"In this week’s episode of Spawn Kill’s official podcast, Eric, Rebecca, and Dana get together to discuss some recent news which includes Hulu Plus, PSN+, and the California Video Game Law that is headed to the U.S. Supreme Court. We let you in on how we feel about California’s Law which is intended to prevent minor’s from purchasing M-rated games, an issue that is sure to spark conversation. We also spend a bit of time discussing some of the games we’ve been playing which includes APB, Toy Story 3, and Rebecca’s ever-growing list of games. Be sure to let us know what you guys think about the new music and our opinions on the California Bill. We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening!"
Major Nelson: For the month of December, Xbox Live Gold members will receive four new free games - two on Xbox One and two on Xbox 360
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "There are few brands out there that have anything like the appeal and recognition of Disney. Thanks to decades of beautiful and critically acclaimed animated films, the company is a household name that has expanded beyond just movies to include a variety of other ventures, including videogames. Disney has also grown its lineup considerably in recent years by acquiring Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars (although for the purposes of this article, I’ll only be covering Disney/Pixar output).
Thanks to their broad audience, Disney games usually show up on every viable platform out there, meaning that despite the brand’s affinity with Nintendo’s younger-skewing audience, both the PSP and Vita received a number of titles throughout their lives. Some of this was through Disney's own developer/publisher (Disney Interactive Studios), but the firm also licensed out its IPs for other companies to try their hand at – with somewhat mixed results."
With Toy Story debuting in the Kingdom Hearts universe, WWG looks back at the ups and downs from Woody and Buzz's previous video game adventures.
1 and 2 on PS1 were amazing, I remember being amazed by the graphics, they really nailed the level design and scale of the toys compared to the rooms.
I remember playing Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue, when I stayed home from school because I was sick.
It's really fun, great game
This issue has been talked to death about on N4G. There are myths that this bill will make M-rated games illegal, that it will essentially destroy gaming as we know it. The only thing this bill does is make it illegal to sell M-rated games to minors, with possible fines for store clerks who do so. Honestly, is selling games to minors such an integral part to our culture that we have to fight tooth and nail against it? I think not.
I do not support this legislation, but it is by no means a dealbreaker. Those of us above 17 will still be able to enjoy our games unhindered.
As for the Supreme Court, they won't even think about passing this bill. Even Scalia knows the law well enough to vote against it.
They will be treated the same as AO rated games. AO games are not allowed in stores and consoles. This will make all M games heavily censored and be treated like games are in Germany and Australia.
