• Treyarch combating trade-ins by supporting Black Ops multiplayer September 10, 2010
  Developers and publishers have gone to some pretty drastic measures to prevent having their new products put through the Gamestop wash, such as EA's Project Ten Dollar, or Ubisoft's highly controversial "Pre-Owned Smart Bomb," which, upon sensing a player's intent to trade a game in, destroys his or her entire city. However, according to Treyarch's Mark Lamia, the developer hopes to combat resales of Call of Duty: Black Ops by making its multiplayer component positively unquittable. "We're going to support the hell out of Black Ops," Lamia recently explained to MCV. "That will be our focus post-release: making sure we keep our fans engaged, and hopefully as a result, they'll want to keep playing our game and won't want to trade it in." A noble goal, but people really love trading in their games, guys. We're afraid of how things might escalate if Treyarch fights to keep their wavering attention. "No, wait, don't go," they might say, "now the game has dinosaurs!"Treyarch combating trade-ins by supporting Black Ops multiplayer originally appeared on Joystiq on Fri, 10 Sep 2010 10:07:00 EST.

• Yahtzee HD now on iPad, please don't scream 'yahtzee!' in public September 10, 2010
  When's the last time you saw another person? A real human being? You see, we're stuck here. Inside the internet. And short of Facebook profile pics and, well, some questionable adult sites (is foot crushing really a thing?) we haven't seen anyone in years. That's why it's so great to see EA bringing another Hasbro classic to yet another digital platform, with its release of Yahtzee HD for iPad. It's just like Yahtzee for real life, except made entirely of ones and zeroes. Miss the tactile feeling of rolling dice out of a plastic cup? Travis Boatman, Vice President of Worldwide Studios for EA Mobile, says that "rolling the dice across the iPad's expansive screen is addicting." Cursed with an army of digi-friends and no meat-based friends, like we are? Use Facebook Connect "to issue friendly challenges and post high scores." All yours for the asking price of $5.

• Steve Young Football iPad commercials draw a Crossfire September 10, 2010
  Steve Young Football, a new iPad/iPhone game, takes a football field and turns it into a venue for bizarrely fun minigames. These two similarly bizarre ads for the game spoof a pair of memorable, early-'90s commercials. Are you ready to grab My Buddy and get caught up in the Crossfire?Continue reading Steve Young Football iPad commercials draw a CrossfireSteve Young Football iPad commercials draw a Crossfire originally appeared on Joystiq on Fri, 10 Sep 2010 06:00:00 EST.
