At one of the biggest institutions of British Intelligence, GCHQ, they are taking on an interesting new recruiting technique, finding potential new employees from the Xbox Live gaming community. A government representative has explained that its criteria for hiring was "reflected in game-play experiences on Xbox, such as quick thinking, problem solving and team work". Xbox Live's most popular games amongst fragacidal maniacs include the wargame 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2', space wargame 'Halo 3', zombie-beatdown thriller 'Left 4 Dead 2', and, you can work it out yourself, 'Assassin's Creed 2'.
Adverts are expected to show up in the coming weeks, with no details on what they will look like yet.

With some app. store developers leaving the roost, Apple has released a statement clarifying their often seemed draconian rule of the store. Apple senior vice president for worldwide product marketing Phil Schiller said that Apple's review protocol is comparable to any other retailer who wants to have quality control over their products.
Schiller admitted that there were 10,000 applications being submitted to the store each week, so things were getting a little out of hand in terms of case by case app. moderation.
He also said that a large proportion of the rejected apps. were ones that were designed to steal user data.

Blizzard has made an announcement that is not going to be a big one for those that have followed the long development cycles for the company, that they announce games too early."We realize that and go, 'You know what? Next time we're not going to do that,'" VP Rob Pardo explained to Techland, as noticed by Big Download. "And then we always fail at that. But I'd rather fail at that than fail at making the game great."
Diablo 3 was announced over a year ago, with the only release date information released so far, that it wouldn't be finished next year.
Starcraft 2 will be released next year, or at least the first chapter of it, and that game was announced a long time ago now.

After the recent mass scale banning of Xbox live users by Microsoft, because they believed upwards of a million users were running a modified version of the console, which in there minds at least means there were a million people playing pirates games; a Texan firm has announced that they're putting together a class action law suit. The law firm wrote on its website, "Microsoft has chosen to use one of the most indiscriminate "weapons" in its arsenal in an effort to combat piracy -- as a result, use of this "weapon" has resulted in a great deal of collateral damage -- many people were affected who had nothing to do with piracy.
