EA licenses letters "E" and "A" for exclusive use in EA games
Electronic Arts is pleased to annouce it has gained exclusive rights to use the letters "E" and "A" in all its future gaming products.

Starting from January 31 2005, only E A-branded games will be able to use the letters E and A in their names and in-game text -- a hammer blow for all developers that make games with words in.

"We're really pleased that EA has cemented this deal" said E A spokesman Eamonn Eveshare. He continues "we are now placed well to lead the battle on next generation consoles and further establish EA as the world's leading entertainment brand".

Worst hit by this bombshell is Eeyore Entertainment, with the release of its Q1 text adventure game Beevil the Evil Weevil's Extreme Sea Search thrown into immediate doubt. Their spokesperson Annabel Eaves was unavailable for comment at time of going to press.

This one also made me laugh...

Nintendo gets in on 'Photoshop comedy' scene
Well done to a Mr S. Miyamoto, whose hilarious submission entitled "Mario characters in NBA Street V3" is the funniest piece of Photoshop comedy we've seen in ages!

What's that, Shigeru? It's real? This is an ACTUAL PROPER GAME that's really coming out and NOT a joke at all? You've REALLY sold Mario's arse to EA for a few magic beans? Wow, that's a new record depth you've just plummed.

Because I had no clue Nintendo did license Luigi out to EA. Well, not that's it's suprising.

Also check the filename, nintendojumpsshark.jpg.

it's the shame that UKR's brand of british humor never seems to make it into games and instead we get... rare's.

I don't think the world is ready for a game in which you have to weep bitter tears of self loathing while masturbating.

UKR is the only thing on the internet about videogames that is funny. But I guess you have to share their sensibilities.

THE SHIT LIST
Watching our poor old PlayStation2 clunk and whirr its way through the way-too-demanding GTA San Andreas was an embarrassment -- as was the game's pathetic "gangsta" style.

PEOPLE IN WEB FORUM DECLARE LATEST UPDATE 'NOT FUNNY'
Shockwaves reverberated around the UKR HQ today, as a bunch of losers whose only contribution to society is to say things suck in web forums announced that UKR's previous update "sucked" in a web forum.

"Not funny" was the response from regular poster "Deg", whose only contribution to society is to say how things suck in a variety of web forums.

Coincidentally, the witty insult "Not funny" was also used in a follow-up message posted by "Society", the latest in a long line of profound, well thought out responses from the internet-using gamer whose only contribution to society is also based around saying how things suck in a variety of web forums without offering any reason, constructive criticism or valid links to his own worthwhile creative output.

A UKR spokesman countered the incredibly deep accusations by penning an update in which the people whose only contribution to society is to say how things suck in a variety of web forums were firmly mocked, an update featuring a final line highlighting the irony that the update itself is likely to be deemed "not funny" by the very same people whose only contribution to society is to say how things suck in a variety of web forums it set out to ridicule.

UK:R hits the nail on the head about GAF. Unfortunately for UK:R, it was a slow month for GAF hating, since PSP had been released, Peter Mouylenuex was on holidays and there were no Western Xbox games to criticse about their art.
