Dead Island gets Mature Rating by the ESRB

The first person Zombie game Dead Island was rated by the ESRB, who decided to give the game the Mature rating, which doesn't surprises me since the game has a lot of blood and gore, but what did surprise me was that in the game are Drug references, but specially under age sex, which I have never seen before on a game.
Here is what the ESRB said about Dead Island:

"This is a first-person shooter in which players join a group of survivors who must battle a zombie infestation on a tropical island," the ESRB website declared.
"Players use baseball bats, knives, axes, shotguns, and rifles to kill waves of zombies. Battles are accompanied by screams of pain, realistic gunfire, and slow-motion effects. When zombies are knocked to the ground, players can sometimes stomp on their heads to complete kills."

"Large blood splatter stains the surrounding environment and players' weapon. Players can also dismember zombies, and various scenes depict bloody torsos, legs, or other mutilated body parts."

"As the game progresses, alcoholic beverages can be consumed to increase damage output, resulting in screen-blurring effects; in one cut-scene, drunken characters are depicted stumbling around a party. Some sequences also reference drug use; one mission requires players to retrieve drugs for a character (e.g., 'I haven't shot up since the day before yesterday and I'm getting the chills.').

"The game also contains a handful of sexual references in the dialogue (e.g., 'One rich bugger I investigated was clearly molesting his fourteen-year-old daughter.'); one scene depicts a bikini-clad woman tied to a bed and surrounded by video cameras. The words 'f**k' and 'sh*t' can be heard in dialogue."

The game hasn't been released yet but it surely looks like this year's God Of War thanks to it's gore, blood and body parts lying around, surely one if this year's best sellers and best games.

EA Buys PopCap For Almost A Billion Dollars

The giant publisher and game developer EA has acquired the famous PopCap studio, creators of Plants vs. Zombies, Zuma, Bejeweled and more, for almost a billion dollars.
EA probably bought the company thanks to it's great and well known games that have being installed in more than 150 million devices around the world, in many different devices such as iPhone, Android, PC and Xbox. Probably EA also bought PopCap to reach a bigger public and bring it to their online store Origin, so I hope they don't take PopCap's games out of Steam, Origin's competition, as they did with Crysis 2.

PopCap is happy about the purchase made by EA and they had made this note, made by their zombies.
