Is this a solution for the fight against product piracy.

trials2 Piracy is here! Game Developer RedLynx shares hacked Demos via BitTorrent Sites ‘Trials 2’ is the name of the game created by RedLynx. It looks like resignation that The Game Developper put their ‘hacked’ copies  on various BitTorrent sites also Torrentfreak reports that RedLynx

“… has no way of knowing whether the free marketing on torrent sites has paid off. Thus far RedLynx has sold almost 150,000 copies of the game, but unlike the CEO claims, it is also available on torrent sites in a version where the leaderboard functionality is hacked.”

What do you think about this scenario?

The game companies give away their games for free via Bittorrent.The money for deveolopment and Marketing will come from selling, additional software, tools, hacks, merchandising, etc.

Choosing which games to include in this list wasn’t difficult, choosing in which order they deserve to appear was decidedly more tricky. But here goes!

1. Metal Gear Solid

When it comes to stealth games, you’re either a Metal Gear Solid or Splinter Cell fan, there’s really very little middle ground on the issue! Fans of Metal Gear Solid point to its superior gameplay, characterisation and storylines; while others argue that super-realistic graphics and tactical gameplay make Splinter Cell the greatest stealth game ever released.

For me, Metal Gear Solid is the original and still the best. Released on the PlayStation in 1998, it popularised the stealth genre, setting the standard for all stealth… Read the rest

Joystick Playstation Blog http://playstation.joystiq.com Flashgames insights, they are quoting game producer Kenichiro Takaki and game director Kotaro Yoshida [@Famitsu PSP+PS3] (via PSP Hyper)

“Half-Minute Hero wasn’t always meant to be a commercial title;”

“Half-Minute Hero was inspired by some of Yoshida’s work he had done during his spare time, specifically a Flash game that only took him a day to make.”
