JOHN CARPENTER BELIEVES HIS FUTURE IS IN PLAYING VIDEO GAMES Los Angeles, CA – There was a time when John Carpenter was the most recognizable horror movie directors on the planet. In fact, he was one of the most recognizable directors in any genre, for a time. Hits like ‘Halloween’ and ‘Escape From New York’ penetrated the public’s consciousness, and impact felt even today as evidenced by the recent remake of his cult classic ‘The Thing’. HIDEO KOJIMA READY TO DIE TO PROTECT THE METAL GEAR SERIES Tokyo, Japan – There have been few series of video games that have attracted as much controversy from fans as the Metal Gear titles. Sure, some games have attracted criticism from the media and parents, but no series has sharply divided gamers as the Metal Gear titles.

SONY MAY KILL OFF PS VITA IN LIGHT OF SLUMPING SALES Tokyo, Japan - Back in 2004 the gaming world was a different altogether from what it is today. Games were popular, raking in billions of dollars a year, but they still had not gone mainstream. Yes, people would lay computer solitaire or minesweeper but that, for the most part, was it. Now just about everyone plays games, whether robust complex titles on expensive hardware or cheap and even free simple titles on their phone or Facebook account. More people than ever are playing games, yet games are starting to suffer. NINTENDO EXECUTIVES CONSIDERING RITUAL SUICIDE AFTER POSTING FIRST LOSS IN THIRTY YEARS Kyoto, Japan – Pretty much everyone who follows video games knows the story of how Nintendo redefined the industry back in the 1980’s. They know the tale of how they rescued a flailing industry from near ruin and made it viable almost by themselves and how they continued to innovate and revolutionize throughout their life, even up to the modern day almost thirty years later. It’s a great story and one worth telling, especially now that it appears all that may be coming to an end.
