10 games to pick in 2008

2007 was a rocking year for the gaming industry with some of the greatest game releases hitting the market. After the departure of 2007, gamers have been wondering if the New Year would follow the footsteps of 2007. I personally look 2008 to be even bigger than 2007 in video gaming. Sure there are plenty of games to hit the market this year, but let’s see what the New Year has in store for us.

Resident Evil 5: (Xbox 360)

This game transforms the series by delivering an unbelievable level of detail and realism. Resident Evil 5 introduces the theme of escape as its core survival nature. In this game your life will be in danger and you need to strive very hard in order to complete the mission. Evil beings will charge at you as you go ahead and your pulse keeps racing at your heart devastating pace. The graphics are pretty amazing and this game for sure will take away fans to a whole new level.

Activision Inc sued

Activision Inc, the maker of “Guitar Hero”, has been sued by “The Romantics”, saying that the video game has intruded on the band’s rights by featuring a sound alike recording of “What I Like About You”, the 1980 hit.

The case was filed on Tuesday in the U.S District Court in Detroit and was seeking unnamed impairment.

The song is one of the 30 songs featured on “Guitar Hero”. For the Romantics, Copyright claim hasn’t been the issue so far. The attorney’s say that Activision had been given the rights to use “what I Like About You” thereby allowing to record a cover version.

By creating an imitation like the Romantics, the Cali-based company intruded on the group’s rights. The band is seeking a ban that could take the game off the stores.

Activision refused to take calls from Newspaper agencies for comments regarding the matter.

Sony lowers PS3 software kit price

Sony Corporation on Monday lowered the fees it was charging for a software development kit for the PS3 console in order to get more designers to do video games for the machine.

The company said that it would strengthen its backup support in order to make new games for the PS3. The console comes with a Blu-ray disc player and a processor, is Sony’s new product in years. Sales look no good for Sony because of high prices and lack of games.

Although PS2 dominated the gaming market, PS3 has had a hard time against rivals like Nintendo. The console has succeeded in getting players by offering games that use handheld device for the remote control.

Sony has sold about 5.5 million PS3 consoles world over, Sony’s spokesperson said. The console went on sale late last year in U.S and Japan.

PS3 has not been able to compete with Xbox. Microsoft has sold about 13 million Xbox 360 devices from the last two years. Xbox has also slashed it prices in Japan from ¥39,795 to ¥34,800.

Sony’s PS3 sales beat the Wii from Nintendo for the first time this month between Nov 5 to Nov 11, with 55,924 PS3 machines sold vs. 34,546 Wii’s. Sony’s chief executive said that last week sales in the U.S doubled after the price cut.
