Kill Kast 10: California’s Fight Against Violent Games (Spawnkill.com)

Eric Galaviz of Spawnkill.com writes:

"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!"

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.

rrquinta5038d ago

Did you listen to the podcast??

Dan505038d ago

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.

It's like they're not even trying anymore

Kavorklestein1620d ago (Edited 1620d ago )

Are you serious? This month is just fine... Jurassic World Evolution is awesome, and Toy Story 3 is actually a fun and decent Licensed game... Castlevania is also a great game... What's it gonna take to be considered "Ok" or decent? Maybe Microsoft should just pay your mortgage and you'll finally stop bitching.. seriously what is so bad with this month? I completely disagree with you, But I also love castlevania, toy story, and Jurassic park in general, maybe you do not, and that's fine I suppose. Doesn't make this month shit tho.

vfl5231620d ago

@Kavorklestein Come out from underneath Phil Spencer's desk so we can have a real conversation.

RpgSama1620d ago (Edited 1620d ago )

Every month it's more proof that they don't care anymore about offering a good deal with games with gold and that they're putting all of their eggs into the game pass basket.

RacerX1619d ago

Just making sure they can upsell Gamepass for real games.

UltraNova1619d ago (Edited 1619d ago )

The writing is on the wall. I will not be surprised if someday soon they axe Games with Gold all together.

antz11041620d ago

I'm kind of excited for Jurassic World

Da12RespectA1619d ago

More like 💩💩💩 28169;. Fixed

DJStotty1619d ago (Edited 1619d ago )

what is poor about 4 free games?

I see what you mean though, GWG is poor we have only had 124 free games (xbox one only) /s

like PS+ games as well you mean?

"Once your PlayStation Plus membership ends, content you previously downloaded at no cost as part of the membership (such as Plus Monthly Games) will no longer be available. However, free avatars and content you purchased at a discounted PlayStation Plus price is yours to keep."

@cradatrucl yes they are free, you pay xbox live to play online, surely as a gamer you know this already.

"Free Games purchased in Games with Gold will still be yours if you cancel gold membership, you can play them offline and with a free membership. Once you purchase the games in Xbox Live you can re-download them whenever you want (if they are still available on XBL and have not been removed"

Mirror of Fate is a really good CV game. The rest I'm unfamiliar with.

0rbital711620d ago

wooooah no no mirror of fate is by far the worst castlevania game ever made, comon have some sense pls

darthv721620d ago

I disagree. I mean it's no CV: SotN but it isnt CV: Judgement either. It's right there in the middle.

Ricegum1620d ago

Of course Darth, of course. Why do I get the feeling that if it were Sony offering this rubbish we'd never hear the end of it with you.

gangsta_red1619d ago (Edited 1619d ago )

If it were Sony he would still be unfamiliar with those games

darthv721619d ago

Mirror of fate is on ps3. If I had plus Id say the same thing. Its a good game.

darthv721619d ago

Actually... i did comment on the plus offerings and like that titanfall 2 is free for members.

Why are you worried what I think anyways? I dont crap on sony like you do on ms. I play both systems... how bout you rice?

Movefasta19931620d ago

At this point, just scrap gmg and merge games pass with live for extra 10.

gangsta_red1620d ago

Agreed, these offerings are becoming insulting now.

RpgSama1620d ago

Exactly, now you're paying GwG JUST to play online because the games have been disgraceful for the last 4 to 5 months, might as well merge the services.

The Wood1619d ago

Maybe that's their plan and has been for a while.

Majin-vegeta1620d ago

Toy story 3 is actually a good game

littletad1620d ago

It is, but it's still a very old game and a crappy month.

A Look Back at Disney Games on PlayStation Handhelds

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."

Toy Story 3 on PS3 was really excellent

EddieNX 2484d ago

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.

Gh05t2483d ago

Toy Story 2 on PS1 was probably my favorite game to just run around and have fun in.

Relientk772483d ago

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
