    EA kills Battlefield 3: Aftershock for good

    By

    Battlefield 3: Aftershock is an iOS installment of EA's popular shooter franchise. And, to quote the immortal film critic Jay Sherman, "it stinks." Aftershock is so bad that our own Mike Thompson did more than warn our readers away from the game: he advised them to not even look at it, lest its rotten-fish interface melt your skin like a certain Ark of the Covenant. In response to overwhelmingly bad reviews, EA is permanently suspending development on Battlefield 3: Aftershock. You may look upon the App Store again without fear.

    This week in gaming news: March 2, 2012

    By

    Welcome to March. It was in like a lion, and it'll probably be out like five lions. As far as social gaming news goes, the month certainly began with a kaboom. Zynga announced its very own platform, indie hit Limbo might be coming to mobile platforms, and an iPad 3 announcement is on the horizon. Finally, if a Facebook RPG closes and nobody seems to notice, do its cries of pain still echo through time?

    Sony says it’s open to putting its IPs on social and mobile platforms

    By

    Gaming is becoming more and more fragmented thanks to the availability of multiple consoles, phones, and handhelds, to say nothing of all the free stuff that's available on Facebook. It's enough to make a game lover ask, "Why can't we live in peace? Why can't console engineers just put some of their exclusive IPs on mobile platforms?" Surprisingly, Sony has said, "You know what? That's not such a bad idea."

    Joustin’ Beaver drama continues as RC3 files pre-emptive lawsuit against Justin Bieber

    By

    Leave it to Bieber. Last week, a lawyer in the employ of pop sensation Justin Bieber informed the RC3 game studio that their iOS title, Joustin' Beaver, illegally utilizes Bieber's name and likeness. Bieber's lawyer handed RC3 a Cease and Desist notice, and said the developer had two days to remove the app before further legal action was taken. RC3's response was "Uh, no," and the studio has since filed a pre-emptive lawsuit against Bieber on the grounds that Joustin' Beaver is parody, and is therefore protected by the United States' First Amendment.

    Is Playdead considering a mobile port of Limbo?

    By

    How do you feel about thick mists, gigantic spiders that prey on children, and little boys who wander through deadly black-and-grey purgatories with their eyes glowing like unworldly foglamps? If you answered "Man, I am all about that," then Playdead might have a career for you. Going by a job listing on Gamasutra.com, it's possible that the Denmark-based studio is looking for someone to help them port last year's indie hit, Limbo, onto mobile platforms.
