It should be noted however that Xbox Live or Microsoft are not actually at fault here. Technically Xbox Live has not been breached as the group acquired e-mails and passwords from a variety of sources, and that information was tested as login info to Xbox Live. In other words, the people at risk most here are the ones who use the same e-mail and password for accounts across multiple sites and services.

Methodis spreading anti-MS fud, fake info. Big shocker!!

Publisher’s sports division confirms departure of Madden games boss

Phil Frazier, the longstanding executive producer for the Madden series, has parted ways with Electronic Arts.

EA Sports says the experienced product manager “was looking for a new opportunity” in retiring from the group after fourteen years.

“Our team is changing to tackle new opportunities and we're confident in the new organisational structure and leadership we have in place,” the company told Kotaku.

Frazier’s walkout continues a string of high-profile departures at the publisher. The link between them, if any, has not been explained.

In March, EA’s second-in-command John Schappert departed from the company to join Zynga.

In April an unnamed EA Tiburon boss quit the company (very likely to be Ian Cummings, the Madden NFL creative director).

EA Easy Studio boss Ben Cousins, meanwhile, departed late in March – one day after Visceral Games boss Scot Amos resigned.

Honestly, if Backbreaker had decided to grow a pair when it came to shared online content, it might have been the grail for an NFL community.

Payday looks neat. Is it wrong that I'm getting SWAT vibes but playing from the perspective of the perpetrators? Any case looks like a fun co-op experience.

anyway, new Binary Domain story trailer:

its really disappointing. It's decent enough but nowhere near as good as the first game. Its much easier and the level design sucks. Big levels that you can swing right through and ignore everything. BCR1 had balanced, challenging levels with lots of tough obstacles to overcome. The music is mad sweet though. If you've got nothing else to play you could do worse.

BCR2 is okay, it's just a 7/10 game. Nothing amazing, but still good enough. It was just dumbed down a bit from BCR1.

http://techcrunch.com/2011/06/22/popcap-games-to-be-acquired-for-1-billion/

Quote

Huge news in the gaming world: PopCap Games, the company behind such hits as Plants vs Zombies and Bejeweled, is in the process of being acquired — and we’re hearing from multiple sources that the price is over $1 billion.

The question now is who the buyer is. The obvious possibility is Zynga, which has made a string of game-related acquisitions over the last year. But we’re hearing they’re out. Our sources say that Zynga did indeed kick the tires hard on a potential acquisition, but it looks like the company couldn’t get comfortable with the price PopCap was asking for.

Popcap’s revenues are in the range of $100-150 million, we hear — and a price of over $1 billion would have put the deal at a possible 10x multiple, which may have been too rich for Zynga’s blood. So who else could it be?

We’ve heard that it might be videogaming powerhouse Electronic Arts, though the acquisition would be a very large one for the company (EA’s market cap is $7.49 billion). That said, it wouldn’t be EA’s first big bet on a hot gaming startup: they acquired Playfish in 2009 for up to $400 million after earnouts.

Update: We’ve heard from multiple sources that the buyer is Electronic Arts.

oh sure it doesn't matter to me at all,and to be fair i see it as a good thing since it is indeed dumb that people can't play a game because nintendo doesn't want you to do so but at the same time i find it somewhat laughable
