Study shows you don't mind [BUY GTA 4!] ads in your video games

Fpsrantings.com has posted a study from Double Fusion, an in-game advertising company, saying that gamers don't mind an infusion of marketing materials berrating them at every step while trying to enjoy a video game.

[BUY NINTENDO PRODUCTS!!!! WE OFFER GAMEFLY ON THE SIDEBAR ------->]

Personally we are against such advertising, it really demeans the integrity of the creative masterpiece that a good game (KFC CHICKEN IS DELICIOUS) can become when the nuances all fall into place (GAMESTOP HAS AWESOME DEALS THIS WEEK).

Here are the findings from Double Fusion...

Ninjas Sue Nintendo Over Nunchucks

You may have heard about Nintendo's lawsuit against Nyko in an attempt to continue it's monopoly on innovation in the video game world. However, you probably havn't heard about an even more exciting lawsuit going on. That being the case of Ninjas Vs. Nintendo.

You see, while Nintendo claims to have invented the Nunchuck and copyrighted it, if you take a quick peek over at Wikipedia.org (if it's on the internet it's true!), you can see that....

"Although the certain origin of nunchaku is disputed, it is thought to come from

Mad about Madden! NFL video games exclusive rights lawsuit

 

In a report from Gamespot.com it was found that a class-action lawsuit was filed by plaintiffs that feel that EA's exclusive rights to NFL video game production hinder the genre and is "blatantly anticompetitive conduct".

Now, a lot of blogs are spinning this negatively at the football gamers, but we here at Two Bit News are all about long argumentative battles, especially in court, over issues that really aren't that important to society. So when we heard of one that coincidentally is a subject we agree upon we decided it was worth a post to show our support!

 

To the plantiffs:

On behalf of all gamers in the world that want higher quality games, we salute you!

Wii-HDD Hard Drive revealed!

To the delight of storage starved Wii owners across the globe, Nintendo announced today a new Hard Drive addon for the Wii.


It's tentatively named the Wii-DD, which many of you OGs out there will remember is very similar to the also long awaited (but never delivered outside of Japan) add-on drive for the N64, the 64-DD.

Well good news, this one is twice as huge, and no, we don't mean in terms of market impact, we mean it's literally huge.

As you can see it's a compact 20x the size of the Wii itself making it much more secure in case of an earthquake. It also uses it's own power supply so you don't have to dim the light on the Wii when updating!

Don't Be An Idiot

Recheck your credit card balance -- if you're close to the limit, now is the time to settle up. There are lots of ways to manage debt like shaking trees and selling the apples that fall out. If you didn't understand this piece of advice, it's because you don't play Animal Crossing, and therefore, are not a complete idiot. Congratulations.

Games Gone Wrong

Opinion

Tony Hawk video games are the new Madden NFL

This issue has been bothering me for a few months now and I wanted to get it off my chest.

I still remember how amazing it was playing the original Tony Hawk Pro Skater for Dreamcast (yes, Dreamcast, get off my back, it was amazing.) and it absolutely blowing my mind. Finally a game that made you feel like you were in control of a real skater from the get go, but also with the potential for mind blowing stunts not possible in real life.

Guitar Hero: World Tour Song By Song Review

Well, the 4th edition of the Guitar Hero series is upon us and it's rife with already done hackneyed game functions stolen from Rockband, but hey, it's got cymbals!
I'm not going to bore you with my opinion of how much the sensitivity levels of the drums suck, or how awesome it is that you can trick your girlfriend into playing a video game with you. You can read that shit on some other website that actually cares if you're informed. Micah and KT are here to enterain and, of course, educate!
