Bayonetta Cleans Up?

A lot of fuss has been made about the Playstation 3 version of Bayonetta. Early screenshots show a version with blurry textures, struggling framer ates and lengthy load times. However, according to Gamekyo, Sony has sent an engineering team to bring the game up to par with the system's capabilities. Don't care? Well maybe you should! Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu gave this game a perfect score, and they have tougher critics than the whole UNM Gamer Podcast crew put together.

SEX! Now That I've Got Your Attention...

Say you're working on a game, and you just found out that your studio is closing. How do you convince gamers to buy your game on day one?

According to Joystiq, a DLC code named "The Midnight Show" will be included with all new copies of the game, which unlocks a few extra features, the most noticeable being nudity. Eventually you'll be able to buy the code after the game is released, but still, quite the incentive eh? I would wonder if this will affect the rating of the game, considering the lack of nudity should the player opt out of the DLC code.

Player Beats World of Warcraft

Well, sort of. "Little Gray" of the server, Wratchbringer, has become the first person to earn every single achievement in World of Warcraft. Frankly, I had my money on the Koreans.

According to the WoW Armory, this player has earned all 986 achievements. That means he's beaten every dungeon, killed over 300,000 creatures, and confirmed his virgin status to the rest of the world. More on this story at IGN.

War of Wars

Meet the new face of Medal of Honor. You remember Medal of Honor right? That WW2 game that started the trend of WW2 games throughout the decade. It seems EA is setting sights on the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare franchise and updating the series to a more modern setting. Not only that, the game is reported to be set in Afghanistan, according to Gamespy. Guess they were also aiming to beat Six Days in Fallujah as well.
