The approach of Free Realms - a casual massively-multiplayer online (MMO) game from Sony Online Entertainment, is a simple and familiar one: pack as much free content into as friendly-looking a package as possible and sell upgrades, unlocks and items for real money off the back of that initial experience. The obvious hope is that you'll become enamoured enough with the free portions of the game to pony up for advantages and privileges against other players, and Free Realms has plenty of content put aside for those who are prepared to pay.

One man's trash is another man's treasure, or so the saying goes. I come from a family of dumpster diggers and garage sale junkies (hey, you never know when you're going to find a real gem!). So, I felt right at home playing Yard Sale Hidden Treasures: Sunnyville from Slapdash Games.

NEWS - Those wanting to beta test Star Trek Online can finally do so as Cryptic has unveiled that the play dates for the game will be January 12th to January 26th. If you want a key, it's on a first come first serve basis and will be given at the website. It actually does look pretty good to me so I'm going to try and get in and see how it all is.

Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin': Uncharted 2

Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin': Uncharted 2 screenshot

_{Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin is a Dtoid-created comedy series about videogames and cupcakes.}

This week's episode may initially seem the stuff of tired conversations and unimaginative theories, but stick with it -- it gets better.

And way more violent.

I've said it before, but it's worth repeating: I really, truly didn't expect to enjoy Uncharted 2 as much as I did. I wonder if it's got something to do with the fact that I had an entire game to get to know the characters beforehand: I didn't actually realize how much I liked Elena and Sully until they showed up in Among Thieves, in much the same way I didn't realize how much Dog and Alyx mattered to me until Episode One.

But I digress -- watch the Uncharted 2 episode of HAWP, and, if you like it, please feel free to tell your friends.

Global thermonuclear war on Modern Warfare 2

by: John Yan
NEWS - It seems there are some hidden gameplay modes that some folks have found on the PC version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Now we know you can launch a nuke if you get a high enough killstreak in the game but how about a game centered around capturing and launching one? Here's video of Global thermonuclear war and how this might play out if Infinity Ward releases this to the masses. It takes a long time to capture the nuke but I'm guessing more people around it will make it capture faster.

Is Apple after a bigger piece of the App Store
pie

by: Dan Keener
NEWS - An article yesterday on Industry Gamers (via Joystiq) shows that Apple has placed a Job Posting looking for a Game/Media Software Engineer to work full time on iPhone multimedia “experiences”. On the surface, it appears that Apple could be looking for someone to continue to design and build more in-house Apps for the iPhone OS. However, when perusing the skills that skills that Apple is looking for, the list includes:
• -3-4 years of video game development experience, shipped at least one AAA title,
• -skills in audio systems, graphics pipeline, and network programming a plus are
• -passionate gamer
So it looks like Apple doesn’t just want that small 30% take on each App sold, they want 100% of the profits.
