The Best Game Intro

I think the intro to the original Left 4 Dead has to rate as one of the best game intros I’ve ever seen. Great stuff.

Unfortunately when I play the game I can’t hear any sound. Bah.

Update! Someone mentioned on Twitter that Dead Island had a better intro. Strictly speaking, it’s a trailer but boy does it pull at your heart strings. F*cked up. Check it below but don’t click play if there are kids around. After you’ve watched the trailer, check out this IGN edit that plays the trailer in reverse.

Sony bans PS3 jailbreak users

If you’ve jailbroken your PS3 then you probably shouldn’t go online until you reverse the jailbreak. Sony has started banning users who use jailbroken PS3 consoles online! The ban is permanent and worldwide.

you cannot use the PlayStation Network with this account (8002a227).

In the old days it was only Microsoft who were banning their users en-masse but now Sony have to do it as well. I wonder if Nintendo will ever do the same thing?

Petition to allow game button remapping

Colin reposted a video by Chuck Bittner, a disabled gamer who is collecting signatures in support of his petition to get game companies to allow remapping of controller buttons.

Here’s the petition and a FAQ about it.

Even if you don’t care about other gamers, then sign it for selfish reasons. If this became a standard (and hell, back in the 80’s you could remap the keys used in almost every game. It’s not rocket science!) then you’ll be able to customize every game you play just the way you like.

I just signed the petition and so have over 40,000 others. If you play games please sign it too.
