Quote:The lawfirm of Cauley Geller Bowman Coates & Rudman is filing a class action lawsuit against Acclaim Entertainment on behalf of Acclaim's investors. The complaint alleges that Acclaim issued statements about the company's income and financial performance that were either misleading or false, and that investors suffered as a result.

Interestingly, listed in the information that Acclaim allegedly withheld from investors is information about the lagging sales of Turoc: Evolution (sic), and Aggressive Inline. The suit also says that by developing games like BMX XXX, the company severely limited its ability to get into retail channels that it needed to sell the games. Other issues the suit mentions include the company's inability to track certain important pieces of sales information, and that there was no basis for any optimism in any public statements made by Acclaim.

The crux of the complaint is that when Acclaim issued a statement that it was expecting to report an operating loss for the 4th quarter, shares dropped precipitously, losing almost 30% of their value in a single day. Basically, the suit says that this performance proves that Acclaim was lying about its financial health in earlier reports.

If you are an shareholder in Acclaim and bought shares between January 11th, 2002, and September 19th, 2002, you can go to the Cauley Geller website and file to be included in the complaint.

My brother and I went to a second-hands sports store today and we found something very strange. But also extremely cool! It's called a JVC X'EYE. It plays Genesis games, Sega CD, and it even plays karaoke! We got it for only $20 and it's a good replacement for my old Sega CD with a broken laser lens.




So, post about any strange gaming device [or game] you've come across.

Fallout announced for PS2 and XBox

Quote:Interplay has announced that Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is currently in development for the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox. The game is set shortly after the events that transpired in the original Fallout for the PC, when humans are emerging from underground shelters after a nuclear holocaust. In their battle against mutant raiders and pirates, players will uncover a plot that involves plans to turn the remnants of humanity into a race of mutants with the use of a special device. One to two players will have access to a variety of weapons, including melee and range weapons as well as explosives.
"We're very excited about bringing the Fallout universe to console gamers," said Scot Lane, executive producer at Interplay. "The gameplay is more attuned to the console platform, stressing more action and combat than the PC versions, which placed a greater emphasis on RPG elements or strategy."

Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is scheduled for release this fall.

my idea is to turn it into a movie forum, This way we can talk about the new upcoming matrix movies and any other movie.
Its seems pointless to have internet cafe if you got multiconsole city.

My 2 cents.

FAO Schwartz's online retail site has GameCubes listed at an amazing $66.98! By now they're probably sold out, however the site still lists the machine as 'in stock'.

If for whatever reason you really want another GameCube, or if for whatever reason you still don't have one, I would think it behooves you to try and take advantage of this while you can... cause seventy bones is nothing!

From Games Are Fun:

Quote:Skies of Arcadia 2 in early planning stages
In a recent interview with Kikizo Games, the presidents of several of Sega's outstanding research and development teams sat down to talk about several subjects, including future projects.

The article is a great read but, for brevity's sake, we've gathered the most enticing tidbits here. First up, when asked whether OverWorks would make a sequel to the Dreamcast and GameCube classic, Skies of Arcadia, Noriyoshi Oba stated that the game is in the planning stages. Definitely good news for those who can't wait to hit the skies again.

Tetsuya Mizuguchi, head honcho at United Game Artists (UGA), said he would be very interested in making a sequel to Rez. He was disappointed by the first game's sales, but he feels that giving the series another chance wouldn't be foolish.

The legendary Yu Suzuki discussed AM2's upcoming GameCube adventure, Virtua Figher Quest. Even though details have been sparse at best, rumors of its cancellation are seemingly false as development is moving along. Suzuki claims that VF Quest will have some RPG elements, but will be an adventure game, through and through. Also, while the Shenmue series (once thought to be a Virtua Fighter RPG), has a very realistic look to it, Virtua Fighter Quest will have super-deformed characters.

Seau saying goodbye to Chargers

When he signed a contract extension three years ago, linebacker Junior Seau thanked the organization and said he was proud that he would end his career as a Charger.

That was then.

Last night, Seau said he has played his final game for the team he grew up idolizing. The Chargers have given his agent permission to talk trade with other NFL clubs, and if one doesn't materialize, Seau said he expects to be released.

"It's definitely good and bad," Seau said after speaking with coach Marty Schottenheimer. "It's time for us to part ways. There will be some disgruntled people and disgruntled fans, but it was time. I have so many great memories from my time in San Diego, but I look forward to the challenge ahead. I have no regrets about what was done. I wish everyone the best."

Seau, 34, a future Hall of Famer and 12-time Pro Bowler who has been the public face of the Chargers almost from the day they selected him in the first round of the 1990 draft, said he will discuss the situation in greater detail today during a 3 p.m. news conference at his Mission Valley restaurant.

He said he was surprised by developments, even though the Chargers have undergone a dramatic turnover since John Butler took over as general manager two years ago.

"For the most part, this is a moment that we all need to think about and rehearse for and be prepared for," Seau said. "There's just so much going on when a transaction such as this happens. For the most part, what we want to do is better ourselves. But this is an action that's coming from above."

Schottenheimer spoke by phone with Seau last night. He said it was an organizational decision to allow Seau to seek a trade, although it remains unclear what prompted the action.

"Look, this is not easy for me," Schottenheimer said. "Junior Seau embodies everything you want in a player – work ethic, dedication, passion. But we felt this was something we needed to do, and we wanted to do it right. That's why we extended the courtesy to Junior and his representative to try to see if there's a trade that can be reached."

Schottenheimer said it's not implausible that Seau could return next season. Seau said there's no chance. The Oceanside native has tremendous pride, and there's no way he's going to return to a team that ostensibly said it no longer desires his services.

Seau said he already has talked with at least two teams. Complicating matters is that teams are leery of making a trade if they feel they can wait and get the player without compensation when he's released.

"Marvin and I are going to be proactive," Seau said, referring to his agent, Marvin Demoff. "No matter what's being said, I'm here to say that we have a deal where we have permission to seek the market, and that's great. We're going to do that.

"All I want to do is put on another hat and carry on and do what I do best – on two healthy ankles. That's where we are."

Seau missed three games and part of another last season because of an ankle injury that required postseason surgery. The Chargers' defense ranked last in the league against the pass in 2002 and suffered a handful of fourth-quarter collapses that contributed to seven losses in the final nine games.

It's doubtful there will be a quick fix for the unit this offseason, especially considering so much money has been spent on the offensive side of the ball with the signings of fullback Lorenzo Neal and wide receiver David Boston.

So perhaps the Chargers think it would be wiser to go with younger players rather than stick with veterans who aren't likely to be on the roster in a couple of years when the club might be ready to turn the corner.

Whatever the case, the fire and intensity that Seau brings will be missing this fall.

"There's something hidden between the lines here," Seau said. "It just doesn't make any sense. But there's nothing that I can say that is negative. It's definitely going to be different. But I look forward to carrying on somewhere else."
=============================================

They could move to LA for all I care now. This isn't the Chargers anymore. I used to be a huge Broncos fan until they gutted the team after their 2nd Super Bowl win. I was particularly angry when they cut Steve Atwater, the heart and leader of their defense, one of the best safeties ever, and my favorite player. After that, the team was completely different and has underachieved since. Now the Chargers have done the exact same thing to Seau.
