The BBC is hilarious when it tries to cover technology news, because it clearly has no idea what it’s talking about, especially with videogames. Case in point: A kid got banned from Xbox Live because he was pirating a game. Not only does the BBC let him look sympathetic and act like he didn’t deserve it, but theygive him a columnto cry about the situation! “At first I was in shock,” explains BBC Radio One listener Raz....
Killzone 2is an excellent multiplayer game, but that hasn’t stopped it falling foul of a few bugs and, by extension, dirty glitch exploiters. It would seem that, while Guerrilla has been letting a number of infractions slide, the studio is reaching the end of its tether and offenders may now run the risk of a PSN ban. The news comes viaTwitter, that social networking site that most of you hate hearing about....
You have to love Japan’s ability to be perfectly blatant about their obsession with all things kinky (but stammer in public over the slightest little embarrassing thing). It’s all so … in the closet. Yet you can buy spanking games for the DS (not to mentionsweat-moppingandwitch-touching). The latest in this deliciously passive/aggressive series of DS titles isKimokawaE, a game which allows you to spank one of the characters and displays a nice shot of her butt and other, uh, prominently displayed goods for your smacking pleasure....

We’ve covered what Gemini Wars is aboutin detail before, but indie devCamel 101has recently released an actual gameplay trailer to give you a better idea what it will look like. Build ships! Shoot laser beams! Pew pew pew pew pew! And manage some resource-gathering and base building while you’re at it. It looks like it’s shaping up rather nicely.
Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine is suing Activision over his appearance inBand Hero, claiming he did not agree to be portrayed the way he is in the game. Adam, sorry to break it to you, but you actuallydosound like that! His suit closely resemblesthat of Gwen Stefani, as he argues that he only agreed to sing his own song, “She Will Be Loved” and was unaware that he could be made to sing any other song that appeared in the lame spin-off....
Publisher Mastiff andDementium: The Warddeveloper Renegade Kid have finally pulled the covers off of the mysterious “Project M” that wasannounced last year. EntitledMoon, the sci-fi, action-adventure title for the Nintendo DS will once again use the impressive “Renegade Engine” used to power the 3DDementium. “Moonis dark, twisted, heart pounding, frequently violent and always disturbing,” says Mastiff’s Bill Swartz.

You may have noticed that your Xbox 360 games have recently arrived in crappier boxes. They look the same on the outside, but when you open it up and remove the disc, you’ll see big holes cut out of the case’s back with a weird “web” of plastic keeping the disc barely secure. It looks silly and makes the case bend whenever you try to open it, but Microsoft has finally revealed why the cases changed....
Peter Molyneux may be ahype producing blow hardall the timesometimes, but the games he and Lionhead Studios have put out over the years are nothing if they aren’t innovative. While they may not live up to his very own hype, they do often feature aspects that are new and fresh. Where does Molynuex get his inspiration, though? What games does he respect as the one’s that truly changed the game?...
In thepreviousMonday Mind Teaser we gaveClosureanother look, and since then it went on towin an awardin “Excellence in Audio” at the Independent Games Festival. Closure definitely has other strong points, but for going up against such worthy competition it should be thrilled at winning a well-deserved award!

Leaked scans posted bycblogger Urashimacertainly point strongly in the direction ofValkyrie Profilemaking its way onto the DS, but you really can’t help but feel bad for that poor game. It started as a PS1 title, got ported to the PSP under the monikerValkyrie Profile:Lenneth, had a sequel released on the PS2, and nowValkyrie Profile: The Accused Oneis on its way to the DS. If the series had feelings, surely it would have displacement anxiety by now....
