<title>Horror Action Brought to Life with Larva Mortus</title>
<link>http://news.softpedia.com/news/Horror-Action-Brought-to-Life-with-Larva-Mortus-85454.shtml</link>
<description><![CDATA[Every now and then, a small little game gets released and it offers you a few unforgettable hours: lots of fun, mad mouse clicking and countless enemies to destroy. It just happens that this week&#039;s game responsible for all the "during-breaks" fun is called Larva Mortus, coming from the Czech developers Rake in Grass. A real joy to play, a challenge to master, this little game is definitely addictive and mind blowing. What makes it even more enjoyable is the fact that, actually, you have pla...]]></description>

<title>Sony European Boss Disappointed with PSP Sales</title>

<description><![CDATA[Although the PlayStation Portable is enjoying a very good period in Japan, with sales almost the double of those posted by long time rival Nintendo DS, the handheld is just not as popular in Europe. Clearly, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe is just not happy with the situation.

Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, David Reeves has admitted that this might be an issue related to the relative lack of new content for the gaming system, while also saying that cultural differences can be partially bla...]]></description>

<title>Activision Brings the Big Adventure to Wii</title>
<link>http://news.softpedia.com/news/Activision-Brings-the-Big-Adventure-to-Wii-85441.shtml</link>
<description><![CDATA[The games in the Pitfall series have sold more than 10 million units to date and it seemed as if it was only a matter of time until a new Pitfall game was released. Apparently, the wait will be over by the end of the year, since Activision plans to release Pitfall: The Big Adventure to the Nintendo Wii consoles this fall.

With its classy, cartoonish visuals and probably support for the motion-sensing controller, the game will allow players to explore the Peruvian jungles. And we all know that...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Right on time, Nintendo&#039;s promised WiiWare service has been launched in North America, with a bunch of games available for download and promising an exciting, fun future for all the Nintendo Wii fans in the world. Already released in Japan (with a different lineup of games, though), the WiiWare service has proven to be a winning move made by Nintendo – the downloads don&#039;t seem to stop and the Wii Points are going straight into the company&#039;s pockets. And, what matters most – everyb...]]></description>

<title>Microsoft Playing up GTA IV Impact on Console Sales</title>
<link>http://news.softpedia.com/news/Microsoft-Playing-Up-GTA-IV-Impact-on-Console-Sales-85501.shtml</link>
<description><![CDATA[Microsoft is clearly trying to pull out the numbers to prove just how much the Xbox 360 is growing, now that the "killer app" that is Grand Theft Auto IV has been launched. The company is now claiming that 40% of the new Xbox sales within the first week of GTA IV&#039;s launch have been bundled with the game.

A recent statement from Microsoft also says that 60% of the sales of the gang life game were for the Xbox 360, with only 40% going to the PlayStation 3. Even earlier than that, Microsoft...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The hype surrounding the highly anticipated release of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures keeps growing as the latest release date announced by Funcom (the 20th of May) is getting closer and closer, and it seems that no delay is in sight. However, before the release of the MMORPG, Funcom has posted the financial results for the first quarter – and it could&#039;ve been better.

With earnings before interest and tax loss of $3.13 million (compared to $1.21 million loss last year), Funcom declare...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Most of the gamers on the planet seem to hate Uwe Boll for his poor movies, but the German director doesn&#039;t really care about that. With ten movies released in eight years (you can find three of these titles on the IMDB Bottom 100 films list), an online petition initiated by video game fans in order to stop him from creating movies (he said that 1 million signatures would be enough to make him retire) and many beloved game franchises ruined, Uwe Boll is a man that seems to know that bad pub...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It might sound strange now, but PlayStation 2 exclusives are still being developed and - what matters most for us – really good games have hit the market for the last-gen console. One of the game developers that still has faith in the powers of the PS2 is Agetec and it has already announced Falling Stars, an RPG game that will be released during this summer.

Even though the game won&#039;t be something you could call "eye-candy" and despite the story being a bit odd, we should really apprecia...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We all know that casual games go hand in hand with the Nintendo Wii console; from this perspective, it is only a matter of time until all casual game developers head to the beloved console, leaving PC systems only with hardcore games for the real players. To prove that, Majesco Entertainment and Sandlot Games have decided to re-create their hit game Cake Mania for the Nintendo Wii.

<description><![CDATA[What&#039;s better than playing Starcraft II and maybe, just maybe, Diablo III? Some would say that going to a BlizzCon is one experience that can&#039;t be matched by playing games, a one in your lifetime opportunity to go deep into the gaming nexus that is Blizzard. If you&#039;re a Blizzard fan, you can be cheery, as another Blizzard-themed convention is coming.

<description><![CDATA[Burnout Paradise is an open-ended, open world racing simulator that places the emphasis on the possibilities granted by the simulation of an entire Hawaiian island in the game. It was released for the Xbox 360 and on the PlayStation 3 and, apparently, it did well enough to warrant a PC port. Electronic Arts has just announced that the game is being ported to the PC, with the intention to release it before the end of the year, although no official date has been set for the launch.

<description><![CDATA[The game fighting against Gran Turismo for the number one racing game spot, Race Driver: GRID has recently received a demo, available on both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles. But Codemasters probably considered that a game as wonderful as GRID deserves much more than a demo before its official release, so they have decided to put a BMW 3-series up for grabs (the real car, not an unlockable one from the game).

This means that, if you want to enter the competition, you only have to download...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Just when everybody though that the economy and Iraq would play the most important role in the United States presidential elections later in the year, it seems that at least one candidate is thinking about videogames and their impact on American society, in the larger context of talk about media in the United States. One of Barack Obama’s latest campaign stops in Indianapolis led to this statement in which he even name-checked a game (there&#039;s also a video at the end of the article).

<description><![CDATA[After Call of Duty 4 turned out to be one of the major revenue sources for Activision in the fiscal year that ended on March 31, Activision decided to announce more details regarding the next installment in the series, which, for now, is called Call of Duty 5.

Activision sought to eliminate all ambiguity regarding the platforms on which the game will be available. Mike Griffith, who is the Chief Executive Officer for the Publishing division of Activision, has stated that "We&#039;ll launch on...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Formula One games have been largely neglected as of late, even as the Formula 1 Championship is becoming more and more entertaining, with the reign of Michael Schumacher finally over and a host of new, young, hungry for victory pilots battling it out of the title. So, it was only a matter of time till a publisher made a move to publish a new Formula 1 game. Somewhat surprisingly, that publisher is Codemasters.

<description><![CDATA[The Tony Hawk skating games haven&#039;t been doing very well lately. Electronic Arts managed to release a Skate game that pretty much outdid the Tony Hawk franchise in sales numbers, while Activision was more focused on its gigantic revenue creators, like Call of Duty 4 and Guitar Hero III, to put some new moves on the old skate game. But all that&#039;s about to change.

<description><![CDATA[If you wanted to become a firefighter and never got the chance, the Nintendo Wii will soon offer you a game to ease the pain – Real Heroes: Firefighters. Developed by Epicenter Studios and distributed by Conspiracy Entertainment, the game is set to hit the North American game shops in the second quarter of 2009. Having in mind that the game is under development since late 2007, we could dare to hope for a perfect Wii title (even though I personally doubt something like that even exists).

The game sold on all three of the game consoles that Sony has so far created, the PlayStation, PS2 and, of course, the PlayStation 3. 

It has taken the game just a little over ten years and only seven installments in the franchise to reach this phenomenal sales number. The most recent installm...]]></description>

The entire story and especially the details are not fully known at the moment, since the two teens are still in hospital and three of the kidnappers have not been caught yet by the police forces.

Now Microsoft&#039;s own Aaron Greenberg is answering Sony on those claims and not on the best of terms.

<description><![CDATA[For every game out there that sets out to be a serious simulation of a field, be it infantry operations, politics or sports, there is bound to also be a humorous approach to the same subject. For every Armed Assault there&#039;s a Wolfenstein, for every Political Machine there&#039;s an animal kingdom equivalent. And for every game that ever tried to represent the Major League Baseball season with pinpoint statistics and general realism, we now have Konami and 2K&#039;s MLB Power Pros 2008.

We shouldn&#039;t be afraid of losing our rights to play any of these games if we don&#039;t have an Internet connection, since Electronic Arts have announced that none of the games will require the periodic check anymore.
