Jack Thompson finally pWn3d?!

This is certainly a day to mark on your calendar. As I was just looking on DCEmu, I saw a piece of news that Jack Thompson has finally LOST.

Take Two has reached an agreement with Jack Thompson which will restrict the crusading lawyer from suing the publisher’s games.

Take Two brought a pre-emptive lawsuit against Thompson last month to stop the lawyer from declaring Grand Theft Auto IV and Manhunt 2 a public nuisance.

According to a report on GamePolitics, Thompson has agreed he will not sue or threaten to restrict sales or distribution of future Take Two titles. The outspoken lawyer will also restrict communication with Take Two via the publisher’s legal team.

In return, Take Two has dropped two lawsuits against Thompson, including one over contempt of court during a case built around controversial title Bully.

Oh glory days! It’s about time the jumped up idiot finally had something go against him. I have no sympathy for the man, he has made himself a public enemy and has caused nothing but grief, especially making dumbass accusations about the recent Virginia shootings being down to videogames. It’s about time he shut up and tried looking for cold hard facts instead of making idiotic assumptions and that can go for thicko Dr “Ph41l” Phil who knows even less about WTF he’s talking about.

Command & Conquer 3 Demo on XBMP

Just a heads up to people that have been waiting for the Command & Conquer 3 demo, it’s up on the Xbox Live Marketplace at 1GB.

I’m not really a fan of the C&C series or RTS games in general, so I won’t be downloading it, but for anyone that’s interested, gogogo!

I’ve been sent a PS3 game?

Well, for some reason, I’ve been sent F.E.A.R. for the PS3, but I don’t have a PS3 and won’t be getting one until it drops to a more reasonable price. The PR guys can’t help it though, they don’t know whether you have whatever console unless you tell them, but there’s always the option to pass it onto someone that could review the game, but I don’t know anyone that has a PS3…

Also shoved through my letterbox this morning was a disc with assets for The Darkness, I wasn’t too sure what it was at first when I opened it, that was until I looked at the booklet to find out that the disc contains screenshots, packshots and trailers.

We’re still waiting for Mental Gamers to be temporarily re-uploaded so that some news can start up again and we can get back into the swing of things. I’ve uploaded the DB to the webspace, but without the password, I can’t even install the forums which would get people back with us, we’ll have the new webspace at the end of the month, let’s just hope we don’t have a problem getting the site back up on there.

Worms: Open Warfare 2 trailer
