Quote:Robert Crais, author of L.A.-based crime novels, is seeking monetary compensation from Activision, claiming that elements in the game are taken right out of his books. He is also moving for a court-ordered cancellation of the upcoming release of the game, as well as the "destruction of all infringing works." Crais claims that the True Crime anti-hero, Nick Kang, is strikingly similar to his character Elvis Cole, the anti-hero in his series of 9 novels.
No decisions have been made yet concerning the November 4th release date of the game. It's up to the Los Angeles U.S. District Court whether the game will be cancelled, or if Activision will simply have to pay damages. Neither side has yet to make a public statement regarding the lawsuit.
Hopefully, if this guy wins Activision will only have to pay a settlement, because True Crime looked like it could be good GTA-esque game.
now i would say that i use that green pert plus, but they they recently added vicks to the shampoo, only instead of calling it shampoo with vicks in it they went and stuck a big label that says FRESH on the bottle. so now i wash my hair and it feels like ive rubbed vicks all over my head. i just cant believe it. ive used their same friggin shampoo since before i can remember and they go and wreck it. i just dont know what to do, maaaaaan. if they can take my shampoo then whats next? my frosted flakes? butter? whipped cream? just when you think youve got it going, BAM! they go and screw up your shampoo
Starting October 19th and ending on the 25th, TRU will have another one of those great "buy two, get the third one of equal or lesser value for free" deals for all Gamecube games, and the following week all X-Box and PS2 titles will have the same deal (and they'll be mix and match for the X-Box and PS2). That would be a great deal for you ABF, if you could afford it. You could get Rebel Strike, Viewtiful Joe, and Ikaruga for around $90 total.
*waits for DJ to come in and say "What, do you work for Toys R Us or something like that??"
I just thought that some of you would appreciate knowing about this.
