Bethesda Sues Interplay Over Fallout License

Fallout 3 developer Bethesda Softworks has filed suit against Interplay for trademark infringement, breach of contract and unfair competition. According to Gamasutra, the spat centers around a series of agreements made in April 2007, in which Bethesda acquired the Fallout franchise from Interplay, publisher of Fallout 1, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics. Under the terms of the deal, Interplay agreed to consult with Bethesda before re-releasing those older games. A Fallout Trilogy boxed set, which contained those three games, was released in April without such consultation, the suit alleges. Additionally, Interplay has pursued digital-distribution partnerships with companies such as Steam, GOG.com and GameTap, which Bethesda says is also against the terms of their deal.

Wii dropping to $200 Sept. 27

Last week, we got a peek at an alleged upcoming Walmart ad that indicated an official price drop would be coming to the Wii. Today, it appears that retailer Toys R Us may have heard the same thing.

While the Walmart listing we saw didn't put a price tag on the Wii—currently still at its launch price of $249 USD—the Toys R Us version does, pegging the new MSRP at $199. And that's with Wii Sports included, not a stripped down package. The ad is purportedly from the end of September, due to hit the week of the 27th according to the tipster that forwarded a shot our way.

That's a week earlier than we were expecting based on the Walmart tip we received, but still not official in any capacity.

If accurate, that would mean a price drop announcement from Nintendo sometime within the next two weeks, possibly during the Tokyo Game Show. Nintendo won't be exhibiting officially at the yearly game show, but will be present at the Kyoto Cross Media Experience 2009.

We contacted Nintendo to get clarification, but were told "Nintendo does not comment on rumors and speculation." And they don't comment on blurry shots of Toys R Us circulars either!

even after the price cut, I see no value in buying Wii. When for same price we get xbox 360 arcade. and ps3 slim is just 50$ extra and we can consider that extra for a bluray player and highdef gaming and that makes PS3 most VFM. (except that we go bankrupt by buying PS3 titles) :)

Modern Warfare 2's Prestige Edition includes fully functioning night vision goggles

Now this is how you do a special edition. Activision and Infinity Ward look to be going all out for its Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 "Prestige Edition," with not only the usual accoutrements like a special casing and an art book, but also what is described by Community Manager Robert "fourzerotwo" Bowling as a "fully functioning NVGs -- night vision goggles." No idea how well they work, but it's got alternating modes and MW2 branding. That's pretty awesome, but we gotta imagine it's gonna demand a pretty penny -- this is definitely more than that $80 "collector's edition" for $80 GameStop is currently listing. You won't be able to get your actual hands on the game until November at the earliest. Here is the pic.

assassins creed bloodlines... new screens.

In November, Ubisoft will release one of the more highly anticipated games of the year when Assassin's Creed II arrives on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. This sequel will push the story forward a few hundred years and introduce a brand-new protagonist, but it won't be the only Assassin's Creed game released this holiday season. Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines, a PSP exclusive, will serve as a more direct continuation of the original game as players, once again, assume control of the acrobatic killer Altair.

New screenshots.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Multilayer showoff

During the last few months, Infinity Ward has teased gamers with short multiplayer trailers of the hotly anticipated Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. But apart from a few points gleaned from the videos (such as customizable killstreaks, riot shields, and being able to bring the rain with an AC-130), there have been few other details on just how the developer was planning to improve on the impressive multiplayer offering of the first Modern Warfare. That changed overnight: Infinity Ward released a ton of new information about online play in Modern Warfare 2 and allowed hands-on sessions for the first time. Greater customization, improved perks, deathstreaks, and new weapons and attachments are just some of the additions, which is all adding up to plenty of reasons for even the most dedicated prestige players to come back and wage war again.

Ridiculously expensive Master Chief bust announced

Obsessed with Halo? Got the Limited Edition green console, collector edition games, figurines and anything else to bear the Halo brand? Got USD 225 to spare? Then you’ll love this.

One2Onecollectables.com has announced that it will be releasing a strictly limited edition bust of Halo’s former hero, Master Chief, during the fourth quarter of this year.

The 1:2 scale bust stands 12 inches high and 12 inches wide, and is apparently “cast in high-quality polystyrene” and has been “hand painted to the highest standards”.

Only 650 of them will be produced, and they’ll cost USD 224.99 – or GBP 135-ish – each. Which makes them the most expensive lumps of polystyrene we’ve ever stumbled upon.

Left 4 Dead 2 blacklisted in Australia

Valve's upcoming sequel to Left 4 Dead has reportedly been banned in the land down under. The Australian Classification Board has stamped the title with "RC" (refused classification) because of "high impact violence" against "living humans infected with a rabies-like virus."

In case you're unfamiliar, there is no adult rating for video games in Australia -- with the maximum being MA15+. Any mature title that is unable to obtain the Classification Board's approval for MA15+ is barred from commercial sale. Oddly, the original Left 4 Dead made it to shelves with the Board's blessings.

BioShock 2 Release Date Announced

2K Games has revealed that BioShock 2, the sequel to 2K Boston's critically-acclaimed 2007 hit, will be released worldwide on February 9, 2010.

BioShock 2 was originally scheduled for release this year but was pushed back into 2010 to "provide additional development time for the title" and "deliver what its fans expect and deserve".

Set ten years after the events of the first game, BioShock 2 sees players return to underwater dystopia Rapture, this time stepping into the hulking boots of the iconic Big Daddy. This follow-up marks not only the debut of ninja-quick Big Sisters but also a fully-featured multiplayer component, developed alongside the solo game by Digital Extremes.

BioShock 2 releases on Xbox 360, PS3 and Windows PC when it lands next year.

Valve displeased over Left 4 Dead 2 ban

That isn't the only hardship they've faced, however, and yesterday the gaming community was shocked to learn that the Australian Classification Board blacklisted the upcoming game. Needless to say, Valve is upset about that decision. With a November 17 release date quickly approaching, there isn't a lot of time for them to begin hacking up a game that's probably receiving its final touches. They have officially responded to the blacklisting, saying with terse words that they are very disappointed about the move.

Creators of WoW, EverQuest, others sued over patent infringement

One essential ingredient of MMO gameplay is the synchronization of various events and special effects across multiple systems. A boss fight would get hairy pretty quick if everyone in the battle wasn't experiencing the same environment simultaneously. A New York-based company has sued several MMO-makers, claiming the games make use of a patented data sharing technology
