First Wow, Now Age of Conan: Russian Faints From Excitement [Localization]

<p><img src="http://kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/07/aoc.JPG" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"/>If Russia were a 5-year-old boy wearing overalls he'd be jumping up and down right now laughing hysterically, waving his over-sized lollipop about in glee. (Yes, that's how I picture Russia)</p> <p>Funcom just announced that they have signed an agreement with 1C to fully localize the voice and text for a Russian version of Age of Conana: Hyborian Adventures. 1C will also operate local customer service, which I believe requires a gun license, deal with the community websites and in-game support for Age of Conan in Russian. Funcom still plans to take care of the back-end tech and server infrastructure as well as handling all future development for the game.</p> <p>The companies plan to build a dedicated Russian realm to allow the Russian community the chance to stick together and communicate with each other in their native language. Didn't Czar Nicholas II try to create a Russian realm once? I'm pretty sure it didn't end well.</p> <blockquote><p> “1C Company is a clear leader in the Russian speaking regions, and we are confident we have found the perfect partner,” said Trond Arne Aas, CEO of Funcom. “We have already shipped a substantial amount of English boxes into Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, but we know that the real key to success is achieved through localized servers and services. Together with 1C Company we will do our uttermost to make Age of Conan a success for many years to come.”</p> <p>“We are happy working together with Funcom on bringing Age of Conan to Russia. The game has already gained success here, reaching top places in many retail charts. With an already established fan base in Russia I’m sure it will become even bigger after the localized version appears on the market,” said Nikolay Baryshnikov, International Sales Director of 1C Company. “Age of Conan is a great mix of action, RPG elements and adventure. I believe that the game has potential to become a big hit in Russia.” </p></blockquote> <br style="clear:both;"/> <img alt="" style="border:0;height:1px;width:1px;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?i=1d5b04ac79093e4810ce2437119bcc92" height="1" width="1"/>

PSN Will Have "Competitive Edge" [Naughty Dog]

<p><img src="http://kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/07/richard_nd.jpg"/>PSN vs. Xbox Live, FIGHT! While Microsoft clearly had the jumpstart with online, Sony is slowly but surely coming into its own. While it's still early, developer Richard Lemarchand from Sony-owned Naughty Dog believes PSN will have an edge that XBL won't:</p> <blockquote><p> I think there's going to be other things coming down the pipe that's going to give PSN as a whole a competitive edge... What I will say is as a games designer I'm very excited about net connectivity. I really like how Sony is thinking a little bit outside the box in terms of gamers as modern media consumers. With things like <i>LittleBigPlanet</i> looking towards consumer-generated content and with games like <i>flOw</i> and <i>flOwer</i> &mdash; which are art games &mdash; Sony is really looking to expand games as culture in the same way that pop music, literature and fine art are culture. </p></blockquote> <p>Well, what did you expect him to say?</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://ps3.ign.com/articles/895/895045p1.html">Naughty Dog Q&A</a> [IGN via <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/53942">Shacknews</a>]</p> <br style="clear:both;"/> <img alt="" style="border:0;height:1px;width:1px;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?i=99886f2fcf6ac50a98136b09017acc8e" height="1" width="1"/>

Ventes De Matériel De Nintendo : Ventes de Ds Vers le bas, Ventes De Wii Vers le haut (Avec Données De Ventes De Vie De Bonification) [ Résultats De Nintendo Q109

Nintendo a juste libéré leurs résultats financiers pour Q1 2009, et
en tant qu'élément de cela ont indiqué non seulement combien
matériel ils ont décalé entre avril et juin 2008, mais combien ils
sont parvenus à décaler l'excédent chacun des durées de vie de
leur console. Et c'est lecture intéressante, parce que tandis que le
Wii continue à aller de la force à la force, le DS montre une
diminution de ventes (quoique mineure). Pourrions-nous finalement voir
la marque tenue dans la main de marée haute ? Voici les données de
ventes pour chaque console au-dessus du quart (Avr.-Juin 08), avec des
chiffres de vie entre parenthèses. Wii Japon - 530.000 (6.4 millions)
Amérique du nord - 2.5 millions (13.1 millions) d'Europe/Aus/Asia
- 2.15 millions de total (de 10 millions) - 5.17 millions (29.62
millions) de DS Japon - 580.000 (22.9 millions) Amérique du nord
- 2.7 millions (25.1 millions) d'Europe/Aus/Asia - 3.65 millions de
total (de 29.5 millions) - 6.94 millions (77.5 millions) de ventes de
Wii ont lieu vers le haut à partir d'Avr.-Juin 2007, quand
"seulement" 3.4 millions ont été vendus. Mais, comme mentionné, les
ventes de DS sont réellement vers le bas, comme cette fois l'année
dernière 6.98 millions ont été vendus, par opposition à 6.94
millions. C'est une petite réduction, sûre, mais c'est une
réduction néanmoins.

EA Sports To Introduce "Subscription Programs" [EA Sports]

On lui a mentionné seulement brièvement pendant la conférence
téléphonique de l'ea aujourd'hui, mais il était assez pour nous
obtenir intéressés. Tandis que parler de encore plus de plans de
pâté en croûte-dans-le-ciel que l'ea ont pour le futur de leurs
sports stigmatisent, le patron Peter Moore d'étiquette a dit
qu'ils regardaient instituants l'"abonnement programme" pour leurs
titres, "pour profiter" de fidélité de client. Accordé, ce pourrait
être quelque chose, mais quand vous considérez Moore également dit
que les futurs titres de PC "tireraient profit de la connectivité en
ligne d'une plus grande et plus signicative manière", quelques
possibilités jaillissent à l'esprit. Mises à jour pendant toute
l'année de rôle, peut-être ? Ou peut-être jeu de croix-plateforme
de PC/console ? Laissez vos imaginations courir librement.

Ventes de matériel et de logiciel de PSP pour Q1 2009

Classé dessous : Nouvelles que le premier trimestre du nouvel
exercice budgétaire de Sony (Avr.-Juin 2008) s'est avéré tout à
fait réussi pour la marque de PlayStation. La division de jeu a
signalé un bénéfice de $51 millions, un changement rigide des
quarts perte-conduits par PS3 dans le passé. PSP a joué un rôle
significatif en apportant PlayStation à la rentabilité, avec
l'augmentation du matériel et le logiciel sales.During cette
période, PSP a vendu dans le monde entier 3.72 millions d'unités.
C'est une augmentation de 75% Q1 fini 2008. Les ventes de logiciel
sont allées jusqu'à 11.8 millions d'unités, une augmentation de
20%. Tandis que l'amélioration des ventes de logiciel est un bon
signe, ce total traîne toujours des revenus significatifs du PS2 et
PS3.PSP avait rencontré le succès incroyable partout dans le monde,
particulièrement au Japon. Avec des ventes la manière ils sont
maintenant, là est peu de raison de croire que la tendance changera

Pedophiles Award "Game Points" For Nude Pictures of Children [Child Sex Crimes]

<p><img src="http://kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/07/pedwow.JPG" align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2"/>What.... the.... hell?</p> <p>Orlando's Channel Six news is reporting that pedophiles are offering "game points" in exchange for nude images of children sent through video games.</p> <p>Well reporting is a bit of an overstatement, they declare that in their headline and the first sentence of their "story" but never really explain what the hell they're going on about. In fact the entire story is a mess of quotes, misstatements and supposition that never gets around to actually explaining what the story is about.</p> <p>There is, for instance, this quote:</p> <blockquote><p> "Kids are playing games, and they are being asked to take photos of themselves naked in order to get game points," state attorney Cybercrime Detective Lt. David Maurer said. "There is not only the chatting version of the games but also a webcam involved." </p></blockquote> <p>So this lieutenant with some unnamed police department (one can assume Orlando) apparently thinks that some games (video games?) involve taking photo and sending them to some people (pedophiles?).</p> <p>But then the lieutenant returns to the story a graph later to say that this is actually just one of his personal theories, as in not fact.</p> <p>The story then mentions that the most popular games are Halo 3, Call Of Duty, Final Fantasy and Grand Theft Auto. Wait does that mean you get points for sending naked pictures of yourself to pedophiles while playing Call of Duty or Halo 3?</p> <p>Who knows, but the news channel quotes two parents who are "worried, scared." Don't worry, I'm right with you. I'm worried that whatever idiot who wrote this story might have actually broadcast it and I'm scared that this "reporter" might strike again.</p> <p>I've emailed the station to try and get some actual fact to see what they're on about. I'll update once and if I hear back. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.local6.com/contact/index.html">Feel free to email the station yourself</a> if you're too inpatient to wait to hear what they tell me.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.local6.com/family/16995600/detail.html">'Video-Gaming' Child Predators Offering Points For Nude Photos</a> [Local 6]</p> <br style="clear:both;"/> <img alt="" style="border:0;height:1px;width:1px;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?i=49c5284f4242241b31d80f25137194b2" height="1" width="1"/>

Mercenary Group To Airdrop 360s, Guitar Hero To US Troops [Xbox 360]

<p><img src="http://kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/07/blackwater.jpg" class="postimg left"/>You familiar with Blackwater Worldwide? They'll call themselves all kind of fancy names, but really, they're a mercenary group. Being an American mercenary group, a lot of their manpower comes straight from the US Army, making that the perfect place to recruit from. And what's a good way to recruit? By spreading good will. Which is spread quite easily when you plan stuff like this:<br /> <blockquote>Blackwater recruiter James Overton is working on packing a Microsoft Xbox video-game console, modem, TV projector and "Guitar Hero" video game into a kit that can be kicked out of a Blackwater cargo plane and dropped to troops in Afghanistan.</p></blockquote> <p> Ah, 21st century warfare.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.gamepolitics.com/2008/07/27/controversial-blackwater-worldwide-using-guitar-hero-xbox-360-recruiting-efforts">Controversial Blackwater Worldwide Using Guitar Hero, Xbox 360 in Recruiting Efforts</a> [GamePolitics]</p> <br style="clear:both;"/> <img alt="" style="border:0;height:1px;width:1px;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?i=e42a1e3018a85ccfc8a61357f9b9b8d8" height="1" width="1"/>

Less Than A Month And a Half, MGS4 In Bargain Bins? [Only In Japan]

<p><img src="http://kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/07/mgs4_bargain_close.jpg" style="display:block;"/><i>Metal Gear Solid 4</i> hasn't even been out a month and a half, but according to Japanese sites, it's hitting the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.sofmap.com/">Sofmap</a> "wagon sale" bargain bins where it joins the likes of <i>Virtua Fighter 5</i> and SEGA's PSP brain trainer. The Konami stealth game was originally released for ¥8,800 (US$82), making it one of the pricier PS3 titles. (Expensive third party PS3 titles tend to book for around ¥7,800 or $72.) Here, what seem to be new copies of <i>MGS4</i> are going for ¥3,980 ($37). We're not sure if this is an isolated Sofmap store or if other shops in the Sofmap chain are picking up on this price slashing or if this is just a Sofmap summer sale thingy. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%A1%E3%82%BF%E3%83%AB%E3%82%AE%E3%82%A2-%E3%82%BD%E3%83%AA%E3%83%83%E3%83%89-4-%E3%82%AC%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BA%E3%83%BB%E3%82%AA%E3%83%96%E3%83%BB%E3%82%B6%E3%83%BB%E3%83%91%E3%83%88%E3%83%AA%E3%82%AA%E3%83%83%E3%83%88-%E9%80%9A%E5%B8%B8%E7%89%88/dp/B0016770EA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1217231818&sr=1-2">Amazon Japan</a> has new copies going for slightly above ¥7,000, while the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0009RQKUI?tag=8maki-22&camp=243&creative=1615&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=B0009RQKUI&adid=0D2FSBD949GYF3FCVD5G&">Special Edition</a> is going for ¥5,980. Who knows.</p> <p>What we do know is that the game sold a ton when released, already placing it in <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://kotaku.com/5023225/what-are-the-top-selling-games-of-2008-so-far">the top sellers of 2008</a>. And it got great reviews in Japan. And it <i>is</i> a great game. So don't think of this as a bad thing! Even if Konami is losing money on these remaining copies, Japanese gamers have less of an excuse to pick up the title. Could help the game sell a million copies eventually. So this is all good, really.</p> <p>Hit the jump for a wider pic.</p> <p><img src="http://kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/07/mgs4_bargain_far.jpg" style="display:block;"/><br> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.livedoor.jp/jin115/archives/51340709.html">『メタルギアソリッド４』、ソフマップのワゴンセールに並ぶ</a> [my game news flash]</p> <br style="clear:both;"/> <img alt="" style="border:0;height:1px;width:1px;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?i=3b8bcd006bf55e53862e0b6c9ecd8e96" height="1" width="1"/>

Well, 22-year-old Sean Feica just drummed that in a solo Rock Band marathon that will be at least 25 hours straight by the time this is published. Holy shit, is pretty much all I can say.<br /> <br /> We've been getting lots of game marathon notices, and no offense, lots of them sound like the ultra-successful Super Mario Marathon last month. But this really takes the cake. Feica, obviously, has achieved expert in this game many times over. He has all of the DLC for Rock Band and has gone through, as of writing, 223 out of 225 songs with 56 full combos. I'm not sure if he's going to start over once he finishes the last two, but if he doesn't, there are clips of his drumming on his <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/scorehero-woo">Ustream page</a>.

Ghostbusters : Le Jeu vidéo Main-Sur [ Comique-escroquez 08

<p><img src="http://kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/07/ghostbusters_preview.jpg" class="postimg center" width="494" height="276" style="display:block;float:none;"/>One of the most unfortunate cancellations of Comic-Con 08 was the <em>Ghostbusters: The Video Game</em> panel, planned to feature actors Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson as well as reps from Sierra. While we were disheartened to learn of the nixing of that particular panel, we took comfort in the limited, but very awesome, showfloor demo of <em>Ghostbusters: The Video Game</em>. Based on our limited playtime, we're more interested than ever to get our hands on the final version, and not just for the stellar performance from the Ghostbusters booth babes.</p> <p>The Comic-Con demo takes place in the New York public library, the location featured at the beginning of the first Ghostbusters film. As the four Ghostbusters enter the library &mdash; Winston Zeddemore, Egon Spengler, Ray Stantz and you, the new recruit &mdash; the cheers of New Yorkers can be heard in the distance.</p> <p>The 'Busters are tasked with taking out a few unwelcome guests holed up in the library, one being the librarian ghost seen in the first film. The demo introduces the player to the PKE meter, which senses ectoplasmic activity and scans spirits and ectoplasmic residue a la the visor in Metroid Prime.</p> <p>Used in conjunction with the "paragoggles", you'll be able to hunt down evidence and find traces of ghosts. Hitting the Y button the Xbox 360 controller brought up the EPK meter and switched to first-person paragoggle mode.</p> <p>After tracing one of the specters into the basement, we came across one of the game's mini-boss fights. As we entered a huge room in the library and met up with the other three Ghostbusters, a giant book golem, essentially a swirling mass of books with a reading lamp for a head, attacked.</p> <p>While it wasn't clear what we had to do to defeat the thing after scanning it, Stantz just encourage us to cooperate and saturate the thing with proton pack beams.</p> <p>Your proton pack has a very film accurate feel to it. It feels wildly out of control (in a good way) and has a few alternate modes of fire. You can do a "slam" move with the left trigger to drain a ghost of its energy, essentially firing a burst of extra proton pack power. The backpack can also overheat when used for long stretches, so you'll have to vent it if you don't want an interrupted proton stream.</p> <p>After our book golem fight &mdash; which took far, far longer than we thought it would &mdash; we headed further into the depths of library, the location of the librarian ghost. Walking through the aisles of the library archives, we were attacked by flying books, moving book shelves and a occasionally, a ghost known as the Collector.</p> <p>We met up with the Collector, who threw dozens of animated books and whatever library furniture was in the room at our character and Ray Stantz. This was our first attempt at using the containment unit, which the player can toss on the floor with the X button. Positioning the ghost by manipulating it with your proton beam is no easy task, even with an AI controlled Stantz helping us out.</p> <p>At one point, Stantz went down and we had to revive him with the A button, making our final push against the Collector a bit easier. After containing the flying specter with the beam, then slamming it against the walls and ceilings, we finally got the Collector into the containment unit, ending our demo.</p> <p>We were pleasantly surprised at how well the game captured the mood of the first film, no doubt helped by the inclusion of voices of Ernie Hudson, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. None of Bill Murray's dialogue was featured in the demo level, sadly, but what we did hear of the other actors sounded great.</p> <p><em>Ghostbusters: The Video Game</em> has attention to detail &mdash; and fan service &mdash; in spades. The EPK meter model looks spot on and the menu selection screen, the Ghostbusters firehouse HQ, is a nice touch.</p> <p>The game simply looks fantastic, with beautifully modeled characters and props. Our main complaint &mdash; a minor complaint &mdash; with the game's visuals were the overly glossy, over bloom-lighted graphics. Otherwise, the game looks brilliant.</p> <p>One thing we hope is addressed are the cues that direct a player what to do next and how to use their ghost bustin' tools. We actually restarted the demo because we felt like we'd missed some sort of critical direction from the NPCs. Turns out we just hadn't scanned a display case (one that we didn't even see during a few minutes of poking around). We also suspect that our book golem fight took much longer than necessary because we weren't really familiar with the alternate firing modes of the proton pack. Hopefully, this issue can simply be chalked up to the limited available play time.</p> <p>It may be Ghostbusters nostalgia taking over, but our brief taste of the game did feel like a return to form for the property. The whole experience captured the experience, or what we assume the experience, of being a part of the Ghostbuster team would be like. We're very, very excited to get our hands on the game again.</p> <br style="clear:both;"/> <img alt="" style="border:0;height:1px;width:1px;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?i=229d4eedf52197b79b9106024531cfdc" height="1" width="1"/>

Ghostbusters: The Video Game Hands-On [Comic-con 08]

<p><img src="http://kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/07/ghostbusters_preview.jpg" class="postimg center" width="494" height="276" style="display:block;float:none;"/>One of the most unfortunate cancellations of Comic-Con 08 was the <em>Ghostbusters: The Video Game</em> panel, planned to feature actors Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson as well as reps from Sierra. While we were disheartened to learn of the nixing of that particular panel, we took comfort in the limited, but very awesome, showfloor demo of <em>Ghostbusters: The Video Game</em>. Based on our limited playtime, we're more interested than ever to get our hands on the final version, and not just for the stellar performance from the Ghostbusters booth babes.</p> <p>The Comic-Con demo takes place in the New York public library, the location featured at the beginning of the first Ghostbusters film. As the four Ghostbusters enter the library &mdash; Winston Zeddemore, Egon Spengler, Ray Stantz and you, the new recruit &mdash; the cheers of New Yorkers can be heard in the distance.</p> <p>The 'Busters are tasked with taking out a few unwelcome guests holed up in the library, one being the librarian ghost seen in the first film. The demo introduces the player to the PKE meter, which senses ectoplasmic activity and scans spirits and ectoplasmic residue a la the visor in Metroid Prime.</p> <p>Used in conjunction with the "paragoggles", you'll be able to hunt down evidence and find traces of ghosts. Hitting the Y button the Xbox 360 controller brought up the EPK meter and switched to first-person paragoggle mode.</p> <p>After tracing one of the specters into the basement, we came across one of the game's mini-boss fights. As we entered a huge room in the library and met up with the other three Ghostbusters, a giant book golem, essentially a swirling mass of books with a reading lamp for a head, attacked.</p> <p>While it wasn't clear what we had to do to defeat the thing after scanning it, Stantz just encourage us to cooperate and saturate the thing with proton pack beams.</p> <p>Your proton pack has a very film accurate feel to it. It feels wildly out of control (in a good way) and has a few alternate modes of fire. You can do a "slam" move with the left trigger to drain a ghost of its energy, essentially firing a burst of extra proton pack power. The backpack can also overheat when used for long stretches, so you'll have to vent it if you don't want an interrupted proton stream.</p> <p>After our book golem fight &mdash; which took far, far longer than we thought it would &mdash; we headed further into the depths of library, the location of the librarian ghost. Walking through the aisles of the library archives, we were attacked by flying books, moving book shelves and a occasionally, a ghost known as the Collector.</p> <p>We met up with the Collector, who threw dozens of animated books and whatever library furniture was in the room at our character and Ray Stantz. This was our first attempt at using the containment unit, which the player can toss on the floor with the X button. Positioning the ghost by manipulating it with your proton beam is no easy task, even with an AI controlled Stantz helping us out.</p> <p>At one point, Stantz went down and we had to revive him with the A button, making our final push against the Collector a bit easier. After containing the flying specter with the beam, then slamming it against the walls and ceilings, we finally got the Collector into the containment unit, ending our demo.</p> <p>We were pleasantly surprised at how well the game captured the mood of the first film, no doubt helped by the inclusion of voices of Ernie Hudson, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. None of Bill Murray's dialogue was featured in the demo level, sadly, but what we did hear of the other actors sounded great.</p> <p><em>Ghostbusters: The Video Game</em> has attention to detail &mdash; and fan service &mdash; in spades. The EPK meter model looks spot on and the menu selection screen, the Ghostbusters firehouse HQ, is a nice touch.</p> <p>The game simply looks fantastic, with beautifully modeled characters and props. Our main complaint &mdash; a minor complaint &mdash; with the game's visuals were the overly glossy, over bloom-lighted graphics. Otherwise, the game looks brilliant.</p> <p>One thing we hope is addressed are the cues that direct a player what to do next and how to use their ghost bustin' tools. We actually restarted the demo because we felt like we'd missed some sort of critical direction from the NPCs. Turns out we just hadn't scanned a display case (one that we didn't even see during a few minutes of poking around). We also suspect that our book golem fight took much longer than necessary because we weren't really familiar with the alternate firing modes of the proton pack. Hopefully, this issue can simply be chalked up to the limited available play time.</p> <p>It may be Ghostbusters nostalgia taking over, but our brief taste of the game did feel like a return to form for the property. The whole experience captured the experience, or what we assume the experience, of being a part of the Ghostbuster team would be like. We're very, very excited to get our hands on the game again.</p> <br style="clear:both;"/> <img alt="" style="border:0;height:1px;width:1px;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?i=229d4eedf52197b79b9106024531cfdc" height="1" width="1"/>

Gears of War Movie Closer To Getting Made [Hollywood]

<p><img src="http://kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/07/thomas_tull.jpg"/>The <i>Gears of War</i> movie has a co-financer and co-producer. Meaning? Meaning that we're closer to seeing it on the silverscreen. According to <i>Variety</i>, Legendary Pictures is co-financing the <i>Gears</i> movie with New Line. (Legendary recently financed <i>The Dark Knight</i> and are adapting <i>World of Warcraft</i>.) The head of Legendary, Thomas Tull (pictured), is apparently a big gamer, so that should hopefully ease concerns. Somewhat. <i>Live Free or Die Hard</i> director Len Wiseman is attached to helm the project. </p> <p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://weblogs.variety.com/the_cut_scene/2008/07/legendary-pictu.html">Legendary Pictures co-financing "Gears of War" movie"</a> [The Cut Scene]</p> <br style="clear:both;"/> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?s=68b28c4ed9faa1f43bf56de21ee03d40"><img alt="" style="border:0;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?s=68b28c4ed9faa1f43bf56de21ee03d40"/></a> <img src="http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/tracker.php?i=68b28c4ed9faa1f43bf56de21ee03d40" style="display:none;" border="0" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

Ce Dieu est-il de confirmation de Brett Ratner de guerre ? [ rumeur

<p><img src="http://kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/07/ratner_confirmation_web.jpg"/>Those early rumblings just might be true. Back in May, rumors swirled that filmmaker Brett Ratner was directing the <i>God of War</i> movie. In a MGM press release for the new <i>RoboCop</i> movie, there's this bit of info:</p> <blockquote><p> David Self’s credits include <i>13 Days</i> and <i>Road To Perdition</i>. He wrote <i>God of War</i> for Universal, to which Brett Ratner is attached to direct, and was a writer on Universal’s <i>Wolfman</i> currently in production. </p></blockquote> <p>That press release is obviously incorrect.

You play as up-and-coming surgeon Dr. Humerus, who diagnoses patients with wacky illnesses at five different hospitals on his way to becoming an expert surgeon through microgames "reminiscent of the board game," but it's also got a story mode, upgradeable hospitals, and multiplayer.</p> <p>EA's launching it on its casual <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://Pogo.com">Pogo</a> site in North America and Europe in August, and in a retail box in North America in September.
