 Scraps

What a great weekend this has been. Not a whole lot on the news front, but I suspect that nobody wanted to have to fight for attention from the blogosphere while SingSterling was going on. I kept it on all day and it was one of the more entertaining webcasts I think I've ever seen.

Extra Life seemed to make out pretty well, raising over $100,000 for children's cancer research. That should make everyone involved feel pretty good.

Here's what we didn't write about this weekend because we were too busy swooning over the vocal stylings of Sterling:

  • Sony Europe believes that digital distribution on the PSP will encourage developers to produce more titles for the handheld. [GamesIndustry
  • Suda 51 says that No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle will have a better open-world design and more serious plot. [Eurogamer]
  • Left 4 Dead's lead designer explains why more games don't have split-screen and why it was so important for L4D. [MTV Multiplayer]
  • Aaron Greenburg is claiming holiday sales victory for the 360 a little early, methinks. But the price advantage will surely help. [Kotaku]

I missed sterling because internet in TJ died... seriously, like 80% of the place is with one provider and they had massive problems

Dear Developers,
Do NOT get rid of split screen co-op.
Some of us like to play games with our girlfriends.
Thank you.

Wait, why are there scraps on a sunday? There are barely any posts anyway, so why not just have someone post these?

Cannot wait for left 4dead. More games need split screen especially being able to play online with split screen. It's a much better time when you can play with a friend in person.

@Marou, agreed I think the last time I played a FPS split screen with someone was Perfect Dark, so I'm looking forward to getting some people together to try it out.
