Apparently, the Australian government does not like post apocalyptic scenarios too much. I say this because I can't see any other reason for the banning of the upcoming Bethesda title called Fallout 3 in the region. A governmental site shows the fact that the game has no rating at the moment but no official reas... |

The spring-summer cleaning spree has been started by Microsoft who banned the gamertag theGAYERgamer, as reported a few days ago and Nintendo is the one who follows with less sexual bans.

Fox News is slowly turning into a bigger, meaner Jack Thompson, with only one huge difference: the network's anti-gaming campaign does seem to have an impact on the gaming world and the public opinion. Which is both scary and unfair since, this time, there is absolutely no proof (not even some mad scientist paid... |

The well known game hater, Miami attorney and "campus shooting expert", Jack Thompson is one step closer to saying "Goodbye" to the gaming industry, since the Florida Supreme Court had him sanctioned and decided not to accept any lawsuit filings from him, from now on.

It is really strange to hear such a piece of news, having in mind that we are talking here about some pretty old games (indeed, still very popular) - both of them are about NINE years old! Well, it seems that it's never too late to go on a banning spree in Brazil. According to AFP, this ruling was made in Octob... |

Back in June, the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) banned Rockstar's violent horror title, Manhunt 2, while the ESRB gave it an AO (Adults Only) rating as far as its console versions were concerned. The developer of course reduced some of the graphical detail in order to give it a proper launch on con... |

Now this has got to be humiliating... But at least it turns out that even celebrities sometimes learn their lessons and want to prevent other celebrities from making fools of themselves. It happened to Sienna Miller, who despite looking better than usual and being the star attraction on the green carpet at the premie... |

Finally, someone out there wised up about Paris Hilton. Unfortunately, it's in Europe and since Paris doesn't spend too much of her time there it's not as effective as we might want it to be - but at least it's a beginning. Someone's shown some initiative in keeping the blonde heiress who thi... |

What you're about to hear will make Xbox 360 gamers that have complained about BioShock's installation procedure or widescreen issues seem like little babies. According to a forum post up on xboxic.com, some noobs actually managed to get their hands on Halo 3 (at least we can give them some credit for this)... |

Yes, fellow gamers, there is such thing as a "Whorecraft" movie, an X-rated production that borrows some of the characters and settings from the famous World of Warcraft MMORPG. The problem is that once you play a part in that movie, it's hard to believe that you'll ever be ditched by the unwanted fans. Th... |
