Capcom’s FLOCK! takes home the 2009 Scottish BAFTA for “Game of the Year” in the first year games have ever been included in the award categories.
FLOCK! producer Robby Zinchakat right accepting the award (with Creative Director Geoff Gunning), which in true Scottish tradition also includes a custom bottle of whiskey.
If you’re one of those award show people, you can watch the entire ceremony here. Congrats to everyone who worked on this, and if you missed it, be sure to check it out on XBLA, PSN, and PC.
10-November-2009 will go down in History as the day that the world stood still…. Well, not really stood still. More like didn’t feel too well, called into work to tell them they won’t be coming in today, then picked up their xbox 360, ps3 controllers, and proceeded to play most certainly the GAME OF THE YEAR for 2009 : Infinity Wards : Call Of Duty : Modern Warfare 2
I think that the world should all stand up and give the fine people over at Infinity Ward a VERY big round of applause and praise and appreciation for all their hard work in getting Modern Warfare 2 out on time and in great shape. I haven’t seen such a well polished and enjoyable game, multiplayer as well as campagne in quite some time.
As we are all quite busy doing what we do best and that is playing Modern Warfare 2. There wont be much updates to the site today. But once I’m done with the single player campagne I will be back to show you what you get in the Prestige Edition of Modern Warfare 2 and also run through some of the finer points of the game hopefully via MasterAbbotts’ video reviews.
So hang tight. Be cool and go play some Modern Warfare 2

A couple of weeks ago, we told you about new Resident Evil 5 content coming as a new Japanese version of the game called RE5 Alternative Edition. We asked you guys to tell us how you wanted to get your mitts on the content and gave you the option to vote for either digital download or a new boxed product. We let the poll run for a couple weeks and then snagged a bunch of your comments from the original blog posting as well as from threads in the forums and presented it all to the RE5 team in Osaka. As of this morning, we had close to 1500 people vote for DLC and close to 900 vote for a new physical product. In addition, we had over 300 comments on the blog posting, which is amazing to all of us here at Capcom.
And here’s an example of Capcom Unity in action: based on your feedback, in North American, European and Australia territories, Capcom will be making the new RE5 content for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 available as downloadable content. You will not be asked to purchase a new copy of the game just to get at the new stuff, just make sure to hold on to your RE5 disc and you’ll be ready to roll in Spring 2010 when we make available new Resident Evil adventures (and some other things we haven’t told you about yet) for you. Keep that in mind when thinking about selling RE5 back or handing it off to a friend 😉
I’ll be honest: we had a strong feeling going in that most folks were going to be ticking the box for digital delivery. Seeing as how we were asking you ONLINE to tell us if you would like to nab new game content via the internet, we thought we may have been skewing the results a bit. What surprised us, however, was just how many of you ended up voting for a new physical package. We’re still trying to wrap our heads around this strongly stated position from a vocal range of the community, but we’ve definitely heard you guys loud and clear as well.
Thanks to all of you as part of Team Unity in helping us reach this decision!

Thanks to Chris over at Capcom for this information. In my opinion. I think that Capcom should deliver both the DLC and the Physical product the same way Rockstar released Grand Theft Auto : Episodes From Liberty City. Give the fans both and then you will have two ways of reaching them and two sources of money coming in.

Only 12hours & 20mins left … before total mayhem is unleashed on XBOX LIVE !!
The game, which allows families, tweens and teens to experience a wild journey to rock stardom where they can “Build a Band and Rock the Universe,” combines the multiplayer music experience of Rock Band with the fun, customization and humor of the LEGO videogame franchise packed with brilliant chart-topping songs and classic favorites suitable for younger audiences, including: Blur’s “Song 2”, Carl Douglas’s “Kung Fu Fighting”, Europe’s “The Final Countdown”, Good Charlotte’s “Boys and Girls”, and Pink’s “So What.”
Players become rockers as they embark on a journey to stardom that the whole family can enjoy as they work their way through local venues, stadiums and fantasy locations on Earth and beyond that mimic the imaginative settings that the LEGO world offers. Also continuing the LEGO “build-and-play” gaming experience, players are able to create their own LEGO Rock Band style as they customize their minifigure avatars, band and entourage, including roadies, managers and crew. LEGO Rock Band supports Rock Band instruments, as well as other music game controllers.

Modern Warfare 2 continues being in the pre-release spotlight. The information related to Infinity Ward’s shooter is that 18-old Christian Del Amo was arrested by Miami-Dade police yesterday after supposedly trying to sell pirated copies of Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2. Last month, Activision Blizzard hired online investigation firm IPCybercrime to look into suspicious posts on Craigs list advertising Modern Warfare 2 Xbox 360 bundles for sale.
There were posts spotted on the piracy forums on xbox360iso.com, indicating that Del Amo got a copy of the game and then cracked the copy protection. Pirated digital release copies of Modern Warfare 2 were on torrent sites the very next day.
“We plug leaks every day,” said Rob Holmes, owner of IPCybercrime, “but this was one of the biggest ones of the year.”
