Since PC games were mentioned I'd like to point out something...

Just something to keep in mind when purchasing a LCD monitor

3 LCD Mfg's Guilty of Price Fixing, $585 Million in Fines

In a plea agreement filed in San Francisco Federal Court, Sharp Corp, LG Display Co. Ltd, and Chunghwa Picture Tubes Ltd. all agreed to pay $585 million USD in fines after being investigated for conspiracy to fix prices on LCD panels.

Capcom DEFINATLY dodged a bullet.

They're game is essentially Dawn of the Dead - The Game...I can't believe Romero lost that!

That dead rising looks like Dawn of the Dead? but if they oughta make lawsuits like that...
that also means contra should sue metal slug for stealing the idea...Game Workshop of Warhammer fame should sue Blizzard and its Warcraft fame, and so on..

As a PC gamer, the PC gaming

As a PC gamer, the PC gaming news makes me very very happy :D

Pc gaming is BOOMING?

More like PC Gaming is BOORING. Nah, just kidding. I play PC games frequently, and there is some really good stuff for it, I just don't see it as my main platform of gaming.

Say...

Why isn't there any news about the new 360 dashboard that launched today? I need to know how good or bad it is before I turn my system on!

-RW-

A REAL dodge

Yeah, that was a MAJOR bullet they dodged.

Obey the Melon!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T291_-6QNAk to learn why I didn't like Resident Evil 4.

Capcom should give some

Capcom should give some credit to Mr. Romero IN CASH and PC gaming rock on with your mouse and keyboard. Make that for the consoles and I'll get Fallout 3 for them till than I'll play it on the PC ( oh and because it's mod and cheat friendly)

Woot for Capcom!

I am a huge fan of GAR's zombies movies, but the man himself is a dick, I went to sundance back in 2001 and he was going to be there and give a lecture, being a film student back then that got me pumped, I took my poster from the org. Dawn of the Dead and spend the extra cash to go see him and then at the end of the lecture he said he was going to give and sign autografs, but while standing in line a guy came and told us the GAR whould only sign items bought tonight at the little koisk up front, when we got to the koisk which GAR was sitting I saw the same poster I had he was selling for 45 bucks, what the hell, I spent 35 to hear the guy talk for about an hour, in which he was about 10 late, now he wanted all of us to shell out up to 45 dollars more? I'm glad Capcom won, GAR is a dick and now hopfully we will see Dead Rising 2

No hump day funny clip of

No hump day funny clip of the week? Or is that switched to Friday now? I thought there was a difference between trailer of the week and internet clip of the week.

GOOD MORE COOKING GAMES!!!

GOOD MORE COOKING GAMES!!! FUC*

Well i think i can play at least once....

wtf

why cant i watch this video? it says its no longer available

"Sorry Capcom"?

...What?
Yes, they dodged a bullet.
Messed up some wordage there, Destin. =)

---
I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

lolzors

Haha sadly Destin is right, if the current consoles made porn more readily available there'd be BOOM in console sales.

All they have to do is make easier and better to use internet browsers build on board and add a Keyboard and Mouse feature. And of course hardware upgrades for better browsing.



Wii Internet

The Wii browser is supposedly getting an update in December. Maybe they decided to finally target the porn freak market?

Computer killed the console star

Now super-monster computer can even emulate "new generation" consoles ...
I prefer consoles than compueter (thinkin that they would have the same games)....I don't know why....maybe because when I remember some games that I played on any console I feel kinda nostalgic, but when I remember computer games... It makes me feel almost nothing
Porno console.... Pornstation... Porncube... xD ... Nintendo "entertainment" system

My god Peta keeps failing everytime

Honestly, first that ridiculs New Super Chick Sisters game to rip Mario. Now Cooking Mama...now that's weak, very weak, and Majesco just one up them, honestly, why are we becoming a enemy to them now? Also, Capcom, you indeed dodge a bullet...and I enjoy those Romero movies myself.
Finally have a Wii and online!
Brawl Code: 3737-9909-1968
Kart Code: 2921-9519-4290

Still looking for a kickass Signature!

LEFT 4 DEAD

It's better on the PC...get a pc

Sportacus - The REAL blue bomber

Capcom really did dodge a bullet

I mean, seriously, how similar are the two, they are almost the same thing, i will always perfer Dawn Of The Dead over Dead Rising, but the two games have their differences though

We'll find a way, when all hope is gone.

Are you stupid?

Seriously. Are you some kind of retard? Dawn of the Dead is a movie. Know your shit, asshole...

Go Romero!

Romero is awesome! I love his movies!

PeTA = FAIL

Gotta love how every "evil" those terrorists protest against only increase that "evil's" popularity...

visit GammaPrimeGames.com

go check the actual

go check the actual game,before you bitch about it, they're not after the game, they're using it.

 Mama Kills Animals

LOL PETA...

Seriously? There isn't anything better for you to do then go after a game that has been out in the market for so long? You probably could have saved animals somewhere else in the globe, but let's forget that and target a cooking video game...makes perfect sense!

Are you ready to be disciplined?
http://www.disciplinedmonkeystudios.com

I don't know how they are

I don't know how they are measuring these gaming PC sales, but that number appears to be really off to me.

There is absolutely no way people are buying more gaming PC's than Wii's alone.

If a gaming PC is something that can run a web browser then maybe your right but those figures really do not add up at all I think. Besides people who usually get a gaming PC end up building they're own or upgrading a normal PC.



After watching this I

After watching this I checked out that Peta game and it is honestly the most bad ass flash game I have ever played. It is gorier then Gears 2! Seriously how cool is this?

http://www.peta.org/cooking-mama/index.asp

only on blip

I can only watch this on blip, not on screwattack why?

heh

In my opinion they are not the same. They might be same from some point. But i can't remember that any boring romero zombie film they used golf club to kill zombies or frying pan.

OBJECTION!!!

The only thing similar to the George's movie is the shopping mall and zombies. Shit, if Romeo would have won this case, imagine what would be the destiny of every space marine shooter there is. It also states in the front cover that:
"This game was not developer, approved or licensed by the owners of creators of George A.Romeo's Dawn of the Dead"

Capcom had every right to win that bitch.

lol, Capcom, you lucky

lol, Capcom, you lucky dogs.

Romero rocks.

-- God Bless.

Dawn of the Dead, is Dead Rising... kind of...

Dawn of the Dead or Dead Rising.

What does the sun do at dawn? It rises. This is also a metaphor for the emergence of the undead.

In a way, the name of the game and movie are very similar.

I guess the only way it could of been more obvious. Is if the game were called Morning of the Dead.

The Dead Rising sequel could be called Evening of the Undead Corpses (Night of the Living Dead), and they'd be able to get away with it.

cmon that lawsuit was silly,

cmon that lawsuit was silly, the us courts should fine people and companies that make them loose theyr time whit ridiculous claims like this, then ID software can sue every single company that ever made a FPS cause they where first, isnt contra just mario bros whit a gun, and castlevania is mario bros whit a whip, and dead space is a ripoff of event horizon, its silly if the name where the same or the some especific situations (outside of the generic zombies in a mall scenario) then "maybe" they would have a case, an sure PCs sell more than console nowadays a gaming pc its the most price-effective way of getting a powerfull sistem for everyday work, especially if you are into CAD or GD, i build networks for big companies and i always recommend base level gaming PCs for terminals they are really good pieces of hardware, heck i have 3 of them in my house and 5 at work, thats a total of 8 against only 3 sistems, and i am one of the very few people that own all sistems (judging for the fanboy wars in this site it seems that most people just have one)

dawn of dead =/= dead rising

If they can sue someone for loading up a mall with zombies, then Final Fantasy should be able to dish out law suits whenever someone makes a game about crazy haired resistance groups fighting against a ubiquitous military faction who doesn't give a crap about the enviroment.

Wow, I hate Peta

I'm all for treating animals better, but Peta is such propagandist bull-shit. Cooking a turkey looks nothing like the way they portray, it certainly is a lot more appetizing. And then their way is suddenly squeaky clean. And personally I don't take so much malice into making a food.

Honestly how can Peta look at a constant renewing food source that evolves with us, and dismiss it because they have a boner for anything that's not a human?

So did those numbers only

So did those numbers only account for noobs who bought pre-assembled gaming PCs? Or the individual components?

In my experience, most PC gamers build our own.

You suck.

Destin. You suck. I want you to remove yourself from my internet immediately.

And I really don't see how loading a mall with zombies is grounds for a lawsuit. That would be like Tolkien suing TSR for having elves in a forest. Capcom didn't do anything wrong. They didn't steal any characters from Dawn of the Dead, the mall is completely different, the overall plot is different, and Dead Rising isn't about consumerism, it's about killing zombies in a mall.

And who gives a shit about the music? Seriously, that's just dumb.

If anything, Dead Rising was an homage to Dawn of the Dead. All of you people saying Capcom ripped it off are morons.
