Despite its minor issues, Fallout is a great game. Obviously, I am talking about the last game in the series, although some hardcore Fallout fans claim this is the weakest link of the chain. Well, you can't please everyone these days, that's no secret, but what about the Fallout MMO that should be developed by Interplay?

Yupp, you got that right, but it seems we're talking about a war of rumors here. How's that? Well, rumor number 1 is that Interplay is developing a Fallout MMO, and rumor number 2, that Bethesda is going to sue them. Why? As a natural consequence of rumor number 1, of course!

The idea was that Bethesda should have started work on the MMO on the 4th of April, but that didn't happen. Even more, Interplay should have secured some funding for the game, and that didn't happen, either.

As soon as Bethesda decides to file for a lawsuit, Interplay will lose more than just the rights to the Fallout MMO - its image as a company will surely be damaged, and securing new contracts will become harder than before.

The bad news is that, no matter who wins, if a trial is going to start, the gamers waiting for the Fallout MMO to come out will surely lose.

God has failed, at least if we talk about consistency. Some call it(for me, it's more of a concept, than a being) a name, other call it another name, some say it's white, others it's black, and so on. No need to say how far is this going, because we're only talking about half of a god today. Yupp, you got it right - it's all about Demigod, the latest game coming from Stardock!

One of the things that I really appreciate, when it comes to BitTorrent trackers is the fact that you can see early user feedback on a game that gets pirated even before the official release, in most cases. This way, I usually end up with a good choice in my hands, when it comes to buy a new game(no, I am NOT using pirated games) and I have a bunch of alternatives...but a smaller budget.

Unfortunately, not all gamers think like me, and this seems to hurt some of the smaller players of the gaming industry - for example, as Demigod's official servers started to receive connections, the number of connections climbed up to 140,000. Why call Demigod a failure, in this case?

Well...out of those, only 18,000 connections were using the original(validated) game, and the remaining 122,000 were pirates who weren't able to update their copies, but managed to "touch" the servers somehow.

Now, Stardock only needs to enforce server security with some new patch that's harder to crack, and they can easily turn the Demigod failure into a success, at least that's how I see it.

According to Stardock, after two days, everything started to work normally. "Now today, day 3, it's pretty much taken care of. Users are connecting in multiplayer, the servers are pretty responsive and we're adding more in preparation for the weekend."

These being said, if you're bored of playing DotA or WoW...Demigod is another choice you should take into account!

Most of my friends say that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is the greatest GTA game ever, and I have to agree with them, at least when we talk about the PC versions. My opinion is that GTA 4 is also a great game, but its PC version is a big, huge, tremendous mistake. If you managed to play it on a computer, you probably know what I am talking about. If you haven't...get a console!

Since we're all in a crisis and budgets are being smaller than usual, the idea of playing GTA on a Nintendo DS sounds great, at least in theory. Unfortunately, practice kills the idea, because GTA: Chinatown Wars seems to be a "little big failure," although the game can't be considered bad at all.

In to the latest investor note from Cowan and Company, Doug Creutz wrote the following: "Despite a strong critical reception, Take-Two's GTA: Chinatown Wars sold a very disappointing 89,000 units in March, well below our more recent 200-250,000 estimate and far below the 400-450,000 we thought the title might sell upon its release."

Heh, it seems there aren't enough adults using the Nintendo DS out there, considering that initial estimates were, as you can read above, a few times higher than the actual sales.

In the end, it seems Nintendo remains a platform that doesn't allow intruders to come and get the gold...

"We believe the experiment was a worthwhile one for Take-Two, and still expect the title to be profitable (though likely marginally so). However, the disappointing first month sales reinforce our view that achieving meaningful success on Nintendo platforms remains a very difficult proposition for third party publishers," concludes the report.
