○     Original lawsuit filed by former employees was requesting $500 MILLION in damages.

●     Seen posts by other Activision employees saying the work environment is even worse than what is reported here.

●     Activision withheld half of Infinity Ward’s bonus payouts, unless they published MW3 by Nov 2011.

●     When a group of employees met with CFO Thomas Tippl in April to demand the bonus, according to the suit, Tippl responded “Get over it.”

●     There will be a hearing in front of a judge on Aug. 5 to see the trials of both suits against Activision will be consolidated into one trial. A trial date was set for May 23, two weeks before next year’s E3 is set to get underway.

○     They’re still going to work on “Triple-A Console Games” but believe that the future of gaming is in social networking, handheld devices, and MMOs.

○     Specific mentions of iPhones, iPads and the 3DS, as well as browser MMOs.

○     “There will be some stuff you’ll see down the road, within the next year, that shows what we’re doing in that regard.”

REVIEWS:

 

DeathSpank

From creator Ron Gilbert, who created “Maniac Mansion” and “Monkey Island”

              + Art Style

              + Scripting

              + A lot of equipment-driven customization

              + Cheap!  It’s only US$15

              – Boring, repetitive quests

              – Only ~8 hours of gameplay

              – Co-op mode features a stripped-down secondary character with few                                             abilites and no customization.  Lame.

 

Deathspank Visuals:

Crackdown 2

Three years since the original, yet very little has changed or been improved.

More of the same, with just a few extras thrown in:

              4-player Co-Op mode                 -AND- 16-player Arena mode

 

              + Skill progression is a neat “use it to improve it” system (kinda like Fable2)

              + Very sandboxy – wide open exploration with orb collection being the primary goal.

              + The game is very fun, but all the best parts were present in the original.

              – Multi-player modes feel half-assed, missing key co-operative features.

              – No storyline to speak of

              – Graphics aren’t very good, and game has been known to stutter

              – Camera sometimes moves erratically

We review the hot new gaming on-demand streaming service, OnLive! Find out how well it plays on low-end and high-end systems, low bandwidth and high bandwidth and what the game selection is like.

Plus – We question if Take-Two Interactive, (the publisher of popular games series such as, BioShock, Civilization Grand Theft Auto, MLB/NBA/NHL 2k and many more games) can really produce a entirely new IP every single year.

Then we tell you why we are so excited about Deathspank, and share our thoughts on Hulu coming to the PS3 & Xbox 360.

More Info about OnLive:

OnLive is a new gaming service with a unique proposition: instead of downloading and running games traditionally on your computer, you run the games on their remote data centers and they stream the audiovisual output to your computer.

Games are stored on the OnLive service, and streamed to you when you want them.

In our testing, you’ll need at least a steady 700k/sec (about 5.5 megabits) down to get 720p output.

All this and more, on this week’s Legend of the Stoned Owl!

Microsoft demo's Kinect, have they changed our minds? Is the PS Move a better Wii? Or is Sony really bringing something new here? We discuss! The 3DS has us torn, it's one big step forward, but maybe a few important steps back? We share our thoughts. OnLive had a big showing at E3 this year and we share our pre-hands on thoughts on OnLive and what it could mean if it really works. Tune in next episode for a full review!
