Bethesda don’t really have a good track record of getting things perfectly right the first time round. Oblivion was far from perfect upon launch and Fallout 3 has had it’s issues as well, such as crashes, lock-ups and graphical glitches. Last Updated: November 21, 2008

World of Warcraft ‘Ozzy Osbourne’ TV ad World of Warcraft draws gamers from all walks of life, from the hardcore gamer to the 9 to 5 office drone. The game even draws celebrities like the Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne in their latest ad. What I’ve got to wonder is whether Ozzy actually plays the game? What do you think? …

So we have finally received n ews on the GTA IV DLC that is on it's way and it looks like Rockstar have taken quite an interesting approach to how they have chosen to handle it. This is mainly because in the DLC you will no longer play as Niko Bellic, the usual hero of GTA IV. Nope, this time around you will thrown into the life of Johnny Klebitz, a member of the Lost biker gang that Niko runs into a couple of times in the original storyline. The question I want to raise is... what about the new cities or locations that everyone was harping on about a while ago? The new DLC will still take place in Liberty City and while I find the idea of jumping into a whole different character and story within the game, a lot of people have possibly already grown tired of seeing the sights and are ready for some new ones. It may be possible that DLC that includes extra locations may still come in future but for now, whether you are Johnny or Niko, you are going to be sharing the same turf for a while to come at the very least. The new DLC titles "Lost and Damned" will be available on February 17. No pricing had been given just yet.

I will never ever forget the first time that I saw someone get knocked off of the Pit in Mortal Kombat II. I watched in Horror as Barracka feel to his death, the camera in hot pursuit, until the final splat when the concrete cracked beneath him as he slammed into the floor. I wasn't desensitized yet, so the visuals actually caused a little bit of a sickening feeling in my stomach. I had just watched a realistic looking character fall to a gruesome and horrible death. It was disgusting, it was twisted and you know what, it was Mortal Kombat in it's purest form. These were the thoughts running through my mind when I watched this MK vs DC fatality montage. The gameplay might still be fun, the game may actually prove to be a more than worthwhile purchase but I cannot bring myself to look at it as a true relative of the Mortal Kombat series. What happened to the good old days of insane amounts of blood and guts? How could it be that the MK franchise has been stripped of the freedom to create the most gory and violent deaths imaginable, it's what made it famous. I'm not saying that videogames should always have as much violence as possible but again, this is Mortal Kombat. It's kind of like going to watch the next Tarantino movie and finding out that it has been toned down to become more accessible to teenagers. To mention it again, I am not saying that the game looks bad, it just feels like Mortal Kombat has officially lost it's identity. A sad day for me indeed.

However marketing mishaps are normally awesome as they get it so horribly wrong even after going through levels of authorisation and checking… Such …
