NEW! Trigames.NET Podcast Episode 138 - Make Em Say Excuse Me
 
:: Posted on 2009-07-02 ::
Make em say UHHH! Mailbag goodness asks us, what's the deal with Sony, PSPGo and download-only games? And what's with this rip-off 32X wannabe Wii Motion Plus? The news asks us, what's with Zenimax buying id and that crazy movie guy saying that Midway has less claim to the Mortal Kombat franchise than he does? Sony just comes out and says that the $250 price is to establish a premium image. We're not sure what's more vapid -- that, or the dude who broke into a Gamestop through the ceiling, found out he couldn't break out of it, and left back out through the ceiling with no merchandise. Wild, wild wild.
id bought by Bethesda parent company ZeniMax

How did WB win the bid for Midway? No one else wanted them.
