting the event. Peter Garrett made a surprise appearance and many other celebrities all helped to achieve such an amazing amount which will give so much to many who have so little.

Sophie Ryan, Chief Executive Officer, Sony Foundation Australia, said: “800 guests, six restaurants, 200m of wharf, five live music acts and 11 hosts – the recipe for an amazing day. It was also a great example of how people can come together to raise more than half a million dollars for a much-needed cause. This money goes to Sony Foundation’s ‘You Can’ campaign to help young Australians survive cancer and we’re ecstatic with the result.  This money will make a measurable difference to the lives of young Australians with cancer”.

The guests enjoyed the food of some of Sydneys finest dining establishments along the wharf including Akis, China Doll, Mantra, Otto Ristorante, Cristinis and Kingsleys Steak and Crabhouse.
