Warhawk Getting Jetpacks In New Patch, Says GameFAQs

7:40AM Michael McWhertor | The release of Warhawk version 1.5 is not only bringing with it a slew of Trophies, game modes and online options, it may be bringing an entirely new vehicle type — jetpacks! A posted list of alleged 57 attainable Trophies in the PlayStation 3 version of Warhawk features three jetpack specific achievements — Aerial Ballet, Are You Aim-Botting? and That Was Some Bug. Jobe may have been hinting at the inclusion of the new ride on a post about the Warhawk 1.4 update on the official PlayStation Blog last month. Consider it rumour for now (*cough* GameFAQs *cough*), until we get some confirmation from SCEA and/or Incognito. UPDATE: We did hear back from SCEA, who say the list of Warhawk Trophies at GameFAQs is indeed accurate. Jetpacks ahoy! Warhawk [GameFAQs - via PS3 Fanboy] [Image] More »

Suspected Church Arsonist Brags On GameFaqs Forums

7:00AM Flynn De Marco | A teenage boy has been arrested on suspected arson charges for burning down a Palmyra, MO church. What makes this game related you may ask? It seems that GameFaqs forum poster “Jediknight12345″ (original, eh?) made a post in the “Current Events” page asking readers if he should burn down a school and a church. The post was quickly removed by forum administrators and then a few days later another post showed up from the same person. This time, Jediknight12345 bragged that he had in fact burned a church/school down, described how he did it and even went so far as to post pictures of the event for posterity. Fellow forum posters immediately alerted local news station WGEM and authorities leading to the teenager’s arrest. According to recent reports, the arrested suspect was a member of the church and its attached school. Kid Arrested for Church Fire After Posting About it Online [YouTube - WGEM Report] More »
