EBC Skirmish 077: Absolute Online Ass II: The Wrath of Ass

Unite the clans and ready the forge; its time for another edition of EpicBattleCry! This week, we’re checking out Killzone 3…in 3D, contemplating the delay of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (and its arrival on the iPhone), mulling over the new media for Bulletstorm, and screaming ‘why?!’ to the heavens over the Heavy Rain film adaptation.

After last week’s discussion around the Online Pass initiative, we were hoping to spend this episode doing something constructive, like destroying a sock drawer, but THQ had other plans. They’ve just announced that they will be implementing a one-time $5 fee in order for gamers who pick up a used copy of UFC Undisputed 2010 to access the online content of the game. So, armed with fresh feedback from the EpicBattleAxe community, we charge once again into the melee. Why don’t game publishers just compete at retail with GameStop; how far will they go to tax players for shopping there; can we speak with our wallets and still play the games we love? Saddle up friends, this ride has just begun.

The Battle Cry of the Week goes to Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the Night, Google’s Pac-man mashup, the Axhead Army, and calls for a sensible approach to annual game releases.

UPDATE: The server goblins massed an attack on the eastern wall earlier tonight. We repelled them, but many brave comments were lost in the struggle. We pray mighty Odin shall resurrect the fallen that they may live to cry again. But seriously, just repost your comments please…sorry about the mess.
