HELL - In an attempt to make my first news post look good, EA and DICE have announced that they still don’t understand the word irony by announcing Bad Company 2. The first person shooter will be released this winter on the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
EA has seen better days after having 1,100 (11% increase) layoffs and yet still lacking the money to make a great game. However, perhaps the company has hope in star title Mass Effect 2. It certainly convinced would be stock holders as EA’s stock has somehow managed to go up two dollars a share.
In other EA news, the company has announced the delay of Dragon Age citing “epic winz”, the delay of Godfather 2 because “the family wasn’t big enough for epic winz” and Sims 3 because “this will never be epic winz”. Why delay a great game when your company is falling apart? That’s why EA makes the tough decisions, because they excel at it.

Vaseline is best used as a lubricant on dry and irritable skin. It is NOT for screwing the disk drive opening on your PS3. No matter how bad it's asking for it.
HOBOKEN - Konami reported today that the latest installment in their critically acclaimed video game series, Metal Gear Solid 4, hit the 4.5 million copies sold benchmark.
That is, they would have announced that had 4.5 million actually been a real benchmark worthy of praise. Konami apparently couldn't hold out until 5 million, like a good game would have sold, but hey, congrats on being not quite good enough Metal Gear Solid.
We'll keep you posted for when MGS4 hits 4.6 million, 4.7 million, 4.82 million and of course the all important milestone 4.9234 million units sold. Oh and in case you weren't picking up the sarcasm, we're mocking Konami pretty hard. Even if they were one of the few major gaming companies to post a profit this season. $195,000,000 to be exact....should we throw a parade?
I've got dibs on playing guitar freaks in the marching band.
NEW YORK - Mitsubishi has created a gigantic 50 foot tall Blue Ray disc and placed it in the center of Times Square in New York City. The company had hoped it would be a good publicity stunt to promote their line of custom writeable Blue Ray Discs.
Unfortunately for the mega-corporation they forgot the fact that nobody would be able to play it. Contrary to common belief, the inability to view the disc did not stem from it's enormous size, but rather the fact that nobody was able to locate a Blue Ray player.
