The internet is drooling all over this but to be honest, I wouldn’t get my hopes up. A scan from the latest issue of Game Informer shows a Killzone 2 preview, with the game marked as PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. Let me explain what’s going to happen now. Xbox 360 fanboys will (and already are if you read some …

This Is Why Exclusives Lose Out

Just yesterday, I wrote an article about how Fable 2 broke the one million copies sold mark in it’s first week on the shelves. As you all know, Fable 2 has a huge fanbase and is proving to be immensely successful. The smile on Lionhead’s faces can only go so far then they find out this next bit of news. …

Activision had their chance with the Beatles.

Music companies Apple Corps, Sony/ATV, and EMI — the Beatles music catalog owners — may have chosen MTV over Activision to publish its recently announced Beatles game due to the latter’s inflexibility on song royalties. Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick has argued in the past that record labels who are asking for increased song royalties from rhythm titles, like Activision’s …

MTV and Apple Corps Announce a Beatles Music Game

Harmonix and MTV have forged an exclusive partnership with Apple Corps to create a standalone music game featuring the music of The Beatles. Surprisingly, this will not be a game carrying the Rock Band name. While the game will play in a similar fashion to what we’ve become accustomed to in Rock Band, they didn’t actually go into any sort …

MTV is preparing a major announcement this morning involving an unprecedented partnership to develop a global music project with Apple Corps Ltd. (not the iPod guys, but the multimedia corporation founded by the Beatles). Nobody knows for sure what they’re planning to reveal, but considering the parties involved and their history, we can probably come up with a pretty decent …

Xbox 360 gets a timed exclusive – Legendary

According to the latest Atari release schedule the Xbox 360 has been given another timed exclusive, though this one is a very short timed exclusive. Legendary is coming to the Xbox 360 on the 31st of October (Halloween) and only then to the PS3 and PC in November sometime, so at worst the 360 gets a one month exclusive and …

The Xbox 360 could run MGS4 just fine

Now this just goes to show you just can’t keep a good rumour down.. It is quite obvious that is Microsoft pretty keen on getting a huge title like Metal Gear Solid 4 onto the Xbox 360. MCV UK reports that Xbox Live boss John Schappert has said that he would "love to see the game come to 360" and the went on about the machines "horsepower". This comes after Yoshitaka Arai apparently told a Japanese paper that "The worldwide demand for an Xbox 360 version of MGS4 is quite high, and it is something we are currently looking in to.” I think that if Konami doesn't do it then they are fools. More after the jump. Why wouldn't Konami release it for Xbox 360, especially if Microsoft is actually right and the machine can handle the demands of the games engine. The way I see it, the exclusivity has done it's job. Many PS3's were sold and everyone at Sony is happy. So why not release the game to an entire market of gamers who want nothing more than to play the game. It makes perfect business sense and will almost literally double the sales of the game, if not more when they open it up to a new market. Exclusives are starting to get on my nerves. Look at Bioshock, it is now being released on PS3 a year after the Xbox 360 version and those developers and publishers can look forward to a huge amount of sales for a lot less effort than it would require to completely build another game.

No EndWar Demo for PS3? Where is the love?

Yet another upcoming title will not be getting a demo for the Playstation 3 and one has to wonder what in the hell is going on. The Xbox 360 demo went up yesterday on Xbox Live and was accompanied by the official statement from Ubisoft that says the following: "The demo, exclusively available for Xbox 360, is free and offered for download on Xbox Live Marketplace for Xbox 360," Is this just a nice way of saying that they are a little behind with the PS3 version or is the demo actually being made exclusive on purpose? We are starting to see more and more of this happen and if you ask me, the publishers are just shooting themselves in the foot by not letting both sides try before they buy. That is of course, unless Microsoft is handing out wads of cash for this as well. It's just silly in my opinion and companies need to start making sure that they have demos available for both consoles and not only one.
