A weird rumour has popped up on the internal stock market over night with Reuters of all people posting that Microsoft are looking at purchasing EA Games in full. The rumour is currently being looked at seriously with shares in EA Games shooting up by 8% but really can really be good for the gaming industry. I would highly doubt …

I think any logical and slightly intelligent person can agree that the fact that horror’s, porno’s and drug saturated movies are allowed to be sold in Australia but yet games aimed at the adult population aren’t is a bit of a farce.

If a planning document that showed up on SEGA’s PR site holds any truth – and indications are that it does – then SEGA have just inadvertently let the PS3 backwards compatibility cat out of the bag. The document details all sorts of SEGA and Sony hand-holding, but the references …
