MMO suffers micro-credit crunchMMO Eve online has suffered it's own mini version of the credit crunch, after one of the game's biggest virtual banks suffered a run on it's reserves, after one former operator stole billions in virtual currency from the organisation's coffers.The EBank theft occurred in early June, when 200 billion in-game kredits were withdrawn by user Ricdic, who changed the currency into real-world money worth over 3,000 GBP.Details of this scam have only just emerged but this news apparently sparked mass withdrawals from the bank - Ricdic having nabbed some eight percent of the bank's deposits. "Basically this character was one of the people who had been running EBank for a while. He took a bunch of (virtual) money out of the bank, and traded it away for real money," Ned Coker of Eve Online makers CCP told the BBC.Ricdic, meanwhile, is unrepentant, despite causing a panic in the online world. "I'm not proud of it at all, that's why I didn't brag about it. But you kno

Handheld is secretly more powerfulAdding in a sliding screen design, digital-only games and a more compact form factor - the PSP Go is already a very different beast from the original PSP. Apparently, the new handheld will also sport a faster processor within.While documents filed by Sony suggest the system's innards to be more or less identical to previous models, we hear that the system's CPU will actually max at 480MHz; somewhat quicker than the 333MHz listed.The original PSP started off life at 222MHz, but this was eventually expanded to 333MHz via a firmware update. It seems likely, then, that at some point in the future Sony will unlock this new top-speed, giving developers some more clout to play with.The PSP Go will land in October costing 249 Euro / USD.Thanks GameZine.co.uk.

Blizzard consider optionsSpeaking to Videogamer, World of Warcraft game director Tom Chilton says that the Blizzard's MMO could one day become a micro-transaction based title."I certainly think it's possible that we could do some kind of micro-transaction stuff. Whether or not World of Warcraft ever goes the direction of, I guess like Anarchy online has gone the direction of going free-to-play with micro-transactions. Whether we ever shift to a free-to-play model is really too hard to say at this point," he explained."Anything I say now could easily five years from now end up seeming like, oh my gosh, that was an incredibly dumb thing to say."Your thoughts on this, WoWers?

The western release of the PSX, Sony?s souped-up version of the playstation 2 that comes with a built-in hard drive and can double as a digital video recorder, keeps getting pushed back and pushed back, and the latest news that...

Earlier this week, we discussed news that games industry veteran Dave Perry had posted a demo of his upcoming cloud gaming service Gaikai. Now that people have had time to speak with Perry and evaluate the demo, reaction has been surprisingly positive. Quoting Eurogamer: "What struck me about the presentation was that there was absolutely nothing unbelievable in it whatsoever. There were no claims of streaming 720p gameplay at 60 frames per second — games were running in differently sized windows according to how difficult they were to compress, and video itself runs at the internet standard 30FPS. There was no talk of world-beating compression systems that annihilate the work of the best minds in video encoding today, the demo was using the exact same h264 codec that we use ... And finally, there was nothing here to suggest that we were looking at a technological breakthrough that would make our PS3s and Xbox 360s obsolete... just that this was a brand new way to game cheats in a
