PSN Changes and Game Violence Bill In OK - Press Pause Daily
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 04:00:00 02/08/12
PSN making some changes and a violent game tax on tap in Oklahoma.
SHOW NOTES:
Story 1:
So if you are a Playstation Network member, you probably got an email on Monday stating that there would be some changes on the way for the system.
According to Sony, stating today, your account will no longer be called a Playstation Network account, but would instead be called a Sony Entertainment Network account.
Now before you got and get worried that you’ll have to create a new name, or password, and go through a whole complicated process, Sony has said that this is just a change in name only.
According to them, “This helps us get closer to our goal of establishing a global comprehensive network platform of services across games, movies, music, and more."
So I guess Sony is looking to create more synergy across their entertainment properties. Only time will tell if the move will be a good one.
http://www.gamespot.com/news/psn-accounts-undergoing-name-change-6349822
Story 2:
So another politician is trying to attack violent video games, this time in Oklahoma.
Democratic state representative William Fourkiller (which is a fairly ironic last name don’t ya think?) has introduced House Bill HB 2696. This bill would levy a 1% tax on any video game that receives an ESRB rating of Teen, Mature, or Adults Only. This is on top of any other existing sales tax. The money raised would go to create two new funds: one to get youth involved in outdoor activities, and one to with bullying prevention.
According to Fourkiller, games are a major cause of obesity and bullying in our society, but since they make a lot of money, could be part of the solution.
Of course, the game industry isn’t taking this lying down. Dan Hewitt of the Entertainment Software Association says that he is disappointed that politicians are still trying to attack gaming in a way that is patently unconstitutional. He also said that "Taxing First Amendment protected material based on its content is misguided."
So a lot of politicians REALLY don’t like violent video games. They keep trying to control them, and it always ends the same way. You’d think they would learn their lesson by now.

New Releases For February 7, 2012 - Press Pause Daily
[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 04:00:00 02/07/12
This week’s new releases will bring a reckoning with it’s revelations of impostors in the darkness.
SHOW NOTES:
GAME 1: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
First up we have Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. This game is a single player action role playing game that has some heavyweight talent behind it, starting with lead designer Ken Rolston, who worked on The Elder Scrolls 3 and 4. Also involved was fantasy author R.A. Salvatore, who created the game’s universe, and comic legend Todd McFarlane who created the artwork.
The game itself will feature unique real-time combat with a in depth character creation system, that features many races and character customization. There are millions of skills, abilities, weapons, and armor to choose from. It has a beautiful open world, and features a Destiny System that will change the game depending on how you built your character, and the items you have equipped.
Combat will depend heavily on how you’ve designed you character, and there are also unique special attacks that are based on the type of weapons you have equipped.
If you love your role playing with a big side of action, then this sounds like just the game to scratch your RPG itch.
GAME 2: Resident Evil: Revelations
Next up we have the latest entry in the long running Resident Evil series making it’s way to the 3DS.
Resident Evil: Revelations features a brand new story set between the events of Resident Evil 4 and 5, and will feature series favorites Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine. Shortly after the creation of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance, a major bioterrorism event happens and the BSAA is called to investigate. The game looks to bring the classic survival horror gameplay of earlier games, with action taking place aboard an infected ocean liner among other locations.
The game will make use of both the 3DS systems 3D visuals, as well as using the touch screen to help solve puzzles.
If you own a 3DS and are looking for some good creepy fun. This might be just the game for you.
GAME 3: The Darkness II
Next we have the sequel to the surprise hit game based on the Top Cow comic book series The Darkness.
The Darkness II again has you playing as Jackie Estacado, who has now become head of the Franchetti crime family, and has contained the power of the Darkness. Now that power wants out and there are also other who want the power for themselves, and will stop at nothing to obtain it. All of this precipitates a full scale Mob war, with you right in the middle of it.
As with the last game, this is a first person shooter, and you had the ability to use weapons or your Darkness powers to take out your enemies. This time, the developers have added what they are calling quad-wielding, which will allow you to use both weapons and Darkness powers at the same time.
There will be many weapons and powers for you to use, and the game will also have multiplayer options including a 4 player co-op mode called Vendettas that will run parallel to the main single player story.
With it’s intense comic book story telling, and distinctive noire visual style, The Darkness II could be a nice little FPS palate cleanser for those of you still playing Call of Duty.
GAME 4: Gotham City Impostors
And lastly this week we have an interesting downloadable title that sounds completely ridiculous, but awesome at the same time.
Gotham City Impostors is a multiplayer-only first person shooter that pits two teams against each other as they try to kill each other. The twist is that one team is dressed as Batman, the other as The Joker. Like I said...ridiculous, but awesome.
The game will have eight player simultaneous gameplay, and has a over the top visual style. The game will feature traditional weapons, like guns and knives. It will also have more outlandish weapons like a jack in the box grenade, and a rocket launcher made of PVC pipes. You’ll also have access to many gadgets such as grappling hooks, glider wings, and roller skates.
This sounds like something that could be really dumb fun. And as a $15 downloadable title, it sounds like an easy choice.
That will do it for your daily dose of Press Pause. You can always find all our episodes over at presspause.mevio.com . You can also check them out over at our Youtube channel: youtube.com/presspausemevio .

TPGHOEH: Sherlock Holmes And The Secret Weapon
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 12:58:40 01/06/12
From http://en.wikipedia.org Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) pretends to be a Nazi spy to aid scientist Dr. Franz Tobel and his new invention, a bombsight, in escaping a Gestapo trap in Switzerland. Holmes and Franz fly to London, where Holmes places him under the protection of his friend, Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce). The scientist slips away against Holmes' instructions for a secret reunion with his fiancee, Charlotte Eberli (Kaaren Verne), and gives her an envelope containing a coded message. He tells Charlotte to give it to Holmes if anything should happen to him. Leaving Charlotte's apartment, an attempt to abduct him by German spies is foiled by a passing London bobby. Tobel successfully demonstrates the bombsight for Sir Reginald Bailey (Holmes Herbert) and observers from Bomber Command. Tobel, now under the protection of Inspector Lestrade (Dennis Hoey) and Scotland Yard, tells Sir Reginald that, although willing to provide the British with his bombsight, only he will know its secret and has a complex plan for its manufacture to keep the secret safe. He separates his invention into four parts and gives one to each of four scientists, known only to him, to construct separately. Soon after, Holmes receives a call from Lestrade telling him that Tobel has disappeared. Holmes goes to Charlotte's apartment, where he receives the Tobel's envelope. Rather than the coded message, the message inside is from Holmes' nemesis, master criminal Professor Moriarty (Lionel Atwill). Disguising himself as Ram Singh, one of Moriarty's old henchmen, Holmes searches the Soho district for information. He encounters two henchmen, but is captured by Moriarty. Holmes is put into the false bottom of a sea chest, but is rescued when Watson and Lestrade observe the henchmen struggling with its unusual weight. Holmes returns to Charlotte's apartment to search for clues to the message's contents. He finds impressions of the message left on a notepad page by immersing it in "fluorescent salts... and then photograph(ing) it by ultraviolet light." Holmes breaks the first three lines of a cunningly modified alphabet substitution code, which are the identities and locations of three of the scientists, but unable to break the fourth line, which has been altered as an added precaution, soon learns that Moriarty has murdered all three and stolen their parts. Meanwhile, Moriarty, also unable to break the fourth line, tortures Tobel for the name of the fourth scientist. Holmes deduces the change in the code and breaks the fourth line, identifying the scientist as Professor Frederick Hoffner. Moriarty accidentally deciphers the code. He sends agents to abduct Hoffner, who has the brilliance to put the four parts together should Tobel not recover from torture. The German agents bring the scientist, who is actually Holmes in disguise again, to Moriarty's seemingly undetectable stronghold. Unknown to Moriarty, Holmes had the real Hoffner attach an apparatus to their car that drips luminous paint at regular intervals. Holmes uses Moriarty's vanity and pride to trick him into slowly bleeding Holmes to death "drop by drop", to stall for time. Holmes is saved at the last minute, however, by Watson and Lestrade, who with Hoffner's help, successfully followed the drops. Scotland Yard apprehends the spies, but Moriarty escapes. When he attempts to complete his escape through a secret passageway, he falls sixty feet to his death; Holmes has discovered the criminal's hidden trap door and left it open.[1] This is the second Basil Rathbone "Sherlock Holmes" film in which Moriarty dies. He is thrown to his death from the top of the Tower of London by Holmes in 1939's The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. During the course of the adventure, Holmes adopts the disguises of an elderly German bookseller (taken from the Arthur Conan Doyle story The Adventure of the Empty House), the lascar sailor Ram Singh, and the Swiss scientist Professor Hoffner.

Top 5 Games For The Hardcore Gamer - Press Pause Daily
[LESS INFO] 17 VIEWS | ADDED 18:24:01 12/17/11
Jaime, the Press Pause Christmas Elf is here with a Top 5 list of games to get the hardcore gamer on your Christmas list.
SHOW NOTES:
5.
At number five we have L.A. Noire.
This game places you in the shoes of a cop in 1940’s Los Angeles as you solve crimes, and work your way up the ladder of the LAPD.
This game comes from Rockstar, who is well known for their gritty crime games. It features an engrossing story, and the graphics are some of the best out there.
4.
At number four is the sequel to one of 2009’s best games: Batman Arkham Asylum.
Batman Arkham City picks up a year after the events of the last game. Since then, a large section of Gotham has been sectioned off and turned into a prison for all of the worst of the worst.
The story finds Batman going into Arkham City to discover why the prison was built, and what it’s new warden, Hugo Strange is up to.
Bottom line, it’s Batman, his most famous rouge’s gallery, and a LOT of ass kicking. What more do you need. And hey...everyone wants to be batman.
3.
At number three we have a game that has been shattering sales records across the board: Modern Warfare 3. The latest in Activision’s massively successful Call of Duty series begins exactly where Moder Warfare 2 left off. You will play as several characters as you battle the forces of Russian Ultranationalist Vladimir Makarov.
If your gamer loves the thrill of shooter action, then this is the game for you. They will work their way through an intense single player story, and then they can take the battle online to test their skills against the world.
2.
At number two we have the latest in the long running Legend of Zelda series: Skyward Sword.
This story is set at one of the earliest points in this series’ long running continuity, taking place many years before the events of The Ocarina Of Time.
The game starts off in a floating city of Skyloft. Again you play as a character named Link as he sets out to save his friend Zelda from forces unknown, and have many adventures along the way.
This is the first game made especially for the Wii system, and utilizes the Wii Motion Plus for accurate controls. If your gamer loves Nintendo and the Zelda series, you can’t do wrong with this game.
1.
And last, at number one we have a game that needs no introduction. It is of course The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
There are of course millions of people who have been engrossed in the latest game in Bethesda’s long running game series.
Set 200 years after the end of the last game, you play as a “Dragonborn” as you venture out to defeat Alduin. You will travel the land of Skyrim, which is in the midst of a civil war after the assassination of it’s High King.
Your gamer will find a large open world to play in, non linear gameplay, and many quests to finish. This game will keep your gamer engrossed for hours and hours.
So if they are fans of a good RPG, then this is a definite no-brainer.
Well that will do it for our list of games for the hardcore gamer on your shopping list. We hope that this will be helpful to you, and we hope that you holidays are very special for you and yours. From our family to yours. Happy Holidays.

Top 5 Weirdest Christmas Video Games - Press Pause Daily
[LESS INFO] 21 VIEWS | ADDED 01:16:55 12/17/11
Jaime, the Press Pause Christmas Elf is here with a Top 5 list of some of the weirdest Christmas video games.
SHOW NOTES:
As we mentioned yesterday, this time of year can bring out Christmas themed games, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t a bit on the weird side. So here is our Top 5 Weirdest classic Christmas video games tabulated by classicgames.about.com
http://classicgames.about.com/od/toppicks/ig/Weirdest-Christmas-Video-Games/
5.
Number 5 is Santa Clause Saves The Earth. This late PS 1 title was a super mario brother clone with Santa collecting the coins. Loose controls and a weak premise made this a forgettable game for sure, but hey it made THIS list didn’t it? Backstory? some weird fairy creature zaps Santa into a strange land filled with odd creatures all hell bent on ending jolly Ol’ St. Nick.
4.
In at number 4 is Frosty The Snowman aka Frosty’s Busy Night. Gotta love a game that has it’s own aka. Also this game came out for the Commodore 64 so hard not to have a warm sense of nostalgia. However the game itself is another odd Christmas entry by putting Frosty back to work the second he got back to the North Pole. Your job is to bring presents from the elves back to Santa, avoiding obstacles and pitfalls along the way.
The game was actually given away as a freebie in a Commodore 64 magazine. Can’t go wrong with free but in this case I might have just went back and watched Frosty The Snowman again instead.
3.
Daze Before Christmas is our number 3 weirdest classic Christmas game and it has the most sinister plot twist on the list. The back story here is that while Santa was taking a milk induced nap a bunch of terrible people came in and stole some elves and presents. Santa wakes up and decides to take it upon himself to go rescue the lot.
Fighting off giant mice, penguins, and headless snowmen along the way. The weird twist? When Santa finds a special elixir power-up he turns into the Anti-Claus and destroys everything in his path. He even has horns which is just messed up. Good news is .. with the help of your crazy alter ego you’ll probably get back most of those crappy gifts and unappreciative elves. Score!
2.
Number 2 is Santa's Christmas Caper. Developer Zeppelin actually created two different titles for both the Commodore 64 and Amiga.
The Commodore 64 version sees Santa as a lush too drunk to drive his sleigh and deliver gifts so you take it upon yourself to step up and fly his sleigh, tonight. The game quickly turns into a side scrolling shooter, because you know that’s what flying Santa’s sleigh is all about .. shooting shit.
The Amiga version had Santa crash landing his sleigh and spilling out all the presents. The game turns into a Super Mario brothers style platformer having you platforming throughout Lapland to get back all the gifts. Yes, I said Lapland. The name of the place he crash lands is called Lapland.
Man can’t Santa hold it together for one second? I mean really Santa. It’s embarrassing.
1.
And in at number one is the ugliest looking Christmas game on the list. Special Delivery: Santa’s Christmas Chaos. Hard to even tell this is a Christmas game with the nonexistent graphics and low resolution. I mean is that Santa or a pink colored gorilla? Cant tell.
In the game you land your sleigh on houses and descend a huge tower sized chimney complete with bad guys coming at you in all directions. You remember that from all the Christmas stories right? No? You don’t? Yeah neither do I. Once you get into each house you have to drop off a present and then grab a key to leave. Although couldn’t you just take that huge ass chimney with the ladder on the way out?
Man .. these games make Christmas a lot more complicated then it should be, don't they?
Oh well....Happy Holidays.

The Most Played of 2011 and a Doctor Who Game - Press Pause Daily
[LESS INFO] 19 VIEWS | ADDED 04:00:00 12/12/11
The most played game of the year is announced and Whovian gamers are in for a treat.
SHOW NOTES:
Story 1:
Raptr, which is a popular game tracking service, recently announced a list of the top performing games of the year. This list was determined by how many hours the members of it’s game community put into the games.
Some of the results that came out were that Modern Warfare 3 was the most played shooter, and Batman: Arkham City was the most played open-world game. And in an announcement that surprises almost no one, the most played game overall this year is none other than a little game called The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Weird, right. I didn’t know there WERE any other games this year.
http://www.joystiq.com/2011/12/09/skyrim-is-2011s-most-played-game-according-to-raptr/#continued
Story 2:
So there are millions of fans of the long running BBC show Doctor Who. Well starting early next year, they will be able to continue the adventures of The Doctor in a new series of downloadable games that will coming to PC, PS3, and the upcoming PS Vita.

The game is being developed by Supermassive Games, who has done work on many levels for Little Big Planet. The story is being written by BBC Wales, who produce the show, and Matt Smith and Alex Kingston are on board to voice their characters. No pricing has been announced yet.
If you just can’t get enough Doctor Who, make sure to keep an eye out for that blue Police Box.
