Nintendo's decision to slash the price of the 3DS only six months into its lifecycle may have thrown a spanner in the works for Sony's PS Vita plans, acrmtcng to a number of analysts. BIlly Pidgeon of M2 Research told IndustryGamers he thinks Sony will have to carefully consider its Vita pricing ahead of the portable's expected launch later this year. "When Sony announced PS Vita pricing at $249.99, 3DS price had to come down," he said. "PS Vita pricing feels compatible with value now, but unless the economy improves more rapidly, a price cut should come sooner rather than later."Jesse Divnich of EEDAR also said: "This price cut does put the Vita in a tough position. It all comes down to the content and if the Vita can deliver a library of high quality entertainment products, it should be able to thrive at the $249 price point."Meanwhile, David Cole of DFC Intelligence suggested the early 3DS price cut suggest Nintendo's feeling the heat from Vita. "I just looked at [Nintendo's] revised financial forecasts and they are ready to take a hit. They are really being aggressive. It is very unlike Nintendo to be willing to take such a loss."I think what it says is that they really feel the heat from the Sony Vita. I see it as a move to protect their market share and position in handhelds. I would not call it desperation but more a very aggressive defensive action by the market leader to hold on to market position."Earlier this week a Sony studio partner appeared to confirm reports that Vita's RAM was cut by the platform holder in order to make the device's price more competitive.

UK police arrest Anonymous, LulzSec suspe
British police arrested two men yesterday as part of a trans-Atlantic investigation into cyber attacks committed by hacking groups Anonymous and LulzSec. Scotland Yard said it picked up a 24-year-old and a 20-year-old from two separate UK addresses and seized a computer, Yahoo reports."The arrests relate to our enquiries into a series of serious computer intrusions and online denial-of-service attacks recently suffered by a number ormtfti-national companies, public institutions and government and law enforcement agencies in Great Britain and the United States," said detective inspector Mark Raymond from the Metropolitan Police's Central e-Crime Unit.Police also confirmed that a further two suspects were yesterday charged in relation to denial-of-service attacks carried out by Anonymous. They'll appear in court on September 7 alongside two others previously charged with the same offence, which carries a maximum sentence of ten years in prison.Anonymous was heavily linked to a hack attack on the PlayStation Network in April, which resulted in 77 million users' account details being compromised. Speaking yesterday, Sony CEO Howard Stringer said the PSN "is more secure and better than ever". Tom Ivan

Guild Wars
If it were perfect, I would have given it a perfect score. There are verrmty problems with the game but they exist none the less. I will not base this review off of technical junk for which I could care less about, it will be based from my experience.
Unfortunately I have only played free online games so I am sure many fanboys will tell me that I have not played any real video games. I assure you that that could not be further from the truth. My scores will be based on the game when set next to other games, not on the factrmt it is an MMO game.
But this site is about MMORPGs you say. Who cares?
To start off, the graphics are superb and there is nothing anyone can say otherwise. The sunflowers are beutiful, the sky is vibrant and the city is amazing. Then everything is destroyed, everygs dull and I'd rather be in the old world. Oh well, the graphics are still amazing. But I don't care about graphics because they don't affect gameplay.
To start out I was quite sad with the battle system, I'm sure I wohave been happier not to start off with a shooting wand. Perhaps a sword would have made the beginning more interesting but I'll never know. Still, I eventually got some skills and was happy again. Turns out it's impossible to do well with just hack and slash so you absolutely need your skills or you loose. Even as a fighter skills are necessary to win. Sure the animations are boreing but I don't care about graphics so I couln't have been happier with the battling.
You can start off with one other party members. You really don't need a party to start the game if you do you get my finger of shame, since that means you arn't useing your skills properly. You get to boost your party to four in the new world and need it, I never found three other PC members but could fill the empty slots with henchman so it's fine.
Most players are nice, but there are still the enevitable stupid people spamming. You can ignore them but you can still hear them on the trade channel. It's not as if I use the trade channel, but one day I might. It would be nif it ignored them on every channel, or if the had a heart attack in real life. But that's not realistic. At least I don't have to put up with people like that outside of town as it creates your own server which only you party is in. It's just human nature to have some stupid in the gene pool, I can't judge the game on them but on what is available to make the game a miserable experience for them so they leave or are ignored by all.
I played some Player vs Player and have yet to experience Guild vs Guild, but from what I've seen it's fun. The game is based off of Guild vs Guild and me not playing it does hurt my credibility. But you can expect, and I know, that it was made very well. All combinations have a strtegy that can obliterate another combination. Even the all mighty strategy of focusing all r for a one hit kill on the leader for automatic victory can be cast aside by a quick counterspell. So many possibilities make it a very fun feature with which I find few flaws.
Getting stuck is a problem with the game. Sometimes you get pinned againts obstacles which is really annoying, esspecially in battle. Once you get use to it it's easy to avoid though. There is also a problem of teleporting for no reson far in the direction you are going and then coming back to where you started a couple seconds later. This problem is rare and not detremental, but it cause you to become disoriented if you are in combat. Personally I have trouble somtimes choosing an enemy to hit when the camera angle will only let me choose myself.
All these problems don't happen so often as to affect the game much. But I would have given the game at least a nine if they were to be fix
Travel is great, just point and click to a city on the map. This doesn't mean you won't be traveling far as you have to find the city first before it becomes a place you can teleport to. This game has a huge map and this helps so very much to warp, whether it be to join in battle with a frier just to buy some equiptment.
The maximum level is tw, and at first such a low level confused me. That is until I realise the game wasn't about leveling up but about killing other players and guilds, or a least making youself feel better for having a superior strategy. The game really isn't about the individual but about the group, it's about making your guild and teamwork the best there is.
That is pretty much it. I know I've only played the game for six days and may grow tired of this game. But for now this is how I feel about this games triumphs and downfalls.

DICE No shooting civilians in Battlefiel
DICE has confirmed that Battlefield 3 players won't be able to shoot civilians. Speaking to RockPaperShotgun, executive producer Patrick Bach said the decision was made because the studio didn't want the game to become the subject of controversy."If you put the player in front of a choice where they can do good things or bad things, they will do bad things, go dark side - because people think it's cool to be naughty, they won't be caught," he explained."In a game where it's more authentic, when you have a gun in your hand and a child in front of you what would happen? Well the player would probably shoot that child. We would be the ones to be blamed. We have to build our experiences so we don't put the player in experiences where they can do bad things."Me personally, I'm trying to stay away from civilians in games like BF because I think people will do bad," Bach added. "I don't want to see videos on the internet where people shoot civilians. That's something I will sanitise by removing that feature from the game "We are trying to do something that is more mature. Mature not being gore - some people confuse the two. That's childish actually, to want mormtrood."DICE revealed last week that Battlefield 3 will support 24 players across all platforms in its Team Deathmatch mode, which won't feature vehicles.

But is it fun? G4's Miguel Concepcion visited the haunted vacation spot and brought back word on this glitchy but stirmtljoyable experience. Here's a taste of the review:What Dead Island might lack in gameplay originality, it certainly makes up for in shamelessly milking familiar zombie genre troupes. All you really need to know is you’re among the survivors of a zombie outbreak and you’re one of four playable characters who are mysteriously immune to the effects of bites from the infected. It’s a fine justification for why you’re the only ones going out in the open while everyone else is cowering in a lighthouse or church.Read the rest of our Dead Island review.

This game is totaly cool. You can gain money by buying gold in the site or fishing. The population of this game is very small but friendly. It is 3d, and for me its better than Sims online. You can build house and dress up. It has an anime feeling on it. Its enrmtg and the community speaks english too. The npcs are like the ones in Final Fantasy 8.
The sounds?? Very cool! It even has day/night modes and sometimes snow. IT IS FREE!

Rare GoldenEye duo make millions
Two former Rare developers who helped create GoldenEye and Perfect Dark are set to scoop over £11 million each from selling a stake in their own business. Russell Irwin and Beau Cheslukho founded online advertising company Telemetry after leaving the UK developer three years agoTelemetry records data on the number of people who click through after watching online ads. Irwin and Chesluk, alongside co-founder Anthony Rushton, are in talks to sell a 20.4% stake in the start-up Telemetry. If the deal goes through, they will scoop £11.4 million a piece. And, presumably, dance like loons - perhaps even in front of Kinect Sports.Buyers interested in the stake are said to include Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse. If Telemetry is sold for the target price, it will value the three-year-old company at £175m. Mr Rushton confirmed that the company was in talks to sell the stake but refused to identify bidders. Several London venture capitalists are thought to be interested in buying into the company. Deloitte has been brought in to ready the company for sale. They predict the company will be worth $786m (£486m) by 2014.Mr Rushton said the sale would be used to gauge the interest of institutional investors ahead of a London flotation by 2015: "We are growing rapidly and need to sell equity in the business in order to become a $1bn online video company before we float in a few years." Last year's adjusted profits were £5m on sales of £24m, the firm said.The company recently signed a three-year deal tormt ver and monitor ads for Reckitt Benckiser, maker of Cillit Bang, Dettol and Strepsils. It has also signed a deal with Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest brewer and home to Stella Artois, Beck's and Budweiser. Tim Ingham

Starcraft 2 Journey to Diamond League Wk8
By Mohammad Abubakr, OnRPG JournalistIf you missed any of the previous weeks in my journey to diamond league, check out the Starcraft II review section. (http://www.onrpg.com/MMO/Starcraft-II/reviews)Games played: 10 Initial Rank: Silver - 42 Final Rank: Silver - 38 Win/Loss: 5/5The first game in week eight of my journey to diamond league was against a Protoss. My opponent decided to open with the four gate pressure build. This is an all-in build as players continue to warp in units and do not focus on their economy. This means that if their opponent is able to hold the attacks without taking significant damage, they are in trouble.After getting cheesed and fending off all-ins all of last week, I continuously scouted my opponent. I did see four gates in his base very early on but no sign of units; there was only one zealot to block the ramp. I thought it was safe to continue droning and building up an economy but a large army took me by surprise.The Protoss race has the ability to warp in units anywhere there is a pylon. My opponent simply hid a pylon on the map and continued to warp in an army at a hidden location. Since I was unprepared and only had drones, I was unable to fend off the attack. I did not have a lot of experience against proxy pylons so I was not expecting this; I'll be sure to stop scouting only their bases and begin looking at the entire map.The following game I tried a hatch first build against a Protoss for the very first time. I was very lucky that he was located as far as possible from my base so I was safe from early aggression. The early expansion allowed me to enhance my income very early. As the game progressed I was too far ahead with my four bases against his two. I was able to reinforce my army a lot quicker than him which resulted in his base being overrun.Later that day I was put up against another Protoss. He played very passively and continued to increase his army size. He was most likely trying to max out his army and then finish the game. However, that is very hard to do on one base. He expanded very late and by that time my mutalisks were able to continuously poke his expansion, denying mining time. After realizing how far ahead I was, I simply morphed a large army and finished him.My game against rmtag did not go so well. I did my typical 14 pool 14 gas opening and then transitioned into banelings after saturating my expansion. My opponent was commanding a roach army; banelings are not very good against roaches. I thought I would be fine since I moved over to produce mutalisks as they are good against roaches. However, I made a very big mistake to clump up my mutalisks. This was a very bad move because his army contained infestors.Infestors have an amazing spell called fungal growth which targets an area to snare and apply damage over time to units. Normally it takes multiple fungal growths to kill an entire army but I made a huge mistake. I clumped up my mutalisks so that one fungal growth would hit them all. After my mutalisks were dead, I was unable to fend off his roaches with just zerglings and banelings. I was forced to concede.Recently I have been facing a lot of opponents that decide to construct their second base not at their natural. This allows them to give the illusion of only having one base as opponents assume they have not expanded after checking their natural expansion. This strategy does not seem very viable to me as if your hidden expansion gets scouted, you will have a difficult time defending it.A Zerg player tried this strategy against me. At first I was unaware of his hidden expansion and though he was going to do a one base all-in. I continued to scout his base to allow myself to see when the attack was coming and to learn what tech paths he was taking.When I saw enemy mutalisks in my base coming from an odd direction, I knew something was up. Firstly, mutalisks are quite hard to support on only one base because they take a lot of vespene gas; each base only has two gas geysers. Secondly, the mutalisks approached from an odd angle. Finally, there was no spire in his main base.After I located his hidden expansion I was easily able to deny mining time by attacking both bases simultaneously. Since he did not have any creep connecting his bases as an attempt to keep it hidden, he was unable to defend.The final game we will talk about this week was against a Terran. The Terran player played very passively but continued to deny scouting information. I should have known something was up but I did not react. When cloaked banshees showed up at my base I had nothing to detect them with. I quickly setup some evolution chambers to get out some spore crawlers but too much damage was done. If I had remembered that I could morph overlords into overseers to get detection, I would easily have been able to hold with three queens. However, I completely forgot about overseers and was forced to concede.I achieved my goal of ranking higher than my initial rank. Hopefully this trend will continue and my rank will rise even higher next week.If there are any suggestions or feedback about this series, please let me know on the OnRPG forums (http://www.onrpg.com/boards/) @ Abubakr (http://www.onrpg.com/boards/member-abubakr.html). Alternatively you may message me in Starcraft II (Abubakr, 109).

Halo 4 video 343 talks pressures of expe
343 Industries has released another two videos for Halo 4 following the Halo Fest panel this weekend. The first is a developer diary in which the game's executive producer, who's actually called Kiki Wolfkill, says "one of the most exciting parts of Halo 4 is really this team that we've brought together". Confident of Halo 4's future despite the departurermt eries creators Bungie, Wolfkill adds: "It's a team that brings a lot of talent and a lot of past accomplishments and I think we all came together and we were so excited about things that we set out do, it's been a challenge to not be able to talk about it."The other is a quick snippet of footage of the dev team taking to the great outdoors to record explosions - presumably for weapon fire. These join the Halo 4 video we posted yesterday which offered a look at some of the concept art and a preview of the soundtrack tone 343 has cooked up for the game so far.343 also revealed last weekend that Halo 4 is the first episode of the 'Reclaimer Trilogy'.

CrimeCraft Review Hot town, Summer in the
Every time I've played I've seen a busy and vibrant game. There are plenty of different areas to play the different game modes in and even just wandering around the city is a bit of a treat. The only fleeting dark cloud over Sunshine City was a chance encounter with a cheater. One single guy, out of however many people I have killed and been killed by, stooped so low as to hack the game to avoid damage. Try and never be thrmtay kids. Even his own team was disgusted and petitions were sent. Though as I said, it was something I've only ever experienced once.。
。
。
The occasional cheater (who are lower than a very low thing)。
。
。
。
Shootout。
。
。
Set in a not too distant future, CrimeCraft paints a post apocalyptic cityscape that has suffered the ravages of war and rampant gang warfare inrmt rld where anyone can eventually wave around a rocket launcher.。Stockpile。 。
。
Admittedly the character creator in CrimeCraft isn't the most in-depth I have ever come across. A smattering of hair and skin colours, a few tops, bottoms and shoes as well. Most of the stuff in the creator is the same thin a different colour, but you know what? That's okay. Don't get too attached to your threads, you'll be replacing them as you earn the cash. Though it doesn't look it, even the humble baseball cap can add to your characters resistances and stats.。
。
Pros。
You've got two options in the world painted for you by Vogster Entertainment in their Free to Play MMOFPS CrimeCraft. You can either scrape by in the anarchy outside the walls or you can sign up and play by the rules and be admitted to Suns City. Sure it isn't the best slice of real estate this side of pretty much anywhere but it works. People have got homes, homes have got power and the raw meat recruits help keep the chaos, the squatters and sometimes the Feds at bay.。
Personally I could see myself having quite a good time in CrimeCraft. I've barely scratched the surface in my chosen crafting profession (of which there are four and they branch later on giving two specialities each). I've investigated the cash shop but haven't yet felt the need to use it. I've plenty more to do in this online shooter. I can't say I've ebeen able to say the same about some of the others I've played in my time.。
。
PVP。
。
On the PvE side of things these boil down to a mode where you guard an objective, a mode where have to grab up all the supplies you can for your own gain and finally a mode where you, with a team, flush out a particularly tough mob and try to take him or her down.。
。
。
。
。
I've had a blast in CrimeCraft. The tutorial area is very well lait and gently eases you into the particulars of CrimeCraft without appearing to be holding your hand. From crawling all over an oil rig taking pot shots at the Feds with just a pistol and knife at my disposal to my quick introduction to some of the heavier weapons (literally a mission to paste 10 guys with a Rocket Launcher. Massive fun but short lived) I felt I was given a good grounding in the PvE side of the game. The in game Newspaper works as a quick newbie FAQ which I found helpful. The in game pay phone adds achievements to my career by giving me extra little missions to complete during my time played.。
。
Fast paced multi game mode online shooter
Gorgeous graphics and detailed maps
Good interaction from the developers on Twitter, Facebook and in the game.。
Riot。
。Safeguard。
As with any game, communication is key, but even without it the PvE modes are quite fun and people eventually get their act ther and work together.。
。
。
Riot is the classic free for all death match. If it moves, kill it. Maybe try killing it a little even if it doesn't move.s why they gave you a knife after all.。
。
。
。
。
...back of my neck getting dirty and gritty.。
Ps. I learned the hard way. Snipers mine behind themselves. Also, glowy red things aren't an objective, the armed grenades. Don't stand on them.。
The setting earns CrimeCraft its street cred with me. Vogster had an idea of the game they wanted to make and merged it well into the setting presented. The world as you know it has gone and the only way to survive is to sign up to protect Sunshine City, even if that occasionally (read: Almost always) means coming to blows with otherizens.。 。
。
。
Snatch N' Grab。
Taken all together, wearing the right clothes with the right abilities and pocketing the right boosts are all just a step towards victory. A step that will end with snipers round in the headyou aren't careful.。
。
We've got fun 'n' games. Also a bunch of game modes to shake your mouse at.。
。
Cons。
Robbery。
。
Shootout is Team Death Match. Make the other guys dead more often than they kill you.。
。
Turf War is a fun, point capture game. There are five points spread out; everyone starts with one and whoever gets all five w Failing that, the winner is whoever finished the round with the most under control.。
。
Robbery is straightforward. Get to the other teams safe to steal cash, run it back to yours. Most cash wins at the end. Don't think it's easy though. People are tigith their money.。
CrimeCraft Review: Hot town, Summer in the City...
By Jonathan (Ardua) Doyle OnRPG Journalist。
。Headhunter。
。
。
On the PvP side of life... you have classics. They may have different names but honestly, why bother trying to ive on FPS gold?。
If a shooter isn't your type of game, it's unlikely CrimeCraft will be. This is a well-crafted and gorgeous looking online shooter with MMORPG aspects. This also isn't comparable to APB if only because first, I never played APB and second, I can't. If you crave a world like that of Grand Theft Auto only shoved online and through an apocalypse, this is the world for you. Well worth looking into. Just keep your eyes peeled, I might have you in my sights.。
Snatch N' Grab is the ever classic Capture the Flag. They have one; you want it, what more is there to say?。。
。
。
。
Well it would wouldn't it? After all this isn't your normal city and being clean takes a back seat to stayalive. This is Sunshine City. This is the OnRPG CrimeCraft review.。
。
It's not just the clothes that make the manwoman. Augmentations and boosts play a part as well. Abilities are equipable enhancements that can give you extra resistances, allow you to become invisible for a short period or even heal you slowly over time once you've taken a beating. Boosts on the other hand are timed buffs that you can buy from vendors for a particular effect.。
