Thompson Започва Нова Битка Като...
Дата: Oct 29 2006, 11:13 AM
GameSpot публикува следната статия:
Judge recuses himself from Bully case
while Florida lawyer turns his attention to Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
for "an unauthorized commercial exploitation" of his likeness.
Those who thought the denial of Jack Thompson's attempt to have
Take-Two's Bully banned would leave the Florida attorney quietly sulking
in the corner apparently don't know Jack.
While Thompson couldn't stop Bully from being released, he did have
choice words for the judge who heard his case, and he was made to appear
before the court yesterday at the request of Take-Two's lawyers to
explain why he shouldn't be held in contempt of court. The hearing began
with Judge Ronald Friedman engaging in a series of sharp exchanges with
Thompson. As can be seen in video of the even posted on Destructoid.com,
at one point Friedman summoned a bailiff when Thompson attempted to
display a large white cardboard sign.
Friedman then proceeded to tell Thompson that he felt "the statements
made to this court about this court by Mr. Thompson, I find
inappropriate for a member of the Florida bar, unprofessional, and
contemptible." Friedman then read several excerpts from letters from
Thompson, in which he called the original Bully hearing "a disturbing
abortion of justice" and threatened to sue Friedman personally.
Another tense verbal exchange between a visibly agitated Thompson and an
oddly serene Friedman followed. Friedman then said that he had filed a
complaint with the Florida bar and that he was going to recuse himself
from the case. He warned Thompson that the next judge "might not be as
kind" as he had been. Thompson quickly countered with a brief verbal
fusillade of his own blasting Friedman's decision while declaring
respect for his office.
While Thompson is still in the thick of his Bully battle, he made time
today to fire off a cease-and-desist order to Midway Games. He wants the
publisher to stop distributing Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, but contrary
to what one might expect, he didn't cite the game's over-the-top
violence as a reason to stop selling it.
"It has today come to my attention that the newly recently [sic] Mortal
Kombat: Armageddon contains an unauthorized commercial exploitation of
my name, photograph, image, and likeness within the game," Thompson
wrote in an e-mail addressed to Midway president and CEO David Zucker
and carbon-copied to several news outlets. "You are commanded to cease
and desist immediately from the distribution of this game because of
this unauthorized, illegal content." (Emphasis in original.)
While Armageddon does boast a roster of more than 60 characters,
Thompson isn't among them. Judging from a photo of the game included
with Thompson's e-mail, he is referring to a character made using the
game's kreate-a-fighter mode. The photo was part of a feature on Gaming
Target yesterday, which contained formulas for making a number of
unlicensed characters from the game's various customization options.
Other familiar faces in the feature included Hulk Hogan, Ash from Army
of Darkness, director Kevin Smith in his Silent Bob alter ego, and
Friday the 13th antagonist Jason Voorhees.
A similar issue went to court in 2004 when Marvel Comics sued City of
Heroes publisher NCsoft and developer Cryptic Studios claiming that the
game infringed on its trademarks by allowing players to re-create
trademarked Marvel characters using the game's create-a-character tools.
The parties settled out of court in December of last year, and earlier
this year it was revealed that the comic company is now working with
Cryptic on Microsoft's new massively multiplayer online game based on
the Marvel Universe.
As of press time, Midway had not responded to a request for comment.

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Ревюта
Дата: Oct 29 2006, 11:08 AM
IGN
и
GameSpot дадоха интервюта относно наскоро пусната за XBox 360
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. По-долу са части от статиите:
IGN
Now on Xbox Live Arcade, UMK3 is a decent game, a faithful port of a fun
yet flawed game that longtime fans will love. Others, well, they hate
this game.
The Kakoon of Doom.
That's mostly because it's a quarter-stealer. The rubber band AI allows
you to win a match and in a fashion that's usually way too easy. Then,
feeling confident, the next opponent guesses your every move, reacting
to projectiles and jumps and combos faster than any human could ever do.
After pumping in a few more quarters and losing terribly again and
again, the AI will let up on you and give you an easy victory. Until
your next opponent.
GameSpot
In the early 90s, before first-person shooters became the competitive
genre of choice for video games and the rise of the Internet removed
most of our reasons to actually leave the house, you used to have to go
outside to find good video game competition. And when you got out to
those arcades, the genre of choice was the fighting game. The halcyon
days of arcades are way behind us now, and the 2D fighting game has all
but gone with them. The burgeoning retrogaming movement, combined with
the power of the Internet, offers a lot of potential for the fighting
genre, but there haven't been very many fighting games with online play
at all, and those that do have it usually haven't worked very well. Now,
Midway and the emulation wizards at Digital Eclipse are taking another
crack at 2D fighting on the Xbox 360 with the release of Ultimate Mortal
Kombat 3, the last 2D Mortal Kombat game to hit arcades. It's a terrific
version of the arcade original, and on top of that, the online actually
works really well.
...
The Xbox 360 version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is an accurate
rendition of the original arcade machine, which, surprisingly, hasn't
been done before. Other Midway classic compilations have often botched
the MK games, but you won't be bogged down with between-fight load
times, and things like Shang Tsung's morphing abilities also work just
fine, with no hitches. About the only thing you'll notice is that
occasionally the music pauses for a moment if you end a fight without
doing a finishing move. But, overall, the sound is actually better than
it was in the arcade version. The developers must have gone back to the
original source files for all of the music and sound effects, because
there's a clarity to them that simply isn't in the original game.
There's some great music in UMK3, and it's nice to be able to hear it at
full fidelity.
