Digital Reality/Candygun Games: “Dead Block” [XBLA/PSN] – ‘Elimination Methods’ Trailer

From/De: Digital Reality

Prepare to Defend Against the Zombie Horde in Dead Block for Xbox LIVE Arcade and PSN this July!

SHOCKING! HORRIFIC! AWESOME!!! Zombie Defense co-op experience coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade July 6 and to PlayStation Network on July 20!

Budapest, Hungary –June 29, 2011– Digital Reality and developer Candygun Games have announced that their upcoming zombie defense game, Dead Block, will shamble onto Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system for Microsoft on July 6th, and onto PlayStation®Network on July 20th! Dead Block is an engaging, campy and humor-filled title that mixes zombie killing with tactical defense strategies, letting players defend their territory by discovering new weapons to strategically rock ‘n trap the invading zombie horde!

Download the new ‘Zombie Elimination’ trailer here, overviewing many of the different types of Zombie traps players can set.

Set in the U.S. during the idyllic 1950s, Dead Block takes players to a simpler time when a gallon of gas cost a few pennies, the “golden age” of cinema was in full swing, and that new (and apparently insanely evil) craze called rock ‘n roll swept the nation—and caused an apocalyptic musical plague to turn the deceased into the walking dead!

As one of three survivors of the shuffling zombie onslaught – Boy Scout Mike Bacon, construction worker Jack Foster, and no-nonsense meter maid Foxy Jones, each with their own unique “Smart Bomb” attack – players will fortify their area by boarding up windows and setting a variety of unique unlockable traps, collect items and power-ups, take on zombies one-on-many with a variety of upgradeable weapons, and even rock them to shreds with awesome guitar power!

“We’re a huge fan of zombies, but we’re even bigger fans of finding the most creative ways of disposing of the undead buggers,” said Balazs Horvath, Director of Publishing of Digital Reality. “Dead Block has been a dream project of ours, and we’re elated to finally unleash it upon the world.”

Team up with three of your buddies and drop-in/drop-out of play for the most addictive co-op zombie thrashing experience in Dead Block, launching for 800 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE Arcade on July 6, 2011, and $9.99 on PlayStation Network July 20, 2011. For more information, please visit the Dead Block website at www.deadblock.com, follow the characters on Twitter, subscribe to our YouTube channel and ‘Like’ the game on Facebook.

US Supreme Court rules in favor of gaming industry | Corte Suprema de EE.UU. falla a favor de la industria de los videojuegos

[English]

The US Supreme Court has made its decision about the case involving the State of California and the gaming industry represented by the EMA. The enforcement of a law written by California State Senator Leland Yee would have not just criminalized the sale of certain M-rated videogames in California, but also turn gaming into a form of entertainment or media not protected by the first amendment of the US Constitution.

Since the arrival of games such as Mortal Kombat and Postal 2, some people have been afraid of the violent content in electronic entertainment, especially for teens. As the gaming industry grew and the content of games was diversified, the ESRB was created as a way to inform parents and all gamers about the content of every game sold.

Still, the state of California insisted that the efforts by the ESRB just weren’t enough, that it fails to protect minors, which should lead to stricter measures to be put in place. The purpose of the California gaming law was to treat violent videogames the same way as extreme sexual material.

In the past, all laws or bills against videogames have been overturned because of the First Amendment which gives people the right of freedom of speech.

It’s a parent’s decision whether to buy an M-rated game for his/her teens. All games come with more specific information than the ratings offered by Hollywood and the film and music industries, thanks to the ESRB.

At Court
The Supreme Court, in a 7-2 ruling, voted in favor of the EMA and the videogame industry by stating “the Federal District Court concluded that the Act violated the First Amendment and permanently enjoined its enforcement.” The Supreme Court said in its syllabus “because the Act imposes a restriction on the content of protected speech, it is invalid,” therefore eliminating the Act signed by former governor and Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The information provided by the State of California was not enough to persuade most of the Supreme Court judges.

La Corte Suprema de los EE.UU. ha tomado una decisión sobre el caso relacionado con el estado de California y la industria de los videojuegos representado por la EMA. La ejecución de una ley escrita por el senador del estado de California, Leland Yee, hubiera no sólo tipificado como delito la venta de ciertos videojuegos clasificados M en California, sino también a su vez habría convertido a los videojuegos en una forma de entretenimiento no protegida por la Primera Enmienda de la Constitución de los EE.UU..

Desde la llegada de juegos como Mortal Kombat y Postal 2, algunas personas han tenido miedo de los contenidos violentos en el entretenimiento electrónico , especialmente cuando se trata para los adolescentes. A medida que la industria del juego creció y el contenido de los juegos fue diversificándose, la ESRB se creó para informar a los padres y a los jugadores del contenido de cada juego vendido.

Sin embargo, el estado de California insistió en que los esfuerzos por la ESRB ya no eran suficientes, que no protege a los menores de edad, y deberían conducirse medidas más estrictas para poner en marcha. El propósito de la ley de juegos de California fue para clasificar a los videojuegos violentos de la misma manera que material sexual extremo.

En el pasado, todas las leyes o proyectos de ley contra los videojuegos fueron anuladas por la Primera Enmienda, que da a la gente el derecho a la libertad de expresión. Es la decisión de los padres de eligir de comprar un juego clasificado M para sus adolescentes. Todos los juegos vienen con información más específica que las calificaciones ofrecidas por Hollywood y la industria del cine y la música, gracias a la ESRB.

En la Corte
La Corte Suprema de Justicia, en una decisión 7-2, votó a favor de la EMA y la industria de los videojuegos al afirmar que “el Tribunal de Distrito Federal llegó a la conclusión de que la ley violaba la Primera Enmienda”. La Corte Suprema dijo en su programa “, porque la ley impone una restricción sobre el contenido de expresión protegida, no es válido”, por lo tanto, eliminando la ley firmada por el ex gobernador y estrella de Hollywood Arnold Schwarzenegger.

La información proporcionada por el Estado de California no fue suficiente para persuadir a la mayoría de los jueces de la Corte Suprema de Justicia.
