Player X and Paramount go mobile with The Love Guru
June 21, 2008
It’s not surprising that Player X and Paramount just launched the game ‘The Love Guru’ for mobile phones. They are making the game available through more than 140 carriers, making it accessible to over 2.3 billion people. We don’t know a lot about the game here, but we do know that the title is made up of 6 mini-games where you try to beat various mental challenges to achieve total enlightenment. As an interesting side note, we do know Jessica Alba is a gamer, so I’d definitely like to get her thoughts on the game. We sent her an email, so will see if we ever get a response…
“We’re delighted to be working with Paramount Digital Entertainment on The Love Guru. A Mike Myers’ movie is a big event and we have worked very closely with Paramount Pictures to ensure the game matches the quality, humour and originality of the movie,” said Tony Pearce, Player X CEO.

Metal Gear Online: Open Beta in Europe confirmed
April 11, 2008
I’ve been waiting for some good news concerning the open beta for Metal Gear Online in Europe and just got the latest press release in my inbox. I have a strong feeling that Metal Gear Online will be a smashing success for the Sony PS3 and could possibly be the best selling game the console has ever seen. It’s still early for predictions though. If you are interested in checking out the beta, the following information should help you in your quest for knowledge:
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH announced Metal Gear Online Premiere Beta for Kojima Productions’ online epicKonami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced its plans for a public beta program across Europe for its forthcoming Metal Gear Online title for PLAYSTATION®3. Konami will release Metal Gear Online Premiere Beta via the PlayStation Store from April 17th, with online tests running from April 21st through May 6th. An all-new Metal Gear title specifically designed as a multi-player online experience, Metal Gear Online will be released worldwide as part of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots on June 12th. The beta program will offer players a unique chance to sample the innovative multi-player experience of Metal Gear Online, which emphasizes cooperative team-based play. Those downloading the beta will be invited to explore two maps – “Blood Bath” and “Groznyi Grad” – each of which requires unique strategies in order to achieve victory. Metal Gear Online will launch as part of Guns of the Patriots in June as a Starter Pack, comprising five unique stages: “Ambush Alley,” where trenches and sandbags litter an arena built for close and medium range combat; “Blood Bath,” a two-tier battle setting; and “Groznyi Grad,” the expansive Shagohod development complex from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater which features human catapults that propel players to different areas of the environment. Rounding out the five stage set are the dusty, Middle Eastern alleyways found in Guns of the Patriots entitled “Midtown Maelstrom,” and the rooftop settings of “Urban Ultimatum.” Konami is committed to the release of additional Expansion Packs to be released throughout the year. Up to 16 people can play simultaneously, with game worlds created using Guns of the Patriots’s incredible 3D engine. Retaining the classic stealth combat gameplay of the Metal Gear series, players are dropped in a series of war zones wherein different challenges await. Five game modes await players on stages that span the globe and the history of MGS: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture and Base and Sneaking missions.
