PAX East 2010: Hands-on with APB

All Points Bulletin, or APB, from Realtime Worlds is one of those games that you have heard about for years, seen previews of from other conventions and always thought to yourself, “Well, that’s character creation. What about the gameplay?” If you are anything like me, you had doubts that the game could actually have gameplay that equaled the seemingly endless customization options. Doubt no longer.

Free MMO CrimeCraft denied classification in Australia

Australia’s Office of Film Literature Classification (OFLC) unit is making headlines again, denying another game from being released in that nation in its current form.

The Refused Classification (RC) ruling on Vogster Entertainment’s MMO Crimecraft came down November 26, 2009, placing it in the same banned-this-year category as Necrovision, Sexy Poker, Risen and, most notably, Left 4 Dead 2.

Left 4 Dead 2 was subsequently released in an extremely edited version that took much of the violence out of the game. Critical and fan reception for the neutered version has not been kind. Crimecraft received a “Mature” rating from US-based Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB).
