A new listing on the
Australian Classification Board reveals that Konami is working on a game called "Battle: Los Angeles," under development by Saber Interactive (known for TimeShift, currently working on Inversion). Whether this game is tied into the upcoming
Battle: Los Angeles movie is uncertain, especially since the game has not even announced yet, and the movie is due in March. However an indication of "Strong violence" and the fact that Saber Interative is known for shooter/action games leans towards a movie adaptation, albeit maybe a late one.

Wine, spaghetti, meatballs, The Social Network and sleep...
That pretty much summed up last night, and it was all pretty awesome.
This morning was spent watching YouTube clips of Gary Moore, who passed away
earlier this month. Saw some amazing performances like
Parisienne Walkway, an awesome solo on
Empty Rooms, an incredible cover version of
The Thrill Is Gone with BB King, a live performance of
Still Got The Blues (which made me tear up), and
a sizzling tribute to Jimi Hendrix's Red House.
Too bad Gary Moore was way more popular in Europe than in North America. A lot of people are missing out on unbelievable-sounding guitar work, which we'll never get to hear live again.

It's not pretty out there. It's dark and gloomy, and there are high winds and torrential rain. I'm
so staying inside.
Not sure why
Ubisoft decided to release Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood for PC. Most people who wanted it either picked up the console version or moved on to other titles. Then somebody over at HQ will probably wonder why it doesn't sell well ...
Later this week, we are going to be giving away a batch of beta codes for
Mythos. It'll be a first come, first serve, so keep an eye out. They'll be going fast!
