The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week.

Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

    Ken Revealed for Street Fighter V, Fans Shocked and Outraged

    Look everyone, it's Street Fighter's Ken! Here he is as he appears in Street Fighter V. Surprised that Ken is in a new Street Fighter game? Yeah, neither is anybody else. What is shocking is that he now looks drastically different than what everyone is used to. Apparently, not too many people are completely sold on the new look for the old favorite.

    Ken now supposedly has a more "in-your-face" fighting style. I'm guessing this is Capcom's attempt to make him play (and looks)...

    John Smedley is Going After Convicted Lizard Squad Member

    John Smedley, the former CEO of Sony Online Entertainment and current CEO of Daybreak, has a small bone to pick with Julius "zeekill" Kivimaki.

Kivimaki claims to have been part of the Lizard Squad group that claimed responsibility for bringing down Xbox Live and PlayStation Network this past Christmas. You would think that someone found guilty of over 50 thousand charges would come with a rather severe punishment, right? Not so if you live in Finland.

    AMD Reportedly Halts Mantle Development

    Mantle, the little API that could is apparently winding down on the development side of things. This is according to AnandTech, who in their review of the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X, says that there are no more improvements coming for Mantle.

Vulkan is essentially the rebirth of OpenGL and was actually initially called the "next generation ...

    This past E3 (2015), Kojima and Konami showed off roughly 40 minutes of gameplay for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Afterwards, Kojima promised to show off some alternate gameplay options for the same mission. Today, he made good on his promise.
