Şiddet içerikli oyunlarla ilgili olarak, çocukları sapkın manyaklar haline getirdiği tezine ters düşen bir haberimiz var. Grand Theft Auto bir aileyi nasıl kurtardı?

Voltei. Passei o último mês jogando, vendo Arquivo X e... é isso. Preciso ver só a nona e última temporada de Arquivo X, depois estarei (infelizmente) "livre" da série.

Sobre os jogos:

1- Need For Speed Pro Street é chatinho. Não consegui zerar, sempre fico enjoado do jogo quando chega mais ou menos na metade. Tentaram fazer a jogabilidade mais real, ficou algo estranho, complicadinho de dirigir, mas não ficou real. Não sei se foi isso que me fez desgostar do barato, ou se foi o tédio. Ou talvez tenha sido o fato de o RX7 ser fraquinho no jogo.

2- Colin McRae: DiRT é foda. Bom mesmo. O primeiro jogo de rally que eu zerei. Boa diversidade, gráficos sensacionais, ritmo legal. Não é curto demais, nem longo o suficiente pra enjoar.

3- GTA San Andreas ainda é demais, mesmo quando você o joga pela terceira vez. Quando joguei GTASA pela segunda vez, encontrei lugares que eu não tinha visto, músicas da rádio que eu não tinha ouvido, piadas que eu tinha perdido. Estou no meio da terceira "zerada", e novamente há lugares divertidos que eu não conhecia ainda, há muitos comerciais nas rádios que eu tinha perdido, e por aí vai. Esse lance das rádios do GTA é interessante: não ponha MP3 na pasta do jogo para ouvi-las quando entra num veículo! As rádios do jogo são muito legais. A melhor é a Radio X, claro.

Agora, seção (ou sessão?) fofoca-pirata: O Google queria dar uma de espertão no lançamento do Chrome. Botaram no contrato de licença que absolutamente tudo que for submetido por meio do navegador é de direito deles. Mas alguém leu o barato, e o grande G voltou atrás, claro. Fonte.

Picture this, you are running down the street trying to locate a vehicle when suddenly a bus skids next to you and  20 dudes jump out with shot guns , blasting you and everyone around them. In gtaiv the police couldn't touch them. You know very well that you yourself can get a good perch and pick off the police for a few hours. so 20.. yeah they can ban together quite nicely.

Well gtaclans.com is the new site where everyone is posting their clans and getting the word out about their clan, so more people can join their clans and or go through try outs.

some have made private threads for a "round table" discussion   some just have huge freakin track records. and  huge teams. GTA clans  looks like it might turn out to vbe a very large place. I would suggest that if you have any need to be curiouse, just make a profile, hit the off topic area  and bs, or hot the spam area and request people in your clan or clans for you to join.

There is even a section for gtaiii and Grand Theft auto Vice City online help.

The slowdown in consumer spending apparently does not apply in Liberty City. The fictitious city is the setting for the wildly popular "Grand Theft Auto IV" game that sold 1.5 million copies in the fiscal third quarter of games publisher Take-Two Interactive, which, not coincidentally, just reported sharp increases in revenue and profit for the period ended July 31. ClipSyndicate/Bloomberg (9/4) , The Wall Street Journal/Dow Jones Newswires (9/5)

Take-Two anunció que Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars para Nintendo DS saldrá a la venta este invierno, lo que podría ser entre noviembre y el 31 de enero del próximo año, según el año fiscal de la compañía.

Cuando se les preguntó si este título (del que por cierto todavía no sabemos prácticamente nada) saldría a la venta antes de Navidad, Take-Two contestó que no habían dicho eso, y que no están confirmando nada.

Por lo menos ya sabemos que no tendremos que esperar mucho tiempo para tenerlo en nuestras manos, pero tampoco sabemos nada del juego en sí, ni hemos visto imágenes o videos.

Esperemos que pronto se diga por lo menos cómo será la cámara del juego, si en tercera persona como los títulos más conocidos de la serie, o visto desde arriba, lo que seguramente no agradaría a los fans.

In ciuda criticilor continue ce se agata de noul Grand Theft Auto IV, jocul a ajuns la prestigioasa cifra de 10 milioane de copii vandute in toata lumea (pana pe 16 august).

Acest lucru il arata un comunicat al Rockstar Games, care a inregistrat un profit de 433,8 milioane de dolari de pe urma jocului.

Conform Take-Two, realizatorul jocului, precedentul GTA: San Andreas a inregistrat 21,5 milioane de copie vandute in toata lumea, cifra care pare inca inimaginabila pentru actualul GTA: IV.

"Media content has gotten more graphic, more violent and more sex-based ... Currently, nothing under New York State law prohibits a fourteen-year old from walking into a video store and buyin ... a game like ‘Grand Theft Auto,’ which rewards a player for stealing cars and beating people up. Children can even simulate having sex with a prostitute ..."

Well, politicians are politicans, and we all know the phenomenal level of hypocrisy this segment of society has -- probably was riding on the band wagon during that time -- gain publicity of sort. There is nothing inherently wrong in videogames simply mirroring what society does - whatever the norm is. And to portray videogames as a medium mainly targeted at kids is an obsolete and old-aged notion.

A generation or two from now, politicians like these will simply fade -- by that time, future politicians would have grown up with videogames, and they'd certainly have a much more lenient and non-conservative stance regrading this type of entertainment medium.

Após rumores de lançamento em novembro de 2008 e em 2009, a Take-Two confirmou que o conteúdo de download exclusivo para o Xbox 360 de GTA IV será lançado no ano fiscal de 2009, que começa em novembro desse ano. O jogo, que já vendeu 10 milhões de cópias em todas as plataformas, é um dos favoritos a Jogo do Ano.

In a world where video providers seem to be adding increasingly disruptive digital rights management into their video streams, you can always count on video game accessories to provide a hole for unprotected video to break through. First it was the Xbox 360's HD-DVD drive, whose component output allowed for DRM-free copying of the now-defunct high-def discs. Now it's Sony's European PlayTV digital video recorder add-on for the PS3, which CVG reports can "export [recorded] videos to your PS3's XMB menu as MPEG-4 video" for free use on other devices. At a time when everyone from Tivo to Microsoft seems to slap some sort of protection on digital video recordings, it's frankly a little baffling that Sony (itself a major video producer) would leave this hole in its digital recorder. Not that we're complaining, we're just waiting with trepidation for the other shoe to drop.

Though Master Chief is little more than an adorable baby during the events of Halo Wars, it should come as no surprise that his Spartan brethren are a pretty big factor on the battlefield. Ensemble recently went into detail about the role of the Spartan in a fight on their official site. The secret to nailing the right feel for the Spartan according to Ensemble? Not nerfing them. Spartans aren't just dudes in good armor: They're one-man tipping points, able to grab an enemy vehicle and turn the tide. Sounds good to us; now, if there were only some way to get some more Spartans on the box.

Having already come to an arrangement with Japanese star developers Goichi "Suda 51" Suda and Shinji Mikami to publish a mysterious horror franchise, who could blame EA for showing interest in other Eastern talent? Speaking to MTV Multiplayer, David DeMartini, who oversees the EA Partners program and a board swathed in secret plans, candidly admits, "EA looks at the top 20 developers in the world and we try to sign anything those guys are working on." DeMartini explains that deals such as the Suda/Mikami one represent "something that is very unique and very special," despite being, like many of our relationships, "slightly uncomfortable for both parties." We're dying to see the results of EA's collaboration and share DeMartini's unshaken hope that it "will serve as a springboard to a successful formula that we can apply to some of the other great Japanese designers." You know, like Gackt.

As part of its recent quarterly earnings announcement, Take-Two announced that Grand Theft Auto IV has sold ten million copies through Aug. 16. These sales helped lead the company to a staggering $433.8 million in revenue in the third quarter, over twice as much as the same quarter last fiscal year. For comparison, the PS2 version of GTA: San Andreas sold 12 million copies worldwide. During a conference call, the company said it would continue to promote GTA IV through the holiday season, and that it expected lifetime sales for the game to "track well ahead of any previous GTA title."

Uno de los principales argumentos que Microsoft esgrimió a la hora de tratar de convencer al jugador de que comprara la versión de 360 de GTA IV fue que iba a contener episodios exclusivos descargables. No dijeron fecha, precio, tamaño ni importancia argumental de este contenido, pero el caso es que ahí estaba. Ahora parece que por fin comienza a vislumbrarse la fecha de salida del DLC de GTA IV. SIn tener todavía ni idea de qué contendrá, Eurogamer ha afirmado que "fuentes cercanas a Rockstar" han comentado que el contenido descargable saldrá en Noviembre de este mismo año, coincidiendo con las previsiones de Microsoft (Otoño) y Rockstar (Primer cuarto del año fiscal 2009: desde Noviembre hasta Enero del año que viene), y viene a su vez desmintiendo otros rumores que lo fechaban para principios del año que viene. Según esta fuente, se trataría de dos episodios de en torno a 10 horas de duración, con sus consiguientes logros. Estiman que, para conseguir la exclusiva, Microsoft se desembolsó nada menos que 50 millonacos de dólares. Teniendo en cuenta la cantidad de consolas que vendió el título, no creo que les haya salido muy rentable... Parece ser que a la gente le importaba un pepino el DLC.

Vin Diesel and Gérard Depardieu look at some futuristic gadget in Babylon A.D. (pay special attention to background hookers to prove Depardieu's pimp status)

As Printed in The Lumberjack on September 4, 2008

by Gary Sundt

I walked into the movie theater tonight knowing two things: 1) four new movies were coming out, and 2) three of the four were going to be pretty terrible. The one film that had a glimmer of hope to it, the Don Cheadle thriller Traitor, was going to be that which nobody was going to see. Accordingly, I chose what I assumed would be the least painful. I chose Babylon A.D. It stars Vin Diesel.

Let me explain my reasoning here. Vin Diesel has talent. I know it’s in there somewhere. He was great in Pitch Black, and the saving grace of Find Me Guilty. Perhaps charismatic is the wrong word, but there is within him the ability to do good work. Also, the other two choices, College and Disaster Movie, were almost certainly going to be vomit-inducing affairs, thus Babylon A.D. it was.

So there I was watching Babylon A.D. The flick starts off by spouting the same droll monologue we’ve seen in the trailers, with the same imagery to boot. Then we cut to Toorop (Diesel) walking through a Russian village to some bombastic rap song, pimping a raincoat like it was the new black. Then some action happens (it doesn’t really matter), and the audience is subsequently riddled with videogame-level dialogue that explains some mercenary mission involving getting a girl to the United States.

So Toorop goes to pick up the girl. Her name is Aurora, and she lives in a convent, and Sister Rebeka (Michelle Yeoh) is her guardian. After a bit of obligatory discourse between the mercenary and the sister that confirms Toorop’s abrasive mannerisms, we meet Aurora (Melanie Thierry). It’s the kind of introduction where time slows down, with a faint singing of choirgirls. The type of introduction that insists impending doom. But we’ll get to that later.

Wait – let’s get to the doom now. Aurora has apparently never been outside the convent, and so the brutality of the world is a bit jarring. She freaks out. She runs away. Toorop and Sister Reb go after her. Then a building blows up. Aurora knew it was going to happen. What’s the deal? Is there mystical hoopajoop afoot?

Maybe, maybe not. I think I can safely say I had no idea what was happening after this point in the story. And believe me, I tried. I really tried. It is my job as a film critic to try. But there’s nothing here. Babylon A.D. is nothing but empty dialogue and random action sequences accompanied by an overbearing soundtrack.

Director Matthew Kassovitz has obviously watched his fair share of science fiction, in particular Blade Runner and The Fifth Element. The action sequences, however orthodox, are directed with some skill. The alternate future he has created is visually all encompassing; I especially liked the apartment they visit in the flick’s third act, with its rotating door-walls and television that can’t be turned off (you can change the channel).

The failure here is really the script by Eric Besnard. He has watched the same movies as Kassovitz, but he has also played a lot of videogames. The dialogue here could be ripped right from Grand Theft Auto III, and the plot developments are about as motivated as when Bowser would steal Peach at the end of every fourth-level in NES’s Super Mario Bros. It’s a first draft that was given a budget, which is a crime all-too-common in today’s rush of quick-dollar movie making.

Accordingly, the actors go into default mode. Diesel grunts his manly man grunt, because what’s an action star to do without a script? Yeoh goes into commander mode, her go-to acting method when she’s just doing it for a paycheck. And while Thierry is a relatively new face, her character is required to scream and cry – the same motivations that child actors are delegated. The film’s biggest challenge is to milk tears out of Diesel, to no avail I might add. How can a man cry when he has no real motivation? Not everybody is Ben Affleck.

Whether Babylon A.D. is the kind of bad that is quoted for eternity is hard to say. I will admit to having found my own perverse joy in shouting “WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER?!?” for the last few days. But I don’t think that’s the fate of this sci-fi cinematic blunder. No, save the possibility of cult status, this one is doomed to sit in the $1.99 bin at Walgreens. It’s a fate probably shared by Disaster Movie, College and Traitor.

Running time: 90 minutes. Directed by Matthew Kassovitz. Produced by Kassovitz and Alain Goldman. Written by Eric Besnard. Starring Vin Diesel, Michelle Yeoh, Melanie Thierry, Gerard Depardieu and Charlotte Rampling. A Twentieth Century Fox release. Rated PG-13

Source's close to Rockstar North has said that the first episode of two for Grand Theft Auto IV is still on track for 2008 for the Xbox 360.

It comes a week after a source claimed to Videogaming 24/7 that Episode One would not be released until sometime in 2009.

The extent of what the DLC is unknown at this time as to whatever's it's a new island in Liberty City for new stories to even possibly a bigger expansion as sorts, Vice City and San Andreas.

We do know that Rockstar was apparently paid $50 Million by Microsoft to do two downloadble episodes exclusively to the Xbox 360 verison of Grand Theft Auto IV so hopefully, they will be worthwhile.

Information about this Animation

O RPG-TV lançou um rumor ontem à noite falando sobre o conteúdo de download para Grand Theft Auto IV, que será lançado exclusivamente para o Xbox 360. De acordo com o site, a primeira parte dos dois que serão lançados para o console acrescentará 15 horas de jogatina. A RockStar North também estaria planejando tudo isso em uma nova ilha, o que se assemelha com um rumor do ano passado que dizia que a RockStar planejava usar o DLC como uma expansão, semelhante aos casos de Vice City e San Andreas, na 3º edição.

Nem a Microsoft, nem a Take-Two e nem a RockStar fizeram um pronunciamento oficial sobre isso ainda. Então, considere ainda um RUMOR.

Se vocês estão se perguntando: "Que porra é essa de Text Based MMORPG?"; por favor, releiam o post Gladiatus. Pois, neste post, vocês irão encontrar uma breve explicação sobre isso.

Por quê um Top 5 sobre jogos? Bom, aqueles que me conhecem, sabem que eu sou apaixonado por jogos. Porém, nem sempre estou com paciência para jogar jogos elaborados (que precisam de habilidade ou raciocínio), ou com tempo disponível para jogar estes jogos. E é aí que entra os Text Baseds. Estes jogos, geralmente, não demandam muito tempo. E, muito menos, requerem muita habilidade (ou raciocínio) dos jogadores.

Ainda não expliquei o por quê deste Top 5? Como eu estava falando. Sou viciado em jogos (minha esposa que o diga - rs). E muitos amigos sabem disso, e vivem me perguntando: "Qual Text Based MMORPG você recomenda?". Por isso, sem mais delongas, segue a lista de hoje:

1. Jogo: Omerta
   Desenvolvedor(es): -
   Opinião(ões): Confesso que sempre fui fascinado pelos anos dourados dos gangsters. Os ternos (de risca de giz), os chapéus, as Tommy Guns, etc.. Quando vejo estas coisas em um filme, toda minha atenção se volta para ele (rs). Por isso, este jogo (no melhor estilo O Poderoso Chefão), só poderia estar no primeiro lugar desta lista.
2. Jogo: Ryudragon
   Desenvolvedora: Decadium Studios
   Opinião(ões): Como eu poderia não gostar deste jogo? Ele se passa na época dos meus antepassados (rs). Ou seja, Japão Feudal.
3. Jogo: The Crims
   Desenvolvedora: -
   Opinião(ões): A melhor forma de definir este jogo é: "O GTA dos Text Based." (rs). Se vocês quiserem bater nas pessoas, contratar prostituas, traficar drogas, roubar (lojas, supermercados, bancos, etc.)...Esse é o jogo!
4. Jogo: Gladiatus
   Desenvolvedora: GameForge
   Opinião(ões): Império Romano! Tá aí outra época que sempre fui fascinado. Mais informações sobre este jogo? Cliquem aqui.
5. Jogo: Rule the Seas
   Desenvolvedora: -
   Opinião(ões): Esse é o Piratas do Caribe versão Text Based. Não é dos melhores, mas dá para passar o tempo (rs).

Hehe.
