It seems like Impulse Technology ltd. wants to sue Microsoft because of some Kinect patents.
Impulse Technology, based in Ohio, filed a case against Microsoft on July 1, 2011, because they believe that Microsoft used technology that was not theirs. The patents are specifically for technology that track a person's movement and play video games without a controller. The complaint from Impulse Technology states that Microsoft was informed of these patents before and that Microsoft has willfully ignored such statements. Basically, Impulse Technology wants to sue Microsoft for infringement of certain patents used with the Kinect.
Microsoft isn't alone in the battle though. Video game publishers that are also accused of using the Kinect's technology are stepping up to defend Microsoft. These publishers include Electronic Arts, Sega, and Konami. Supposedly the publishers are "guilty" of distributing games that infringe on some of the Impulse Technology patents.
Overall, Impulse Technology is looking to get injunction, damages, treble damages, interest, and lawyer fees out of Microsoft.

Yesterday, we saw some screenshots from GoldenEye 007 Reloaded. They were not much to go off of. Now, however, we have plenty of details regarding the soon to come shooter.
Today, Activision released some official details regarding GoldenEye 007 Reloaded. One of the most important things is the fact that this new remake will feature a brand new engine. The game will run HD graphics at 60 frames-per-second. Game modifiers will also be usable in the campaign mode of the game; these modifiers include golden guns and infinite ammo. The game will also have PlayStation Move compatibility, but no details on Kinect have been released. The game will feature a multiplayer mode with games up to 16 players. The Multiplayer will feature new maps, modes, and characters to the series.
GoldenEye 007 Reloaded is set to come to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 systems this fall.

Back in 1997, GoldenEye 007 was released on Nintendo 64. The game has been recognized as a great FPS game, but also one of the best games on Nintendo 64. In 2010, a reimagining of the original game was released on Nintendo Wii. It is obvious that the GoldenEye 007 experience has only been on Nintendo systems. That is about to change.
Screenshots have been released of a new reimagining of the classic game that many gamers know and love. This new game, known as GoldenEye 007 Reloaded, will be released on PS3 and Xbox 360, rather than the Wii. The screenshots clearly show that the game's graphics will be a major upgrade compared to the game released in '97. The game has not been officially announced by Activision or Nintendo, so it is unsaid that the game is a port of the Wii title or if it will be redone. More information should reveal itself soon because Activision has a Comic-Con event tomorrow. For now, take a look at some of the screenshots:

Yesterday, we wrote that there were early details releasedon the content within the collector's edition for Batman: Arkham City. Today, we bring you a list of all the content that will be included in the $99.99 purchase.
As recently mentioned in our first article, a statue produced by Kotobukiya will be included. The statue is the Caped Crusader himself sealed in a nice box. Buyers will also get Batman: Gotham Knight, which is an animated movie that was released in 2008 and has gotten good reviews overall. Other than that, you get a art book, soundtrack that you will download with a code, and four collectible cards.
For $99.99 this may be worth it for diehard Batman fans.
