Zynga Purchases Four Mobile Developers

Posted Jan 19, 2012 at 4:49PM EST by Listed in: iPhone Tags: gamedoctors, hiplogic, mobile ape, page44 studios, zynga

The social gaming giant continues its push into the mobile market.

Zynga hasn’t been doing so great as of late, with attendance on their social games a pale shadow of what they used to be. But the company is on the prowl for ways to expand its business model, and has the mobile market at the center of its crosshairs. Early today, Zynga confirmed that it has acquired no fewer than four mobile developers with the intent of extending its mobile grasp.

Gamedoctors, HipLogic, Page44 Studios and Mobile Ape were all confirmed to have been picked up, giving Zynga a deep portfolio from which to choose and a few established franchises on which to build. All things considered, it’s a smart move for the company, especially when you consider their stock has been steadily declining in value since the company went public back in December.

There’s no information on what games Zynga plans to make or how the company will be using its new development studios, but we’ll keep you posted as information becomes available.

In the meantime, what do you think of Zynga snapping up smaller studios?

FFXII-2 Tops Japanese Sales Charts

Posted Dec 22, 2011 at 4:57PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: final fantasy xiii, golden abyss, mario kart 7, monster hunter, super mario 3d land, uncharted

Square Enix’s follow up to the maligned Final Fantasy XIII is off to a strong start in Japan. Duh.

If there’s one thing Japan loves, it’s Final Fantasy. So it’s not entirely surprising that Final Fantasy XIII-2, which launched earlier this week for Japanese gamers, has already rocketed to the top of the sales charts. The game moved 500,000 copies in its first week of release, toppling Monster Hunter 3G from the top of the charts and renewing confidence in the Final Fantasy brand.

Of course, Japanese sales trends aren’t always indicative of western performance (as I said, Monster Hunter was #1 until this happened), but it’s definitely good news for Square Enix that their hardcore fan base wasn’t so upset with FFXIII that they abandoned the brand entirely. The actual sales figure, around 525,000, accounts only for PS3 versions of the game.

Some Vita titles also managed to make the list, a good sign for the fledgling handheld. Here’s the top 20, for those of you that like tracking Japanese game sales:

01. [PS3] Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Square Enix, 12/15): 525,271

02. [3DS] Monster Hunter 3G (Capcom, 12/10): 208,427 (730,386)

03. [3DS] Mario Kart 7 (Nintendo, 12/01): 182,418 (789,871)

04. [3DS] Inazuma Eleven Go (Level-5, 12/15): 135,259

05. [3DS] Super Mario 3D Land (Nintendo, 11/03): 112,533 (837,143)

06. [WII] Kirby Wii (Nintendo, 10/27): 71,028 (398,516)

07. [PSV] Hot Shots Golf 6 (Sony, 12/17): 61,412

08. [PSV] Uncharted Golden Abyss (Sony, 12/17): 48,224

09. [WII] Just Dance Wii (Nintendo, 10/13): 44,021 (323,293)

10. [WII] Poke Park 2 (Pokemon, 11/12): 43,829 (164,018)

11. [WII] Wii Party (Pokemon, 07/08/10): 42,632 (2,129,236)

12. [NDS] Magician's Quest: The Merchant's Store of Sorcery (Konami, 12/10): 35,068 (81,110)

13. [WII] Mario & Sonic at London Olympics (Pokemon, 11/12): 34,351 (64,573)

14. [PS3] Shin Kamaitachi no Yoru (Chunsoft, 12/17): 33,686

15. [PS3] BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend (Arc System Works, 12/17): 32,992

16. [WII] Wii Sports Resort (Nintendo, 11/11/10): 30,804 (734,046)

17. [WII] Taiko Drum Master Wii Ultimate Version (Namco Bandai, 11/23): 30,046 (100,284)

18. [PSV] Dynasty Warriors Next (Tecmo Koei, 12/17): 29,181

19. [PSV] Lord of Apocalypse (Square Enix, 12/17): 28,742

20. [NDS] One Piece Gigant Battle! 2 (Namco Bandai, 11/17): 28,406 (207,458)

Nintendo is clearly the king of the party in Japan, despite the temporary dominance of one game or another. In the meantime, we’ll just have to wait and see how FFXIII-2 is received here in the west. The previous game was the best selling in the history of the franchise, but also landed to lukewarm reviews.

How do you think FFXIII-2 will do when it’s released in the west? Also, don’t you just hate typing “FFXIII-2?”

Square Enix’s follow up to the maligned Final Fantasy XIII is off to a strong start in Japan. Duh.

Wal-Mart Black Friday Sale is Good for Gamers

Posted Nov 11, 2011 at 1:37PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Black Friday, gears of war 3, kinect sports, mario and sonic

If you’re having trouble keeping up with the steady stream of fall releases, Black Friday may provide you with a nice opportunity for picking up anything you’ve missed.

Black Friday is a strange tradition, but it’s one that holds quite a bit of marketing sway here in the States. I’m not sure why exactly everyone decided that the day after Thanksgiving was the best shopping day of the year, or why retailers decided to turn it into a cataclysmic shopping event, but that’s just the world we live in now. Black Friday sales amount for a seriously large percentage of holiday revenue.

If waiting in line at stores early in the morning and trampling other people to get electronic goods is your speed, Wal-Mart has you covered with this year’s ridiculous video game Black Friday offers.

Here’s a basic rundown on what you’ll find at the big-box retailer on shopping’s most intense day:

$199 Xbox Bundle 1

4G Xbox 360

3 months of Live

Gears of War 3

$50 Wal-Mart gift card

$199 Xbox Bundle 2

4G Xbox 360

Kinect

Kinect Adventures

$50 Wal-Mart gift card

$199 PS3 Bundle

160GB PS3

Ratchet & Clank All 4 One

LittleBigPlanet 2

3 months of Sony Plus

$100 Wii Bundle

Blue Nintendo Wii

Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games

If consoles aren’t your bag, the software deals are pretty sharp as well: For $28, you can pick up Gears of War 3, Arkham City, Call of Duty: Black Ops and Infamous 3. $15 snags you Kinect Sports 2 and Dance Central 2, and Yakuza 4 is on sale for $10. There are a number of other specials going on, but those seem to be the most high profile.

Is it worth braving the crowds and chaos to grab a good deal on games?

Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nations Coming to Android/iOS

Posted Oct 25, 2011 at 3:21PM EST by Listed in: iPhone Tags: Gameloft, modern combat 3, modern warfare 3

Gameloft drops a brand new FPS title to your phone or tablet, bearing a pretty familiar moniker and dancing with Activision’s legal devils.

If you’re following game news (and you’re reading this, so I assume you are), you’re probably familiar with a little title abbreviated as MW3. Activision’s latest entry in the Call of Duty franchise is going to be a sales juggernaut and there’s not much anyone can do to stop it. Gameloft seems to have another idea: capitalize on the hype with a similar looking and sounding game. The title, Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nations, is a fully realized FPS aimed at your Android or iOS device later on this week.

The game features a wide array of multiplayer maps, customizable weapons and more than a few perks that will be familiar to the Modern Warfare crowd, such as Sleight of Hand for quicker reloads and scoping. Modern Combat 3 is set for an October 27th release, though it’s important to remember that Gameloft titles usually drop for iOS devices a few days before they hit the Android market. Either way, you’ll be able to play it eventually.

Modern Combat 3 boasts full online play with stats tracking and leaderboards. The game supports matches of up to 12 players and plays out a lot like Call of Duty, with death match and capture games making up the bulk of the experience. If you’re looking for a console-like shooter on your Android device or your thing that starts with a lowercase “i,” this may be the game for you.

What’s really amazing to me is how Gameloft has managed to thrive without being obliterated by lawsuits. I guess as long as they dance around the copyright effectively, they don’t have much to worry about. It’s not like EA or Activision owns the FPS genre, and most shooters are pretty generic nowadays.

Do you think phones and tablets can provide a satisfying FPS experience? There are some that claim consoles can’t even do it right, I shudder to think of how they feel about the iPad. Even high action Wii games are shrugged off as sloppy.

PoV: US Supreme Court's ruling on violent video games is still a responsibility

Posted Jun 28, 2011 at 7:05AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PoV Tags: California, opinion, us supreme court

The long contest over the legality of former Governor Schwarzennegger's 2005 bill disallowing those under 18 years of age to purchase video games with violent content have now been put to rest.

The US Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional yesterday, on a vote of 7-2, based on the grounds that it defies the "basic principles of freedom of speech" as well as the First Amendment."

So said the ruling: "Video games qualify for First Amendment protection. Like protected books, plays and movies, they communicate ideas through familiar literary devices and features distinctive to the medium. And 'the basic principles of freedom of speech... do not vary' with a new and different communication medium."

"The most basic principle - that government lacks the power to restrict expression because of its message, ideas, subject matter, or content... is subject to a few limited exceptions for historically unprotected speech, such as obscenity, incitement, and fighting words. But legislature cannot create new categories of unprotected speech simply by weighing the value of a particular category against its social costs and then punishing it if it fails the test."

Apart from that, the Supreme Court also dealt with the issue of connecting video games and violent behavior. According to them, they did not find any conclusive link that will put video games responsible for a person's violent act.

"Any demonstrated effects are both small and indistinguishable from effects produced by other media. Since California has declined to restrict those other media, e.g., Saturday morning cartoons, its video-game regulation is wildly underinclusive, raising serious doubts about whether the State is pursuing the interest it invokes or is instead disfavoring a particular speaker or viewpoint."

This ruling of the Supreme Court definitely is a win for gamers everywhere. But inasmuch as it proves that it does fall under the protection of the First Amendment, it also reiterates the need for parents to make sure they give proper guidance to their underaged children, especially when it comes to the content that they are given access to.

It is true, after all, that violence is not necessarily confined only to video games. Open the TV or the Internet and you see it automatically. Even the most classic literary books may contain violence. In fact, just step out of the house and odds are anyone are potentially exposed to violence. This is the reality that our society today faces. For a government to restrict freedom of speech on the sole probability that someone might get bad ideas is to be a step back.

Again, though, no right is fully absconsced of responsibility. So if you choose to let your kids play with games containing violence - no matter the degree - then at the very least, instill in them the clear delineation that video game is fiction, and not everything they will see in media should be adhered to or emulated.

The long contest over the legality of former Governor Schwarzennegger's 2005 bill disallowing those under 18 years of age to purchase video games with violent content have now been put to rest, but it still doesn't make it a free for all.

PoV: Boycotts in the gaming industry: boon or bane?

Posted Jun 14, 2011 at 8:52AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PoV Tags: opinion

Like any other product out in the market, video games are vulnerable to public reaction. If they deem something improper or not akin to their sensitive tastes, they can call for a movement to ban these titles. If banning is not feasible, then other alternatives are there to ensure that the said game does not get support from the consumers, such as by calling for a boycott.

The most recent controversy involving a video game in a boycott is EA's Battlefield 3. The call for boycott was forwarded by online link-sharing community Reddit, upon the "unfair advantage" they have spotted with the pre-order goods. But that's just one sample right there.

Throughout the years, boycotts range from pervertly-themed games to outright violent ones. The Columbine game received such violent reaction that it had to be pulled down. Ubisoft's We Dare also got the cold treatment from concerned parents, even at just its mere concept, that the publisher eventually had to call it off.

From a consumers' standpoint, it is definitely a powerful tool that we can wield when things get rough for us. The idea of having games boycotted is enough to send cold sweat trickling down a publisher's spine. And really, it's just about one of the very few options consumers have to keep companies and their sometimes overzealous, poorly-concealed attempts at getting more money than they actually deserve in check.

For some instances, though, it becomes more of a nuisance instead of a helpful tool. What about you, do you think boycotts are effective, or are they just empty threats?

Throughout the years, boycotts range from pervertly-themed games to outright violent ones, but what is its role exactly?
