Judge recommends permanent disbarment for Jack Thompson

, Jul 10th 2008 Discuss [0]

Jack Thompson's career as a lawyer may very well be coming to a permanent end.

The Florida Bar recently recommended a 10-year “enhanced” disbarment sentence for our favorite crazy lawyer. While that may well be long enough for Thompson's career to be completely ruined, Judge Tunis doesn't think it is harsh enough. Read The Full Story

Motion control coming to the 360? MS makes contradicting statements

, Jul 10th 2008 Discuss [0]

There have been plenty of rumors floating around that Microsoft will release some sort of motion-sensitive controller for the Xbox 360. The most likely time for them to make such an announcement would naturally be E3. Well they may have let the cat out of the bag just a little early. During a recent preview for Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Ken Lobb (MS Game Studios creative director) was providing commentary when he said "So you basically grab with the wrench and then you twist the controller around and it'll move different things in the game." Twist the controller, eh? Read The Full Story

Amazon slates Star Wars Battlefront III for a March 2009 release

, Jul 9th 2008 Discuss [0]

The internet is a strange creature. With vast amounts of information readily available at our fingertips, we can find out nearly anything with a few keywords and clicks. Usually it turns out to be good for us, and bad for large companies that wish to keep some information private.
