Pretty cool, although I do wonder how Nintendo expects to sell another Mario side-scroller ever again. This one game renders every single 2D/2.5D Mario obsolete. Has anyone heard if there's going to be a ban on recreating levels wholesale from the previous games? Eg. could you theoretically...

Sure you have Ubisoft. I'm sure your next game won't be an over-hyped, abhorrently optimised and broken POS on release.

"<Fils-Aime> believed it had to focus on reinventing older franchises in order to keep them from becoming stale." Umm.. You what mate? Nintendo have been remaking the same games for the past 3 decades. Legend of Zelda? Super Mario? Mario Kart, Smash Bros., Pikmin, Donkey Kong, etc.? Don't...

Well here in Australia it IS illegal, and as such they should be held accountable. Not that I expect anything to come of it of course. Publishers who pull this crap can go f*ck themselves, especially 2K since they inflate the price for Australians on Steam to start with. $75 USD for GTA V as...

"Satoru Iwata says the company is thinking internally about what has to be done to make the NX region free." Umm... just don't put a freaking region lock on it? Being region free didn't kill either the PS3 or the 360 (the latter of which was mostly region free). If the concern is "Oh no! We...

Actually, all works published in the United States post-1923 but before 1977 are protected for 95 years after their initial publication, or 120 years after creation if they weren't published, whichever comes first. Any works created after 1977 are protected for the author's lifetime plus an...

Gee, I'm sure all the artists who performed those tracks back in the 20s-50s are glad they're still getting paid royalties. Especially the dead ones. Copyright Law: Protecting the rights of dead people since 1976.

Glad to hear that Paramount has finally seen the light and told Orci to f*ck off. Sounds like whatever script he and his amateur-hour colleagues had previously devised was so horrid even the studio must have seen it was just absolute trash. Maybe this, together with his loss of the director's...

Unless it's a permanent thing that Nintendo can't patch out, then exploits like this are pretty useless. No one in their right mind would buy up a library of games from other regions if there was even the slightest chance that they would be rendered unplayable by some future update. While I...

Neat, but you have to feel for the effects guys. All that work just for it to end up looking like CGI anyway.

"The series is the brainchild of Man of Steel screenwriter David Goyer..." Aaaaand I've instantly lost interest.

Ohhh I see what's happened. Somehow Paramount's entry into the Razzies accidentally got sent to the Oscars. THAT makes more sense! For a second there I thought Paramount had been overrun by a bunch of brainless, drooling idiots.

Best news I've heard for this rebooted franchise in quite a while. Just a pity he's still writing the script. Now if only he and his former writing partners would announce they're retiring altogether, that would be truly fantastic. Seriously, has Orci or Alex Kurtzman ever actually written a...

Are they sure they haven't got this around the wrong way? Wouldn't it make more sense to have Will Smith play Deadshot and Jai Courtney play Captain Boomerang since he's actually, you know, an Australian? Besides which, I think Will Smith could be a pretty interesting Deadshot.

I knew this was coming. I saw the game running at PAX Aus a week ago and I could see that the framerate was well below 30fps. I figured that maybe it was just an earlier build for the sake of the demo. Turns out, nope! It was the final, release ready version! Nice job Ubisoft. If your current...
