If buying M-rated games wasn't that hard until now, it seems that restrictions are getting stronger with each day, because a recent study of the Federal Trade Comission has shown that only 20 percent of the 13-16 years mistery shoppers sent to buy M-rated games managed to do so, down from 42 percent back in 2006!

<-250x250 Square - left->Wait, there's even more! This study started in 2000, and back then, the undercover shoppers sent to specialty retailers, discount stores and electronics stores which were aged below 16 managed to buy M-rated games in a stunning proportion - 82 percent!

ESRB president Patricia Vance said "Video game retailers have clearly stepped up their efforts to enforce their store policies, and they deserve recognition for these outstanding results. We commend and applaud retailers for their strong support of the ESRB ratings, and will continue working with them to help ensure that these levels of compliance are sustained if not further increased."

If you're still below the legal age for "consuming" M-rated games, then I think you should get some older friends, they could really get in handy...

Doom is one of those games that wrote history, and I won't say anything else about it. We all know that some time has passed since Doom 3 was unleashed on our computers, and I could bet that a lot of gamers think about a next version, and hope that Doom 4 will arrive in time to enjoy it properly(I know a lot of people that suddenly became too busy to have enough time to enjoy their favorite games, I am sure you know how's that). Well, here's the good news for everyone - Doom 4 is in the making!

While id Software works on Rage, a new franchise which blends vehicular combat with first-person action in a sci-fi world, work on Doom 4 is also done, and the company revealed this in a help-wanted ad.

Basically...this is it, guys and girls! No press release yet, but id Software's CEO Todd Hollenshead confirmed this, when contacted by IGN. He said the company just wanted to "leave it at the press announcement for now."

Doom 4...dream on, my friends. I mean, dream as long as you still can, because I have a feeling Doom 4 will give us some nightmares when it's going to arrive!

Do you feel like dancing in the street, but outside is freezing cold, and you also have to wait for some friends to knock on your door? Well, that shouldn't be a problem, as long as your PlayStation 2 is in full working state. SouthPeak Games and B-Boy will take care of the rest...



<-250x250 Square - left->Katie Morgan, Executive Vice President at SouthPeak Games, went as far as saying that "B-Boy is the only game that gives players the opportunity to become premiere breakers. The game's fantastic playability, dead-on authenticity and high production values give it a style all its own. While it remains true to its roots of the scene, it maintains a feel that gamers will love."Well, most of the time, producers say their games are great, original, and offer you thousands of hours of gameplay, but this time, I agree. Probably you won't get to play B-Boy for thousands of hours, but it surely looks great, and the concept is a pretty original one.

Obviously, all you have to do is prove your skills by challenging world's greatest breakdancers. With over 800 motion-captured moves, the game is really a unique experience, including Crazy Legs and the Rock Steady Crew, while featuring 22 authentic venues including Red Bull: King of the Ring, Freestyle Sessions, UK B-Boy Championships and IBE.

I know there's a lot to say about this game, but best thing to do is see it, and the best place to start is the B-Boy official site. Enjoy your breakdancing sessions with B-Boy!
