Brilliant Five-Word Reviews of 94 Video Games [Brevity]

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

Haiku is so overdone, and would be verbose compared to these spot-on assessments of nearly 100 video games, done in just five words by Games Radar. Some rate a spoiler alert. More »

Rhode Island bill proposes jail time for retailers who sell “M” rated games to kids

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

Filed under: ,

It’s been a while since a state has proposed regulating sales of video and PC games (perhaps because all of the previous attempts have been deemed unconstitutional) but the state of Rhode Island now has a bill going through its state legislature that, if passed into law, would impose fines and perhaps even some jail time for retailers that sell games that are rated “M” or “AO” to minors.

As expected, GamePolitics reports that the Entertainment Software Association has already announced its opposition to the bill, saying, “This bill is the same as all the other legislative proposals found unconstitutional by numerous federal courts.” What is unexpected is that the bill is also opposed by former Florida attorney and video game critic Jack Thompson. He’s quoted as saying, “Since 1930, it has been unconstitutional to restrict the sale of entertainment products to anyone based upon a private sector standard, which the ESRB ratings are.” However he hasn’t made a big change in his attitude towards games. Thompson will be giving his advice to Rhode Island lawmakers in an attempt to make their bill pass muster.

Three new Perfect Dark XBLA gameplay vids

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

Three new Perfect Dark XBLA gameplay vids screenshot

You’ve been itching to get your hands on Perfect Dark for XBLA haven’t you? You’re just dying to see what the full levels look like in 60 fps and hi-def visuals. The game doesn’t land until this Wednesday though! What to do‽ What to do‽ There’s no way you’re going to make it!

Just settle down. Video.Destructoid has you covered. We’ve just put up three levels from the upcoming release and you can see just how smoothly the game runs through all of them. I’m getting nostalgia flashbacks already and I’m only a minute into the first video. Oh, old school night vision goggles that simply turned everything green and black. Actually, that is all modern night vision goggles in games do too.

I was actually on the fence about buying this since I’ve got the N64 hooked up to my TV and can play any time, but seeing the run-throughs of these levels has pushed me over to downloading time. Come on Wednesday, get here sooner.
