Blood Bowl trailer everything but a blood bath

We haven’t seen any gameplay of Blood Bowl yet, and, sadly, this trailer is no different. It does provide us with a taste of the color commentary that will frame the many conflicts taking place in the soon-to-be-bloody bowls, though. There’s even a brief look at the many different races and squads that will take to the field in this most literal fantasy football title. In terms of quantity, it looks like the amount of teams will be somewhere between a lot and a whole freakin’ lot . Original source: www.joystiq.com , delivered by rss-farm.ru

Capcom scraping knees with MotoGP 09/10 in March

Capcom’s recently acquired motorcycling sim series is set to hit the track again in March 2010 with MotoGP 09/10 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Capcom has put a new team on the franchise in Monumental Games, but before you start running around and slashing tires in disgust, know that some of the members of that studio are actually MotoGP veterans. Put the knife down! The next installment in the series brings all of the bikes, riders, and tracks from the 2009 championship series, including a full-fledged career mode that will give players the control to handle not only the racing, but also managerial tasks. But, even more interesting is Capcom’s promise to “update the game with accurate real-time content from the 2010 championship at no extra cost.” Rounding out the rest of the game will be an Arcade mode, and online racing, supporting leaderboards and a spectator mode.

Grooveshark faces lawsuit from EMI

I’m a big fan of the streaming music site Grooveshark . It’s a great way to listen to practically any song and share new music with friends. EMI doesn’t have any love for Grooveshark, though: the label is suing the service . It’s not clear what the claims in the suit are, yet, but Grooveshark’s side of the story is that they were negotiating some kind of licensing deal with the major labels, and EMI sued as a negotiating tactic. I can see why a label would want to sue Grooveshark. According to one small label that’s done business with them, Grooveshark just uses the labels’ content to pay its bills, and offers little to nothing in advertising revenue in return. On the other hand, I don’t know too many people who use Grooveshark as a replacement for buying a legitimate digital download of a song. You need to be online to listen, and you can’t put streaming tracks on your iPod, so it hardly seems like an equivalent product

Hiccups mar iPhone 3.0 update

Although the iPhone 3.0 update brings some nice new features to the handset, it appears Apple misjudged the level of demand. Apple’s iPhone 3.0 operating system upgrade went live yesterday, but not everyone is happy with the way things went. Reports of Apple’s authentication and file download servers being overloaded are rife, including several errors received by CNet ’s Stephen Shankland when he attempted to upgrade his iPhone to the latest version. The issues, likely to have been caused by a greater than expected demand from iPhone owners to be running the latest build as soon as it was released, extended to even downloading the installer from the App Store section of iTunes with users reporting their downloads timing out before completion several times in a row. Sadly, it appears that these may have been the lucky ones: Gizmodo reports that multiple users are claiming that the upgrade is somehow de-registering their iPhones from AT&T’s US network and ‘bricking’ the handset, causing the ‘phone to enter a locked state – preventing any calls aside from to emergency numbers. Thankfully, that particular issue doesn’t appear to be too widespread – although niggling problems with the authentication servers continued to plague users for most of the launch day. For those who managed to persevere with the update, the iPhone 3.0 OS brings some much-needed tweaks that have previously only been available to those hacking types who have jailbroken their handset and installed third party software. Among the new features are support for the on-screen keyboard when in landscape orientation, an in-built voice recording app, improvements to the search and calendar functions, support for stereo Bluetooth headets, and a faster build of Safari.
