Something must have been in the water this week, because everything's pretty much the opposite of what it should be. Cheaper iPhones? Honesty regarding Hellgate's troubled launch? A big-name game arrives without issues? Bizarro.

The three-man team behind Limbo of the Lost sets a new definition of plagiarism by stealing assets from at least a dozen games.

Kojima Productions
Metal Gear Solid 4 hits without any of the controversy we've come to expect from a big-name release. Well, except for the annoying multiplayer stuff.

Call of Duty 5
Back to World War 2, this time with co-op and multiplayer vehicles.


Spore

Nvidia business development VP Roy Taylor as to why consoles don't threaten PC gaming.

"Electronic Arts could have continued to compete by offering a lower price and/or a higher quality product. Instead, Electronic Arts quickly entered into a series of exclusive agreements with the only viable sports football associations."
