Battle Duty: Modern Field 3 Trolls Everyone While Bordering Copyright Infringement

At first, I thought this was a joke, but according to Joystiq, it is not. A company named Imba Entertainment made a satirical shooter that is basically trolling both Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3. Battle Duty: Modern Field 3 is an actual game available right now on the App Store for your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad (if its iOS 3.2 or higher).

Since it claims that it's a satirical game, it can get away using real content from both games. The content includes

In South Korea, Blizzard games are huge. And when I mean huge, I mean it's their national sport. In other countries, soccer or baseball is broadcast over the airwaves. In South Korea, it's Starcraft.

Despite Lack of Sales in the Region, They're Opening a XBox 360 Store in Japan

As you have read in my previous blogs, Microsoft's XBox 360 isn't doing that well in Japan. Microsoft's lack of success is huge as it only sells from two to three thousand consoles a week in Japan. And with news of pulling most materials for the console from Japanese stores, it hasn't stopped one shop in Yamaguchi Prefecture from making a store dedicated to the XBox 360 (according

And it has met tons of favorable praise from the hordes of Sony faithful as well as local Japanese media outlets. However, when it comes to making comparisons with its competitor, Nintendo and its 3DS, that's a bit of a different story.
