The Daily ‘Shroom – 12/14/06
- Yahoo! reports that the controversial video game Left Behind: Eternal Forces is becoming the focus of the ire of Christian groups…
…who evidently had no problem with a series of books about the aftermath of the Rapture, but as soon as it’s told in pixels, it’s evil.
- So, the guys at All I Want for Xmas is a PSP decided to come clean, and admit the entire thing was a sham.
But at least they’ll still be updating it.
Frankly, when I first saw it (and before it was exposed), I didn’t even bother reporting on it, nor watching all the way through, because of how bad it was.
Pity others didn’t follow suite, or even lead as such. As a result, it seems that the campaign has worked in some capacity, unless you believe that there is a such thing as bad publicity.
Still, most of Sony’s ads are just awful, and it seems I’m not alone in that assertion.
Next-Gen was able to get a few questions about the site answered by Sony brass.
- Some tidbits have surfaced regarding the next possible 007 movie, based on the Ian Fleming short story Risico.
- There’s also some talk about the new costumes for the Batman Begins sequel, The Dark Knight.
BoF’s insider added, “It’s not going to be a suit that is tailored for him, but more something he acquired. I mean, what tailor would actually make a suit for The Joker?”
Knowing the Joker? Just about anyone he tells to.
- Just a note for those looking to get a Wii at Best Buy. Go Nintendo reports that you may have to wait until the 17th to get one.
Oh, and you can scratch GameStop (and likely EB Games) off your list, too.
- Go Nintendo reports that the answer to your Wii remote battery problems is here.
- Wait, what? Capcom… listening to feedback… BEFORE a game’s release?
Will wonders never cease? Maybe if we tell them we want more Mega Man Classic, X, and Legends, they’ll listen to that, too.
…naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
- I’ve said often enough that one of the biggest draws for the PlayStation 3, to me, is the backwards compatibility, as I lack a PS2 to call my own.
Well, scratch that. Besides issues with playing some games, it has been documented that no matter what you do, playing PS2 games on a PS3 make them look worse.
From the sounds of things, Sony’s taking the “we know best” attitude towards what consumers want (not that they’re the only ones). And it seems a fix isn’t in the cards yet, either.
- If you happen to own Loco Roco for the PSP, then it may interest you to know that a special holiday level is now available.
