Section 8 Prejudice Drops in 20 April

Love online shooters like Halo but tired of paying those outrageous game store prices (and too technically challenged to work out how to buy imports)? Section 8 Prejudice has what you need.

Power armoured troops battling it out, crazy guns, hover vehicles, armour abilties, stat tracking, upgrades, medals

the works, and all for the thrifty friendly Xbox Live price of 1200 MS points or $14.95 on the PSN Store. It's technically a sequel, but more of a revamp of the retail release Section 8 from last year, a flawed but good quality title. Amazingly this cheaper download sequel promises a more detailed and much more involved single player campaign that offers more than a tutorial for the multiplayer. And in addition to the 32 player capable multiplayer there's a four player coop game called Swarm that plays more like a Tower Defence game like Monday Night Combat than the frag fest that is Halo Firefight mode.

I'll be cueing up my download come the 20th of April.

The Avatar Legends is... Unexpected

Well this is just plain weird. We've heard for a while that we'd see more Avatar focused games beyond the option of using them in certain Kinect titles. But this is something... bigger, than expected. Rather than the usual simle platformer or cart racing game or something generic MS has a full on adventure fantasy game called the Avatar Legends.

Trailers below but it's got quite a lot of footage. It doesn't look amazing, simple graphics and simple gameplay, maybe a gateway RPG drug for kids to get them hooked before you drop an Elder Scrolls on them. But the trailer gets very interesting towards the end where it demonstrates an editor mode you can use to modfiy the landscape and drop buildings. A customisable dialogue tree even appears for a moment. That part looks quite groovy for the Sim fans. So far no other details other than we'll see this game appear on the dash board sometime this year.

5 Things I Wish Would Happen to Games in 2011 (That Probably Won't)

I've been seized by some odd ponderings lately. My minds net has been cast wide into my fevered and often perverted imagination and drawn in some fishy wishes for gaming in the future. Do I think any of these things will actually happen? Probably not a hope in hell. But here's the top five wishes I had for gaming this morning while eating toast.

A Look at Some of the ACCM's Evidence Against Games

It’s been a big few weeks for censorship in Australia. Mortal Kombat gets refused classification, another Attorney General blocks the R18+ debate for a set of reasons even more ridiculous than the last guys, Australian Christian Lobby spokesperson Lyle Shelton and Australian Council on Children and the Media Elizabeth Handsley both made arguments against the R18+ which could have been predicted beforehand almost word for word by anyone familiar with their brand of moral panic (A particular low point was a comparison of games companies and the media in Australia to the tobacco industry, charming Lyle).
