Last week got a little crazy, what with
all the poo-flinging going on because of the Fox News Mass Effect segment. This week everyone
calmed down and got their wits about them. Sure the beginning of the week
had some mention of it. Hell, even Jack Thompson chimed in. I nearly had a heart
attack when I found out what he said. All-in-all though things really got
back to normal and we were allowed to focus on, y'know, games.
Things have been really hectic around the GN metaverse lately as we gear
up to put Gamernode 6.0 into action. The site update is set to include a
lot of things we're all really excited about. Sure it'll make it easier
and more fun for the staff in a number of ways, but the important thing is
that it will allow for an easier streamlined experience for you
guys.
We're also coming out with some new features around the site. One section
Editor-in-Chief Brendon came up with is a new section called "Off the
Front Page." You'll be seeing that every weekend. The new post will
highlight some of the best/most interesting/funniest news stories of the
week, along with notable features and staff blog posts. There may even be
a couple forum threads thrown in there if we think more readers should
know about it.
Anyways, we hope you enjoy the first edition of the Gamernode
newsletter.
See you on the forums,

GTA IV to be released on April 29th
Rockstar made yet another
announcement releasing info on the official release
date for Grand Theft Auto IV. Can we trust them this
time, or will the PS3 cause more
problems in the release of this gigantic
free-roaming world.
EA challenges FOX on Mass Effect
inaccuracies
The Fox News network really dropped a ball
in their quality, knowledgeable news program (or
massive lack there-of) when they outright labeled
Bioware's Mass Effect as a game that
features full frontal nudity and graphic sex scenes.
In a "we don't take crap from no one" attitude, EA
challenged FOX to rebuke their statements. Fans of
the game didn't like what they had to say either, so
they began the
sabotage.
Call of Duty 4 sells over 7 million copies
worldwide
Over
7 million copies sold and crowned "#1 best selling
video game of 2007" by the NPD made those guys over
at Activision pretty happy. Receiving high ratings
from many major gaming sites, FPS fans proved that
CoD4 would be at the top of their list for the
best multiplayer experience for a long
time.
Fling things around in SW: The Force
Unleashed
Ok
Star Wars fans, here is your chance to really use
your imagination. Remember when you once thought to
yourself "you know what would be awesome, flinging a
stormtrooper straight into a rancors mouth?" Well now
you can, and you'll look good doing it.
Square's promise: FFXIII to be released in
2008
They
promise us one day, and deny it the next. Why is
Square-Enix playing with our hearts? Well, at least
we'll be seeing a demo coming out this year. Sometime…
Ex Naughty Dog employees form new
studio
Another
bunch of ex-employees of a gaming company are
deciding to form a new studio in hopes of pursuing a
dream imagination. Ok maybe it's not that deep, but
from the people who brought you Crash Bandicoot and
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune,
you know their games will only get better. But are
they switching sides away from Sony?
Jack Thompson says Mass Effect is ok.
Really
Jack
Thompson backing up a videogame? Did Hell freeze
over? Even though his respect has been beaten to a
pulp by none other than himself, it was a surprise
when we heard this bit of news.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl shortages are
real
Nintendo
can't get their priorities straightened it seems.
First they can't supply their crazy mad fans with
Nintendo Wiis, now another nightmare is haunting
them. Not enough supplies of Super Smash Bros Brawl
to go around? That is scary.
Crytek to unveil console version of CryEngine
2
Will a neat
demonstration of the CryEngine 2 on both the Xbox 360
and the PS3 bring hope that one day we might find
ourselves playing Crysis on these consoles? All I can
think of is how sweet it would look on my 50'
HDTV.
Free console TF2 maps and more
Portal!
Isn't
Steam nice? They are going to give console players
who own Team Fortress 2 two new maps completely free!
Still no word if they will be getting the sweet new
update for free like the PC
players will. And who wasn't expecting more
Portal?
Sony drops 80 GB PS3 from
production?
Lots of speculation has been coming up on
why Sony is ending the production of the 80 GB PS3
model. Low sales, or is there an even bigger model
coming out in the future?
