This is innocent enough.

This just seems painful.

And cruel! Sadness.

The game also offers widespread, 3-D and even webcam face tracking. Check out the game’s real time trailer, but note that it’s probably NSFW. You’ve been warned.

In an interview with EPSN, Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford, who recently lent his voice to the game Brutal Legend, talked about the group’s Nintendo gaming.

“In Judas Priest, we actually play the games in the dressing room,” said the singer. Generally before a show. Just to get in the mood for the excitement and the energy for what we’re gonna do.

“However, at our stately metal god time of life, we tend to do the Nintendo bowling. And the golfing. If there’s any energy left after the show, we get into the boxing mode.”

Halford recently trademarked the name of a video game “Metal God” this past January. The trademark covers “computer games; video games; and game controllers for computer games.”

“Nintendo has become one of those companies that graduates from colleges and good universities really want to work for,” Miyamoto told Edge in its latest issue (via Eurogamer).

“Because of that, the competition’s really become so fierce for positions. And that means that a lot of the recent recruits for Nintendo have tended to have the higher degree from the prestigious colleges and universities and whatnot. I often say to Mr Iwata: ‘If I was applying for a job here today, I, with my actual college degree, would probably not have been employed by Nintendo!’”

So Nintendo’s current hiring practices are a bad thing, no?

“Part two made more than one, three made more than two and we’re hoping four will make more than three,” he said. “It keeps the franchise strong. What we want to avoid is what’s happening with the Saw franchise which is going the other way. We’re hoping Paul being back in the driver’s seat with 3-D and these big action set pieces will keep it going.”

So Resident Evil has director Paul W.S. Anderson back in the director chair, big action pieces and 3-D. Oh, and Milla Jovovich! So hopefully it will make more money than the last movie — unlike the Saw franchise.

The parents were, the police replied. Authorities then showed up at the boy’s house after he hung up, and after listening to the story, told him that his parents were within their rights to take away his game console as punishment.

The police also advised the boy to listen to his parents and stop wasting taxpayers money. Well, don’t know about that last one – but they should’ve told him that, too!

Authorities do not know why the boy was being punished. Yeah, why would any parent punish a child who would question their authority and then call 911?

According to movie site Latino Review, Ward has been pulled off the flick. Sony and producer Avi Arad did not want to wait for Ward to contractually deliver drafts for other projects (like Hitman 2).

Instead, writing team Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer, who penned the CONAN movie reboot, are being eyed as writers for the Uncharted flick. “At press time, negotiations are underway and it looks like a deal is imminent,” writes Latino Review. “Expect to hear it officially in the trades.”

“We want to increase the value, or the brand loyalty of our Sony products. There is no question about it,” said Sony Executive Vice President Kazuo Hirai in a recent interview.

Hirai, who overseas games and network services, noted that Sony in the past has not been good at communicating between divisions. The exec also noted that the future integration of the PSN is something unique to Sony.

“That’s the kind of combination that I think is not seen anywhere else,” Hirai said. “That I think is where our core competence lies, and that’s a differentiator for Sony.”
