IGN responds to One Last Continue's inquiry into the origins of their less-than-impartial MusicHub web portal. Austin Walker talks to IGN's Peer Schneider to get to the bottom of the MusicHub situation.
As the world reels from the shockwaves of the seismic news that Microsoft is acquiring the proverbial swamp of the video-game landscape, Activision Blizzard King, it only seems natural that our minds should now shift towards what the fallout will be for presumably years if not decades to come.
Another Prototype would be awesome.
As for Singularity, I don't necessarily need a sequel, I just want to see Raven be able to flex their creative muscle again; not just be relegated to assisting with CoD. A lot of the old guard is still with the company.
That's part of what I'm hoping to see come from this acquisition. Revive teams like Vicarious Visions and Ravem to actually allow them to work on their own new projects again.
I'd like to see Activision get the Transformers license again and continue the War and Fall of Cybertron games. the movie games were crap and the game that combined both movie and Fall and War of Cybertron sucked a new Prototype would also be good as well.
Re-imagining of River Raid and the original adventurer Pitfall. Oh Zork is also a great game.
Top 10 Wrestlers in Non-Wrestling Games by Level Down Games It’s no surprise to anyone who watches or listens to our podcasts that we love professional wrestling and video games.

PlayStation Universe takes a look back at some of the games and moments where David Bowie's music struck a chord in videogames.
Ended up doing quite well with ziggy stardust on GH; was only on medium but I still consider it an achievement 😃
Wasn't David Bowie in a Quantic Dreams game during the PS2 era?
I generally prefer IGN over most of the bigger gaming sites but this is a bunch of crap. You can't call something "music hub" then only feature one freakin brand of music gaming.
The GH franchise will do anything to get more sales, if only most people bothered to read reviews they'd see GH is clearly the inferior series and has rated lower than every Rock Band release.
Looks pretty shady to me.
Man I hate where advertising is going.
I have been going to their site for reviews, previews, walkthroughs and guides since the N64 days. News like this does not surprise me. Some people seem to forget a very important fact about the game industry: it is a business. It is about companies making money for their shareholders. This type of "underhanded" or "sneaky" advertising is not new; game companies have done things like pull ads from sites that give less-than-favorable reviews to their games in the past, and this is sort of the flip-side to that. What is scary is that as video games continue to grow in popularity, we have seen things like dynamic advertising in games on the rise, in-game branding and brand whoring (like DC shoes in Dirt 2, etc.), and promotions that link certain games to specific products (Halo and Mt. Dew). So on one hand, you have artists, writers, designers working to get their games valued as the artistic contrabutions they are, but then you have publishers making God of War dolls to cash in on their work in any way possible. Whats next, ads during loading sequences? Having to do marketing surveys before you can enter a games on-line lobby?
