The the trailer is only cinematic, it offers some information on the tone and look of the game: Shackvideo users can use the HD Stream. Paradox Interactive has filed a lawsuit against SouthPeak claiming they are owed upwards of a half-million dollars for games sold as part of a non-exclusive distribution deal, reports Gamasutra, saying SouthPeak's reported "insolvency" is alleged to be at the root of the missed payments. They quote the legal filings: "SouthPeak has failed to comply with its payment obligations even for game units which it previously reported to Paradox, and SouthPeak's executives have informed Paradox's executives that SouthPeak is currently financially unable to satisfy its payment obligations to Paradox under the Agreement."

They are seeking an injunction against the return of any goods, claiming they would be "irreparably harmed" by such a move. SouthPeak was also sued late last year by TimeGate Studios over missed royalty payments.

Comments (0) Posted by *Shacknews* Games on Mar. 19, 2010 Red Dead Redemption's pre-order bonus in-game items are the focus of a trio of trailers for Rockstar San Diego's open-world western, including swish golden guns.
The in-game items are each exclusive to a specific retailer and some others offer physical goodies instead of these virtual treasures, as Rockstar previously detailed. Published by 2K Games, Red Dead Redemption is headed to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on May 18 in North American then May 21 internationally, delayed from April. Here's them there fancy golden guns Amazon's a-offering along with a $10 gift card. Shackvideo users can use the HD Stream.

Peter Molyneux and Gaming From (and for) the Heart is a video interview with the Lionhead designer who does a walk-and-talk through the wasteland while discussing the state of gaming to a seemingly disconnected young lady (thanks Ant via Digg). He talks about the feeling of being "imprisoned by this box" that developing for the console gave him, and how new technology like Natal is changing that. He also discusses the rich future he sees for social gaming, before moving along to the Fable series and the upcoming Fable 3, which he says is all about making the player feel powerful. He also waxes about the "big emotional button" they will push with adding the element of "touch" to gameplay.
