So, if you're like me, when I take a break from PC and console gaming, I like watching some of my favorite shows on basic cable.

ESRB Outs a Small Controversial Detail about Battlefield 3, EA Responds Immediately to Defend Itself
Likely, all fans of Evil Controllers have played Modern Warfare 2 and remember it's controversial "No Russian" mission where you had to pose as one of Makarov's newly recruited goons to take out an entire Russian airport. That mission got a lot of attention and those who were sensitive to the mission had the option to skip it or not fire their gun at all. No one in the FPS world would ever thought of overdoing

Controversy Over Similar Looking Logos Is Now Taken to Court
Electronic Arts, the video games publisher, is taking the fitness supplies company Energy Armor to court. The reason why? It's due to how Energy Armor's logo looks very similar to Electronic Arts' logo and also because their company advertises its products by using athletes (like Electronic Art's does with Madden and FIFA).
While I do believe the secondary reason for the court action lawsuit is absolutely ridiculous and should be thrown out (because if that was held true, Electronic Arts could
