HBO looking to turn Indie Game: The Movie into a TV show screenshot

"Wait, what?" That was the immediate reaction many of us had upon hearing HBO had acquired the rights to create a fictional, half-hour television series based off Indie Game: The Movie.

Things worsened when Deadline described it as a comedy series, but the duo behind the documentary, Lisanne Pajot and James Swirsky, followed up by saying such a label was not accurate. Thankfully, this project -- which will be produced by Scott Rudin (The Social Network, Moneyball) -- isn't a sitcom.

"The people involved, the network involved -- all are, BY FAR, the best people possible to make this show," wrote Lisanne and James. "We are ecstatic about the possibilities of working with this team. All you need to do is look at the list of HBO series titles & Scott Rudin's IMDB and you can see why we think this is a brilliant thing. We want to see this show happen. We want to watch this show."

NEWS - NIS America has released some new screenshots for Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention for the PSVita. I never got too into those types of RPGs (not sure the best way to describe it, but if you've played Final Fantasy Tactics, I was never too good with the game's battle system), so I'm not sure if I'll be getting this myself, but the game's looking good so far.

New Sniper Elite V2 videos are looking good

New Sniper Elite V2 videos are looking good screenshot

Back in 2005, a little game called Sniper Elite was released on the original Xbox, PS2 and PC. With a name as silly as that, many weren't expecting much from the third-person shooter which placed an emphasis on stealth. As many who decided to played Sniper Elite will tell you, however, the game was a blast and they've been looking forward to a sequel ever since; Sniper Elite V2 is that sequel.

505 Games has put out a new developer diary going into the game's stealth aspect, as well as showing off some incredible slow-motion bullet cam kills that can get incredibly gory. 505 has also released a new trailer for the game; funnily enough it ends with another look at just how graphic the bullet cam can get.

As someone who never played the original game, the fact that these new gameplay and developer diary videos have me not only interested but wanting to see more is a very promising sign.

RUMOR: Microsoft phasing out the point system,
going with straight cash denominations

by: John Yan
NEWS - One of the things I never enjoyed about the Xbox 360's online purchasing option is the use of the point system. Having to buy cards and such and spend it on items to utilize all your points was sometimes just a hassle. Yes, you could just save the points for later use, but what if I just want to buy something small? I don't want to have to pick up a larger point card to do it.

Rumor has it that Microsoft will look to phase out the point system and if so, I say it's about damn time. Through Google and Apple, you can just purchase items based on their cash value and not have to load up on points. This will make it in line with the them and I think Windows Phone lets you purchase items without points as well.

I'll be very happy once I'm able to buy a song or such for Rock Band without having to pick up a points card. Let's hope this comes true and it comes sooner rather than later.
