PS3 Fallout dubbed Inferior

According to a recent review in the magazine PSM3, the PC version of Fallout 3 is visually stunning, however the Xbox 360 version falls behind somewhat, mainly due to its rougher textures. The PS3 version? Well apparently it "compares poorly to its Xbox and PC counterparts". The review goes on to say that this is due to textures appearing to be "muddy" up close, with more jagged edges, and a choppier frame rate.

Not to worry though. The reviewer also says none of these problems are more than a slight annoyance, and will not hinder you enjoyment of the game in any way. Thankfully I'm not so easliy scared, and I'll still be picking up my PS3 copy on release.

Bobby Kotick is a Douchebag
An ex-quality assurance tester has spoken up on the merger between Vivendi and Activision, and the result is some pretty scathing criticism, and a thoroughly good read.

"Activision is sleazy though and I'm not just saying that because I got laid-off, I'm saying it because Bobby Kotick is a douchebag whose master plan is to dominate the industry, replacing innovative games for real hardcore gamers with easily-marketable generic washed-up CRAP for the masses."

When Zombies Attack

Who loves zombies? Everyone, that's who. As a precursor to the coming storm, Blizzard have launched an AWESOME world event. Appearing in ports all around Azeroth are small green-glowing crates with grain symbols stamped on them. Any players coming in contact with these crates are infected with a disease, which will turn them into a zombie after ten minutes - this is where it really gets cool. Zombie players are given a whole new bar of abilities, including the ability to infect other players. They're also able to attack any player, and any NPC they like, until they're brought down by the zombie hate of other players.

Woman murders virtual ex-husband, goes to jail in real life

Classic. A 43 year old Japanese lady has been sent to the slammer, after virtually murdering her 33 year old virtual ex-husband. Both players of the popular online RPG Maple Story, the man had divorced his in-game wife without warning. Taking this betrayal a little too seriously, the woman logged onto the man's account and deleted his character in a fit of rage. Upon realising his character had been deleted, the man called the police. The woman has been sent to jail for suspicion of illegally accessing a computer and manipulating electronic data. In Japan, this crime could mean a five year prison sentence, or up to $5000US in fines.
