As E3 is a-coming, we expected to have a more barren list of releases for this week. It seems that we were quite wrong about that. New games include anime platforming coming from the big-headed kids of Code Lyoko. NCAA 2009 represents the sports games, meanwhile Go! Explore device finally out in Europe.
NA Games:
Code Lyoko: Quest for Infinity
NCAA Football 2009
EU Games:
Go! Explore
Asian Games:
Gundam Battle Universe
HimeHibi: Princess Days Portable
While the TomTom iPhone app might make the planet's most lusted after mobile a full-on satnav, what if you want to turn your Sony PSP into a fully fledged PND? Well, that's where PSP Go! Explore comes in. An add-on for Sony's handheld, can it replace your regular mapper?
As GamePolitics has reported, Electronic Arts may soon face a lawsuit by retired NFL players who believe their likenesses were unlawfully incorporated into EA's best-selling Madden game. But former college players now want their slice of EA's money pie as well.
SF Weekly reports that a one-time college quarterback is now making the same claim as NFL retirees in regard to EA's popular NCAA Football and NCAA Basketball franchises. Samuel Keller (left), formerly of Arizona State and Nebraska, is the lead plaintiff in the class action suit.
But College athletes aren't allowed to be payed. A roster download is done by third parties, and merely makes renaming every player in the game much, much quicker. Which is what many gamers will do anyway.
And the players aren't always right anyway. Austin English (#33) from OU is black in NCAA 2008, but is clearly white in real life.
I don't know what he wants EA to do, they aren't allowed to pay the players, and gamers want to play as the players. It's a lose-lose.
411mania talks about this week's game releases. Highlights include DeathSmiles, Little King's Story, Fallout Trilogy, and Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2.
