18+ petition for video games in australia

EB games australia has put up a petition to put forward to the government for a 18+ rating in australia

This isnt for more violence in our video games but more to keep up with the rest of the civilised world

We (australia) and germany are one of the only two developed countries in the world that doesnt have a

18+ rating it makes sense that seeing as the average video gamer is in their 20's these days that we keep up.

Australian adults should be able to decide for themselves whats right for them.

Wow, Just learnt that Id, the devs behind favourites like Wolfenstein , Quake, Heretic, Hexen + our beloved DOOM, just got bought out by a company called Zenimax.

Head CEO of the then Id quotes “It’s actually worked out really well. They value development for its own sake, rather than just trying to put something in a box and relying on marketing for sales. They believe in the quality of the product you put in and the value of the entertainment the consumer gets out as what ultimately drives the business. Even more so now than in the past, having a high-quality publishing partner is critical, because the business is so much about either having a hit or being totally irrelevant. There really isn’t a lot of room in the middle.”

Here's a preveiw of their upcoming title RAGE, which uses the Id Tech 5 graphics engine along with Direct x 11 support.

The game is said to be a massive mix of Fallout 3 + Road Warrior + Boarderlands. WOW

If you haven't jumped back into the original 1999 AvP as developed by Rebellion (and recently made re-available via Steam for a very nice price), the UK developer has a new trailer talking about the leaps in technology since their last effort more than 10 years ago, but maintaining that their core vision hasn't changed.

It's great to see the two games side by side like this, and having just had a deeper glimpse at the game recently, believe us when we say the new AvP is the ultimate Aliens, Marines and Predator experience - most likely what fans have been wanting from the potential of all three all along.

I'm sure you're all read stories of Steam users getting their accounts "hacked". Generally through fishing sites or telling people your password.

However it seems that Steam users with old accounts, even if you regularly log on to steam and have the most up-to-date version, may be more vulnerable to having their accounts stolen.

What happened.

Value acknowledges security issue.

Read the full Steam forum thread.

How to check if you're affected:

• Run Steam.
• Goto "Settings"
• Look at "Contact Email:"
• If your email address is followed by (unverified) you are affected.

How to fix the issue:

• Verify your email address with Steam.

I just checked my account and I was vulnerable to the same issue. I log on to Steam at least every few days and have an up-to-date version of Steam. I had no idea that Steam made basic account security opt-in, rather than just put it into one of their regular software updates.

Merry Christmas to all, Have a happy, safe holiday and all the best for 2010

Majestica will be holding team formations on Friday the 8th of January 2009 for Modern Warfare 2. There will be a total of 4 teams of 6 players including 1 from another team as a reserve. Team Captains & 2ic's will also be assigned as well as team names that its members will agree on. Members will lose a chance at their positions & roles; therefore non-Attending members will have to wait for the next formation date to be assigned into a team. Hope all can be there. Cheers
