As big of a statement as,”EA Files Copyright Infringement Lawsuit Against Zynga” is, are people really surprised? Let me bring you up to speed, EA has a Facebook game called, “The Sims Social” which launched this time last year. June 2012 saw Zynga release,”The Ville”, which to call it similar is like saying 7-up and Sprite are kind of in the same realm of taste. Let’s just say there were some noticeable direct ripoffs similarities...

Assassin’s Creed, as a series, have always had an interestingly crafted story with interesting characters. The stories, set in the backdrop of the 12th century, Renaissance Italy, and with Assassin’s Creed 3 taking place in the Revolutionary War, all the tales of the Assassins all felt steeped in some sort of reality. This only served as reason enough that novels would be made, and with 3 books already in circulation, author Oliver Bowden is set to release his...

Call of Duty is still a thing. A very BIG thing. or as one Penn Jillette would call it a BFD (listen to his podcast, Penn’s Sunday School to figure out what it means!). Apparently Bobby Kotick seems to also agree that COD is a BFD. So much so, that he was in Shanghai to announce that Activision Blizzard were going to team up with Tencent -one of the biggest online entities in China- to bring Call of Duty Online. What makes this interesting is that A: It is only going...

That was ten years ago dudes! And to celebrate a decade of MMO nonsense, Square Enix hosted a fan event in Yokohama, Japan last weekend and it was there that they announced Seekers of Adoulin, the...
