Yay! Brutal Legend is actually coming out. For a second there we were scared a game company could stop another game company from releasing a product because of competition. How silly is that? Well, time to get back to drafting our law suit against 1UP, Kotaku, Joystiq, etc.

News Blips:


• Phoenix Wright would be proud: Silly Brutal Legend lawsuit over. The ridiculous lawsuit Activision Blizzard was filing over Brutal Legend to stop it from getting released has now been settled. We guess Activision Blizzard finally realized Brutal Legend is not a Guitar Hero game. Hard to believe, we know. [IndustryGamers]

• Konami revenue drops 50 percent without help of convoluted cut scenes. Poor Konami — without Metal Gear Solid, the company can hardly make money. Thankfully, we’ll be getting a ton more soon. And our brains just can’t wait to decipher those. La Li Lu Le Lo… [Edge]

• Wii Sports Resort sells a lot in case you were wondering. 500,000 copies in eight day to be exact. Bet you didn’t see that coming! [1UP]

• Get your wacky Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition before it’s too late. In case you want to stalk your friends in the dark (or what we like to call “night bird watching”) you better act fast as the pricey $150 Prestige Edition is actually really limited. So go waste your money. Make America proud, soldier! [IGN]
