Being a monster is fun. Monsters have such a power over us that we can’t help but be both fearful and fascinated by them. Witness the popularity of Foxtel’s Crime Channel marathon Serial Killer Sunday, featuring day long programming about depraved monsters; or the ground breaking popularity of Grand Theft Auto. Prototype 2 takes this fascination to the next level, your not just a crazy person, you’re John Carpenter levels of monster, you’re a Lovecraftian monster, you’re a Resident Evil boss with no plucky STARS agents to stop you.

So, LG sent us a television and told us to make a video of us using their new 'Dual Play' tech. They said, "You guys get the most views on your video and we'll give you two TVs." So, of course, we did as they asked.
Dual Play is an interesting take on using the stereoscopic 3D technology to display different images on the same screen to two people. Basically, no more split screen and it means full screen multiplayer gaming on the same screen. Check out the video below to see what I mean.
We're in competition with a few other mid-sized Australian blogs and if our video gets the most views, we get a TV and we get a TV to give away to you guys. To be honest, I think we really have a shot and considering our 'modest' and loyal readership, you guys really have a shot.
So share the video around and let's see if we can crack 1,000 views.
This is an important announcement for all gamers. Today it has been released that the Australian government has finally crumbled under the pressure of its gaming community and given the R18+ rating the go ahead. Don't go throwing zombie guts in the air just yet though, we won't be seeing and R18+ games hit our shelves until January 1st 2013. This is a big win for the Australian community as it helps show the world that we arn't a big bunch of babies and we can handle violent games too.
Minister for Home Affairs and Minister for Justice Jason Clare has today announced that an R18+ category for video games has at last become a reality. The legislation passed the Senate without amendment earlier this evening.
“These are important reforms over 10 years in the making,” said Mr. Clare.
"The R 18+ category will inform consumers, parents and retailers about which games are not suitable for minors to play, and will prevent minors from purchasing unsuitable material.
"The reforms also mean that adults are able to choose what games they play within the bounds of the law."
I don't know about you guys but I'm celebrating already and It was only passed meer hours ago. Hats off to everyone that signed petitions and got their voices heard.
I will admit it, I’ve played a few CAPCOM games in my day and I never thought I would play one such as Dragons Dogma and enjoy it. True to the nature of CAPCOM, I can’t help feel as though I’ve been catered for in almost every area. It’s nice to know there is a company out there looking after its consumers. But enough talking about how much of a heart-throb they are and let’s get into the review!!

Hey, due to family commitments I’m moving my news round up from Tuesday to Wednesday. Also this is a rant about E3, so not so much news. Expect regular unbitter broadcasts next week.
TS Eliot wrote an excellent poem called The Hollow Men about the end of the world (read it here, go on, get literate) suggesting the end of the world, the end of humanity, will come not with a bang, but a whimper. It’s not hard to imagine Eliot using the same line to describe E3. The event has rolled into town, made a hell of a lot of noise, and rolled out leaving gamers without much to show. Could this be the most disappointing E3 we’ve ever had?
Let’s take a look at the major players and summarise their efforts.
