What does this mean exactly? Well it means that parents can rest easy knowing that these two games are fun, informative, and free of questionable content. If your kid plays either of these two games, you don’t have to look over their shoulder to police what they’re doing. The game takes steps to keep your kids safe and to make sure they’ll have a good time too!
Other recipients that weren’t from the online MMO category included EA’s Spore, and Guitar Hero On Tour, so it certainly speaks to the quality of these two titles for kids when they’re put in that sort of company.
Modern Warfare 2 and it’s blockbuster sales are all over the mainstream news this week. And who’s there to walk them through the game, and the inevitable backlash? Our very own Stephen Totilo….

Do you sometimes wish that when everybody is kung fu fighting they didn’t all look so alike? NCsoft seems to feel the same way, because they’ve now made available the City of Heroes Super Booster IV: Martial Arts for ten bucks. Yes, now when you’re fighting foes with malicious martial intent you’ll look “spiffy” and whatever other adjective you feel like tossing into the equation. The booster comes with more than costume pieces, however. It also contains ninja-theme costume change animations and a ninja running power. There’s also two new emotes for roleplayers, who tend to be the biggest emote fans.
This makes the fourth booster pack since the original (or microtransaction bundle, if you like) for City of Heroes and you can bet there will be plenty more as long as these continue to sell. Our guess for the next addition? Mutants would be a safe bet; mutants or zombies.

The folks behind James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game didn’t have to struggle too hard to make their videogame look lifelike. Director Cameron did most of the heavy lifting (and reportedly spent $500 million) when it came to clawing up and out of the uncanny valley.
The new trailer for the Avatar videogame underlines the lengths the game’s designers have gone to in an effort to match the look and feel of the movie’s fantastical setting. Notice, though, that you don’t get a good look at the characters played by Avatar stars Sigourney Weaver, Sam Worthington or Michelle Rodriguez.
But who needs realistic-looking celebrities when you’ve got power armor, space marines and crazy alien monsters? The Avatar game is due from Ubisoft on Dec. 1; the Avatar movie hits theaters Dec. 18.
I know a whole bunch of you are interested in and/or big fans of Demon’s Souls. Looks like its popularity in Japan was enough for Sony to make a Dynamic Theme available for purchase. The theme itself costs 200 yen ($2.25 US).
From the looks of it, the theme randomly loads up different views of the “Nexus”, kind of like the way regular themes with multiple wallpapers do. It’s far from flashy and doesn’t have too much movement, but at least it’s not static images! Given the popularity of the franchise in western territories, do you think it would, or should, make its way here? And if so, would you purchase it? In my opinion, it’s always nice to see more and more dynamic themes available on the PSN.
While download games are certainly becoming more popular, Take-Two CEO Ben Feder doesn’t think packaged games are going anywhere anytime soon.
