 I have been told that Stargate Worlds is still being worked on, yet some of the SGW development team has decided to flex their FPS muscle...and they are not shooting blanks this time. FireSky's new upcoming PC shooter will be released Feb. 10, 2010 and goes by the name "Stargate Resistance". Cool Stargate terrains with a few character tricks to even the playing field per team. Stargate Resistance is a fast-paced and deadly 3rd person shooter for control of the entire galaxy!
The arrogant System Lords believe they are the true masters of the universe, and have begun a savage campaign to dominate and enslave the known worlds.Stargate Command operatives are the first line of defense against this menace. Small teams of brave agents use the Stargate to travel about the galaxy and parry the thrust of these alien overlords. Whichever side you choose, each battle will be one of wits, skill, and reflexes that can decide the fate of the entire galaxy!
See the SGR website. Also available on Direct2Drive... |

 EA CEO John Riccitiello takes the piracy of The Sims 3 with good humor. Talking to IndustryGamers (via Big Download Blog), he joked that they "identified our secret marketing campaign!" On a more serious note, he pointed out that some sections are off-limits to players who aren't registered. "It's a very content intensive game," he said, "so to have the pirated version and not have access to that is a little bit like having a subscription for Starbucks and only getting one coffee. It just whets your appetite rather than satisfy your ultimate goal."
Though the piracy for the game was fairly widespread even before the release of the game, sales seemed unaffected, moving a staggering 1.4 million in the first week alone. Maybe it would have sold even more if not for piracy, but the added incentive of extra content seems to have swayed at least some of them to buying the full product.

 In what has to be the classiest sounding pre-order incentive ever, gamers who reserve Assassin's Creed 2 at GameStop will get access to an exclusive in-game environment modeled after the famed Palazzo Medici, a Renaissance-era palace located in Florence, Italy.
Designed by the Italian architect Michelozzo di Bartolomeo, the Palazzo Medici was built for Cosimo de' Medici, of the powerful and influential Medici family. It was built between 1445 and 1460, and was, Wikipedia informs, "one of the numerous palazzo built during the period of Florentine prosperity." And with your pre-order, you'll be able to parkour your ass all around its interiors in Assassin's Creed 2 -- just as Michelozzo di Bartolomeo never intended!
This also means Assassin's Creed 2 now joins Forza 3, Madden NFL 10, and Tekken 6 on a growing list of upcoming games that offer some sort of exclusive bonus incentive when pre-order at GameStop. It's kind of nice that they're at least giving gamers a reason to be bombarded with offers to reserve these games, but wouldn't it be nicer to simply include these bonuses in the games no matter where you buy them from?
