Vince Zampella and Jason West file lawsuit

Vince Zampella and Jason West are bringing a lawsuit against Activision for breach of contract and other claims, after Activision terminated their employment on March 1.

Remember those two Infinity Ward heads that were recently removed by Activision, well they are filing a lawsuit against Activision, stating that they were removed right before Activision payed the royalties to them that were due.

“Instead of thanking, lauding, or just plain paying Jason and Vince for giving Activision the most successful entertainment product ever offered to the public,” attorney Robert Schwartz said, “last month Activision hired lawyers to conduct a pretextual ‘investigation’ into unstated and unsubstantiated charges of ‘insubordination‘ and ‘breach of fiduciary duty,’ which then became the grounds for their termination on Monday, March 1st.”

(That paragraph up there basically says why they were fired, I’ve linked to Wikipedia for the bigger words. Kids, remember, never ever use Wikipedia for your papers in school, I am a very bad influence)

The lawsuit not only seeks compensation, but also seeks to try to gain the rights that Zampella and West previously owned within Infinity Ward.

What is everyone’s verdict? Should Vince Zampella and Jason West win their lawsuit?

Australian R18+ rating has to wait until April

Left 4 Dead vs Australia

In April, a debate will be held to determine whether Australia should receive an R18+ rating.

Currently, if a publisher wants to release a game in Australia that doesn’t meet Australia’s highest rating of M15, the game must be censored or remain banned.

That’s how I ended up with the bloodtastic version of Left 4 Dead 2 here in the US, while MasterAbott ended up with the bloodless abomination of Left 4 Dead 2 in Australia.

Support the Cause! Until Australia gets a higher rating they will always be subject to the censorship forced upon games released there. Of course if you are the kind of person who doesn’t like gore, then you can completely ignore this article. But if you read all the way down here, it is too late for you anyway. MUHAHAHAHAHA!

More hints within Portal

Below is the extended Portal ending. Possible Spoilers

The video above contains the extended version of the ending of Portal.

Steam followed up the previous portal update, with a new update today. The ending has been extended, and what you see above is that extended ending.

What could this possibly mean? Is this steam’s way of shoving an eminent sequel into our face?

If a sequel is eminent, I know I’ll be picking it up, the first one was awesome.

If you haven’t yet played Portal I’d suggest to either buy it on steam, buy the orange box, or buy the arcade version. (Each one is under $20)

Steam has all these updates though, so if you want to see it yourself, you’ll need to buy it on steam.

Halo Reach Multiplayer Trailer

Bungie released a new Multiplayer trailer for those of you who still get hyped up about every single halo game and product.

If you managed to enjoy ODST (Even a little bit), if you bought halo legends, and if you still play Halo 3 multiplayer, then you will probably love this trailer.

If the above doesn’t apply to you, I’d suggest not to watch the trailer, but it is always up to you.

So what do you guys think? Everything you were hoping? Another Halo game that will have lots of hype and then disappoint? Undecided?

Oh yeah, did i mention the Beta will land May 5th, and all the invitation is with the ODST disc. So wait until may 4th and buy a used copy of ODST, because on may 5th you’ll be stuck buying a new copy because all the used ones will be gone.

You could also WIN A COPY OF HALO ODST if you enter the Capsule Computers & Fishpond Competition.  Check it out here or on the right side for more details 🙂

Red Dead Redemption Now Coming this May to PS3 and Xbox 360

Straight from the Horses mouth in the wild wild west of Red Dead Redemption.  Seems like the carrier pigeons, pack mules, merchant wagons have all broken down at the same time and in doing so Rockstar games have announced that RED DEAD REDEMPTION will be delayed till the 18th March North America & 21st May in Europe.  They promised that this is final date for the release. 

Check out the offical post from the Rockstar site below :

Sorry guys – as you may have heard, it’s going to be just a few extra weeks of wait until the release of Red Dead Redemption on Xbox 360 and PS3.  The game’s new release date – which we promise is final! – is May 18th, 2010 (May 21st in Europe).

We at Rockstar have always prided ourselves on the uncompromising quality of our games – and will always opt to take a bit longer to polish and fine-tune a game to be as perfect as possible when we think it necessary.  With Red Dead Redemption, we felt that these extra few weeks will make a big difference in helping us deliver you an experience beyond your expectations.

Thanks for your patience.  We believe it will be worth the wait.

How does everyone feel about the delay ? Well at least it will give me time to play my other 70+ UNOPENED GAMES.  Yes I know I have major problems. 😉

Looking forward to blur?
Didn’t get a pass for the beta that releases March 8th?
Not a gold member, so you didn’t even bother?

Well, go to their website, and sign up for information on the beta for a chance to get Beta access. http://www.blurgame.com/home

I’m not exactly sure how they decide who gets in, (it could be everyone who signs up), but if you get into the beta they will supply the Xbox code on March 8th, as well as a 48 hour xbox live trial.

So sign up, and have a chance to play the beta.

Blur Arrives in stores May 25th (US), May 28th (Europe).
