MadCatz Get Mad – MaxConsole Fights Back

By Nick De Bruyne
December 1, 2008

MadCatzManU.jpg I was really happy to see this article, merely because I really feel the corporate bullying is just unacceptable. A little while back, the online gaming site MaxConsole posted an article about the new official Manchester United branded MadCatz controller, saying that it doesn't look pretty (and I agree). MaxConsole was then contacted by MadCatz's Global Communications Manager and asked that they either remove or modify the post or else they will have no choice but to remove them from their press database. Would someone please explain to me how they would have no choice? Since when does having an opinion on a product give a company like MadCatz the right to threaten a website with crap like this? MaxConsole were more than happy to reply and the reply is beautiful to say the least. More after the jump. MaxConsole replied to MadCatz in a post on their website and showed that they are not going to be pushed around. The reply really put a smile on my face, it went like this: "Well you know what MadCatz, the story will stay and you can take your school yard bully tactics elsewhere because the fact remains that the Manchester United soccer gear isn't pretty at all!" Kudos to MaxConsole for telling MadCatz to take their products and shove it. I lost a lot of respect for MadCatz because crap like this is just not cricket and I hope that this news spreads all over the internet and that MadCatz suffers because of it.

Along with Damnation and Resistance 2, Prince of Persia will be one of the titles releasing next Friday (5 December). The end of next week pretty much brings the awe-inspiring game release season of 2008 to a close. While their may be a few titles still releasing here and there, all of the most watched titles will be on the shelves. Many have had their eye on the new Prince of Persia title, with it's cell-shaded yet detailed look as well as some really interesting combat mechanics. The official trailer has been put up on Gametrailers.com and judging by what I have seen it looks like it is going to be quite a ride.

Fable 2 and Halo's 'Master Chief Armor' clip MrXBob has taken the time to show off the Halo Spartan armor unlocked in Fable 2 with the Collectors Edition. Good to see that the armor fits the style and time of the game itself but on the other hand you have to wonder if it really looks the part? Last Updated: …
