Protesting the release of Grand Theft Auto IV, which lands at retail on April 29, outspoken videogame critic Jack Thompson has written a strongly worded letter addressed to the mother of Take-Two Interactive chairman Strauss Zelnick.
According to ShackNews, in the letter the Florida attorney equates Strauss to Hitler Youth, asks Mrs. Zelnick why her porn-peddling son doesn’t leave her shamed, accuses Strauss of causing the death of three Alabama police officers, quotes scripture and asks if she was involved in training her son to push Mature-rated games onto children. Thompson did however find it in his heart to wish the nice lady a Happy Mother’s Day.
Oh Jack, you’re a sweetheart. In other news Thompson’s legal career is still hanging in the balance as a Florida judge is ruling on a trial that could see him disbarred from practicing law in Florida. Wonder what Jack’s mother thinks about that.

Upcoming multiplayer focused shooter, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is closing in on release and we’ve a few fresh screens of the Xbox 360 version. In development from Nerve Software, the team behind the Return to Wolfenstein Xbox port, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is a class based first person shooter in the Quake universe.
While the original Computer release from Fall ‘07 was marketed as a serious shooter, the console version’s marketing has taken a slightly different approach, hence our silly headline. The Xbox 360 and PS3 version of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars lands at retail on May 27.

It’s been rumored for a while, and even officially confirmed for fiscal year 2008, but we really don’t know much about the next Prince of Persia game. The loose talk is that the next trilogy will be a form of prequel, and it looks as though the first game of said trilogy could be called Prodigy. Recently trademarked by Ubisoft, Prince of Persia Prodigy is an admittedly vague title and could possibly refer to another PoP product, but with a new official teaser site up and the game rumored to be hitting this fall, an official name hitting now feels about right.
Furthermore, other rumors say that the game will be shown at Ubidays (an editorial event) sometime in the near future and that the game’s REAL title is in fact Prince of Persia Zero. We’ll just have to wait for Ubidays for more concrete info, but those with time to kill can endlessly refresh the official page to attempt to swiftly decipher the writing before it’s covered.

Okay, we’ll fess up to it. This Mega64 video isn’t exactly 360 related. However, we’ll defend ourselves by saying that it is related to Street Fighter several iterations of which will soon be found on the Xbox 360. Beyond that, it’s just really funny. Stupid, but funny. We’d love to say more, but that would honestly be spoiling it. So, enjoy. Oh, and if by some bizarre chance you don’t get the reference, we’ve embedded an educational video after the break.

MTV’s Multiplayer speculated and has now confirmed that Microsoft is currently hiring new team members for Peter Jackson’s mysterious Halo-related project. The speculation arose when Microsoft posted several new job listings looking for people to “help develop a new experience in the Halo universe” alongside an “external luminary.” So, Halo and a luminary. Sounds like Peter’s project to us.
While at first it seemed strange that Microsoft would only now be hiring for the project, Microsoft followed up with MTV to clear things up. The company told MTV, “Microsoft Game Studios has been hard at work collaborating with Peter Jackson and Bungie on the development of [a Peter Jackson-helmed Halo project]. At this time, it’s necessary to grow the internal team to keep pace with development. Bungie will continue to remain involved in multiple aspects of the Halo Universe with MGS.” So, it turns out that the project’s development team is merely expanding — as opposed to just now being formed — which would indicate the project has become more expansive as well.
Let’s hope we have the ability to hear some news about the actual game sometime soon. Seriously, we’re starving for info.

We love the weeks when the winning game-related webcomics seem to garner the most negative comments. However, the winner is decided by votes and not naysayers, so we’re giving the (digital and valued at US $0) trophy to Dueling Analogs this week.
Second and third place to go 2P Start and Funny Farm, respectively. Thanks to everyone who voted and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomic you stumble upon this week!

The PlayStation Blog twisted our perceptions this day with the announcement that an Echochrome demo will be contorting PSN tomorrow. Of course, enterprising individuals have already played the demo via the intertubes, but here’s the opportunity for us less tech savvy plebs to get in on (a sample of) the Echochrome fun.
Prepare to savor every MC Escher inspired level of the demo for now. There’s still no actual date for the full version of Echochrome, but it’s apparently due sometime in Might.

Here’s the song by Korn that was made Ubisoft’s and Free Radical’s Haze. The song is called Haze and Korn performed it live at a concert. The song is available on Korn’s new album that was released over seas. To quote the press release, this is “Cutting-edge videogame meets cutting-edge metal”. Yeah, Korn was cutting edge five years ago. This day, not so much.
Eh, who am I kidding? None of you give a shit about this. Luckily, we have three new videos that you’ll care about after the jump. All three videos show off the multiplayer aspect of the game and shows off some of the various weapons you will be able to use.
