Yesterday, Split/Second developer Black Rock Studios patched its highly volatile racer, adding a feature that’s frequently been requested by its loyal players: The ability to filter multiplayer lobbies, only allowing players to drive certain classes of cars. Having solved the “monster trucks vs. high performance Formula One racers” dilemma, the developer turned its eyes towards the future, and recently issued a survey inquiring what players would like to see introduced in future updates and DLC packs.
We’d participate in the survey, but we’re not sure Black Rock would appreciate our answers, which would pretty much boil down to “we’d like to see a space ship crash into a nuclear meltdown site which is also an aircraft carrier made of dynamite and fire.” That’s not too much to ask, is it?

Sony Online's Fan Faire is going on right now in Las Vegas, and the company just gave some morsels of info to EverQuest fans. The next title is currently being referred to as EverQuest Next, and it's going to be a reimagining of the MMO series.
Details are scarce, but it was mentioned that this entry will be developed with a focus on PvP and more engaging combat. Keep an eye on the site for any further information about this newly-announced MMO.
Activision Blizzard reported its financials for the second quarter of 2010, a period in which the company saw a higher net income but lower-than-predicted revenue. Heavy hitters such as the Call of Duty franchise and World of Warcraft continue to do well, though the company said that games such as Shrek Forever After and Singularity didn’t perform up to expectations.
CEO Bobby Kotick said that this marked the first time that Activision’s online revenue outpaced the company’s retail revenue. That’s in large part from the online sales of Call of Duty map packs, five million of which were sold in the second quarter, and the phenomenal success of World of Warcraft. The company’s net revenue was 7 million, which is down seven percent from .04 billion a year ago.
"I think we could have done better on the revenue side," said Chief Operating Officer Thomas Tippl. In addition to the strength of the dollar hurting revenue, "some of our new releases did not perform up to expectations," he said.
When people aren't posting on their Facebook walls they're probably playing World of Warcraft or Farmville (some might even like playing both), says research by The Nielsen Company.
Social networking beat out online gaming, taking up 22.7 percent of Americans time on the Internet versus 10.2 percent. Gaming, however, is up from last year by 10 percent, while email fell into third place with a 8.3 percent share.
“Despite the almost unlimited nature of what you can do on the web," says Dave Martin, a Nielsen analyst, "40 percent of U.S. online time is spent on just three activities – social networking, playing games, and emailing – leaving a whole lot of other sectors fighting for a declining share of the online pie.”
While social network use is the single most significant occupier of Americans’ online time, a June study indicates that playing games has climbed up to grab the second place spot away from email, which held the runner up position last year. Social networks alone comprised 22.7 percent of online time in June, up by nearly half from 15.8 percent during the same period last year. They, by far, are responsible for the biggest chunk of …
Gaming accounts for 10 percent of time spent online in the United States – overtaking email – according to research by Nielsen, which doesn’t sound like a lot but it is the second-leading reason, and one that’s growing. More »
