  Epic: Consoles Are 'Stealing' Hardcore Gamers From PC The hardcore PC gaming audience is dwindling, says Epic's Mark Rein, because consoles are slowly but surely stealing players away. "Consoles are definitely stealing a lot of hardcore gamers from the PC," Rein told The Guardian, adding, "[T]he sales of the console versions are something like ten times the sales of the PC versions." Which makes us wonder why we're still waiting for a 360 version of Unreal Tournament 3. "The game is up and running on Xbox 360 - it has been for a long time, and its running wonderfully - it just doesn't have any Xbox Live written into it yet so that's the work that remains," explained Rein.Microsoft also is apparently still resistant to the idea of user-created content, but Rein doesn't blame them. As it stands right now, Live is a closed system whose content is checked and re-checked for quality, something that wouldn't be possible with something like UT3's mods, he said. "User gener

• Purse Snatcher Uses Stolen Credit Cards to Buy Consoles

  2007-10-01 16:51:45

  Bethany Ann Campbell (43) was arrested last Tuesday trying to pawn video games she purchased with the credit cards she stole, according to a recent Associated Press story. Right now she’s in jail facing 22 felony charges. My only guess about her situation is that she was either buying the video game consoles for her 10 year-old son, or maybe it was just another high-priced item to pick up off the shelves. What an awesome mother.Source: Gaming Today Online Games Gaming news Console gaming credit card theft purse snatcher Bethany Ann Campbell Videogames
• Virtual Consoles of the World prepare for TurboGrafx-CD games

  2007-09-17 19:10:19

  Hudson announced officially its worldwide plans for TurboGrafx-CD games on the Wii's Virtual Console.In a press release today, Hudson announced the games will be available starting in October in Japan and "soon thereafter" in Europe, North America and Australia for 800 Wii Shop points.The release promises over five TG-CD games in 2007 and over ten in 2008, but doesn't go into any details on which specific games will be available. Even so, we're relatively sure that Japanese shooter Cho Aniki won't be among those classics coming across the pond. It's a shame really -- if there's one thing guaranteed to shake up the American shmup market, it's a game full of homoerotic shots of shirtless, musclebound men.Source: Joystiq Online Games Hudson NEC Nintendo Virtual console turbografx-16 turbografx-CD games
• Gaming Consoles Linked To Terrorist Attacks

  Penitentiaries in the UK have banned Xbox 360, PS3 and Nintendo DS because officials believe the crooks in the slammer are smart enough to send out messages to other convicts and set up a terror attack.Just don’t let them get online. Doesn’t that solve that whole problem? Criminals shouldn’t have any privileges, but banning gaming consoles is a bit harsh. Maybe it’s just the gamer in me. The technology in the new generation of computer games makes them a security risk. There is concern that top terror suspects have been using systems already in jails. Radio software is an integral part of the equipment. LMAO. Source: Crunch Gear Online Games consoles terrorist gaming news jail banned gaming
