In a story that I’m sure is incredibly embarrassing for the police forces of England, a semi carrying approximately $1 million in PlayStation 3 videogames (including GTA and Brothers in Arms) was stolen by a merry band of thieves.  The truck and its cargo were then recovered by police, who failed to capture the men responsible, which led to the same merry band of thieves stealing the same truck full of games from the custody of the police themselves!

A few days ago, a long time friend of mine called to let me know that he had some positive video game related news for me, and I said “ok shoot.”

He told me that his brother had gotten his COD4 disk stuck in his recently purchased PS3, and that the system would not eject it. So he decided to give a ring to Sony’s customer service line. He explained the situation to a supervisor and was told that it would all be taken care of immediately. What Sony did next was pretty amazing. Read more…

Back when Rock Band first debuted, Xbox 360 users were pleased to find out that their Guitar Hero instruments were compatible with their Rock Band sets, and vice versa. Unfortunately, PS3 users became accustomed to getting the shaft when Activision refused to let the Fender Stratocaster to work with any of the future or past Guitar Hero titles.

Today, Neversoft announced at Leipzeig that all GHWT instruments will be compatibile with their Rock Band companions. Neversoft’s Brian Bright even went into details on how drum compatibility would work, due to the difference in the amount of pads- the orange pad, the crash cymbal, will map to the blue pad, but if a note is there already, it will map to the green pad instead. Yeah, I don’t get it either. Read more…

It seems there’s a trend lately in the industry- whenever a company announces a game, you can bet your ass that they will probably release, or leak, the screenshots in less than a couple of days. The latest game that follows this trend is RockSteady Studios Ltd.’s Batman Arkham Asylum, a chilling thriller from the mind of Paul Dini, whom you might know from the popular Batman: The Animated Series.

Unfortunately for RockSteady Studios, these screenshots weren’t leaked by some ambitious blogger or Batman fanboy enthusiast- they were leaked from RockSteady Studios’s site itself. Apparently, someone let the gallery of screenshots go live way before it was supposed to. The gallery has since been removed from RockSteady’s site, but of course, once something gets on the internet, its there forever.

Hit the jump to see the gallery of beautiful, Unreal Engine-produced screenshots for the game. Read more…
