Oh cool, congrats Bluestrike! Where will the studio be located?

So st0lve, Dux: Is it what you expected? Does it exceed your expectations even?

I stopped reading CTRL+ALT+DEL long time ago. A few months ago I heard that the girl got pregnant and had a miscarriage...now that's a funny videogame related comic!

I'm not sitting at the edge of my seat after browsing their site and reading a preview. Sounds like Crackdown with monsters

Congrats merkaba!

Cool congrats David that's a big step!

Quote from Taylor

Though on the other hand, people need to start putting a bit of doubt into articles they read on Kotaku.

I'd say this applies to rumors which often turn out to be untrue but all this article was was a link to a post written by an EA community manager, so the source seemed to be credible. Turned out he and kotaku were wrong plus everybody else picking up on this. Still if you can't trust Kotaku, WHO ELSE could you still trust? Hm???

Plugin not working?

I'd like to hear opinions on whether you already play on your iphone or ipod touch, if you intend to purchase a 2nd generation ipod touch to play games on the go or have any general feedback - maybe someone's even thinking about developing for the platform? Fire away!

On the subject of not being able to play your games anymore if you get banned from the EA forums: apparently this is all a huuuge misunderstanding and completely untrue:

EA really needs to get their moderators under control. How about starting in that department for layoffs?

Quote from Sindwiller

And I actually wanted to buy Red Alert 2.

In that case I got good news for you :

Quote

"Your forum account will be directly tied to your Master EA Account, so if we ban you on the forums, you would be banned from the game as well since the login process is the same. And you'd actually be banned from your other EA games as well since its all tied to your account. So if you have SPORE and Red Alert 3 and you get yourself banned on our forums or in-game, well, your SPORE account would be banned to. It's all one in the same, so I strongly recommend people play nice and act mature."

Can they even do this? Where is the MapCore law expert when you need him?!?

Looks like somebody is really hurt. Mino you should apologize with a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolate!

Quote from Minotauro

Looks like a thing nma-fallout would do... only they would poison the cake before.

lol so true

You guys have it all wrong. It's all about Baja racing these days! And stealing box art and filing lawsuits! http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/news/ ... art/?biz=1

I must admit, this is quite arrant by Activision - the packshots are almost identical, this can't be coincidence can it?

This is why we need the spotlight galery back.

Does anyone remember "STUNT" for the PC? It came with a race track editor and was overall very awesome!

Ahhh Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit...those were the days.

Does Mario Kart count?
