SimCity, the first game in the management title in over a decade released last week to a number of issues, keeping people from playing their perpetually connected, mostly single player game. The issues were less severe in European territories, and the US server issues are nearly resolved. Still fans want change – and they want change in the form of a patch that removes the need for a permanent online connection.

Gamers petition president to expunge DmC
I recently got a fair bit of flack from the internet-at-large for calling a sub-section of Devil May Cry fans entitled, whiny crybabies. While there are real concerns with the direction of its recent reboot, my issue was with those vociferous, vitriolic bunch that were unable to put the past behind them, attacking the game purely because it’s different from its predecessors. Those crybabies have now proven me right; they’ve asked US president Obama to have the game removed from store shelves, because that’s what government is for.

Petition to bring GTA V to PC
And while the world continues to turn with monotonous regularity we have yet another online petition to try and convince a games publisher to do something different to what has been announced.

Looks like Dark Souls may arrive on PC after all
Well, it looks like one particular petition for a masochistic port of a well received console game has indeed paid off for those concerned. Fans have been begging publisher Namco to bring its legendarily difficult and challenging title onto their particular platform, through a petition that was started earlier this year that may have caught their attention.
If you aren’t familiar with Dark Souls, it’s an RPG game that is so challenging, that beating most other games on their hardest difficulty sessions is required just to get past the main menu. It’s become a big hit on the PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms where it was launched last year, and now some clues have pointed towards it appearing on PC next.

Help take back Mass Effect 3.. and save children
The gamer anger targeted towards Mass Effect 3 is showing no sign of dying down and the comments are still coming in thick and fast on our original article about the petition to have the ending changed (spoilers in the comments)
But now the anger has taken an unexpected turn for the awesome, instead of just whining on the Internet about their grievances some of the people behind the petition have decided to start a donation drive to keep the attention flowing on this topic.

Mass Effect 3 players are demanding a different ending
No spoilers in the article, watch out for the comments though as we don’t have control over that
So apparently Mass Effect 3 is being loved by the critics with our own review hopefully arriving in the next day or two. But critics have gotten it wrong before and over the weekend a huge groundswell of public opinion has picked up.
The reason for this online fan hatred is apparently the ending of Mass Effect 3, which apparently simply sucks.

PC Gamers want Dark Souls. Will Namco Listen?
If there’s anything we’ve learned about internet petitions, it’s that they don’t work. Though they’re good at raising awareness amongst desktop activists, they have a habit of withering away to nothing, leaving their causes (just or otherwise) in the ether. Here’s one I hope gains a little more traction;
PC gamers have started a petition to bring From Software’s devilishly difficult Dark Souls - currently available on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 - to their platform of choice.

Germany changes it’s mind, selling violent games is still not illegal
You may remember last year that there was a story doing the rounds about a German political crackpot who was attempting to get the sale of violent video games in that country made illegal.
We care about this as we already feel the pain of certain titles being banned in Germany and if this policy had been passed it would have meant that all violent games DLC would have become banned on Xbox Live.
It’s also a stupid idea and we don’t like stupidity.

Namco Incites Japanese Xbox NerdRage
Namco’s Tales series is extremely popular amongst RPG aficionados, and Tales of Vesperia – once an Xbox 360 exclusive – is the sole reason that many Japanese gamers purchases Microsoft’s console. Namco reneged on the exclusivity, and decided the game was to go multiplatform. Not only that, but its newer, shinier PS3 port would include a myriad of fixes, tweaks and additional content.
Well, those Japanese Xbox gamers are now pissed. Infuriated enough to employ the internet’s most effective method of getting your demands, requests and points completely ignored. That’s right, there’s now an online petition that proves that no matter where in the world they are, fanboys are batsh*t insane...

Some Serious Box Art; Competition; Screens & Petition Info
Emeilio Estevez as Billy 'The Kid' in Young Guns once said "I'll make you famous", Arnie as the T800 said "I'll Be Back" and Mickey Rourke as Harley Davidson uttered one killer line in Harley Davidson And The Marlboro Man, "Its better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool". But those are movies and in Games, there's one dude above any other that has more one-liners than an 80's flick. You know who I'm talking about, Serious Sam.
He's blessed us with lines like "Serious Sam, I Am" and allowed us to live out some serious vicarious action. Well as the Twitter one-liner competition has ended, Sam has two more witty phrase for his arsenal:

Thousands Respond With A Petition To Blizzard’s No LAN For StarCraft 2
As many of you already know from yesterday's post, Blizzard has confirmed that StarCraft 2 won't be supporting a Local Area Network (LAN). So this information had been spreading across the web like wildfire and as a result in just a day, 2500 gamers have already signed a petition asking Blizzard to reconsider including a network multiplayer for StarCraft 2.
Christian Sorensen, the alleged creator of the petition was contacted by IncGamers. Apparently he stated that he wasn't the author of the petition and that in actual fact it was written by a group of individuals on the StarCraft community site, StarcraftWire.net.
