Chicago
Transit Authority Bans Video Game Advertising!
Earlier this year, the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) banned advertisements for video games rated M or AO on its trains, buses, and stations.
The Entertainment Software
Association (ESA) filed suit against the CTA, challenging the CTA's prohibition on certain computer and video game advertisements
as a violation of the guarantees of free speech under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
The
complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, charges the CTA with unfairly targeting
the computer and video game industry by enacting an ordinance that selectively bans advertisements of computer and video games
rated "Mature 17+" (M) or "Adults Only 18+" (AO).
Unfortunately, this isn't the first or last
attack on computer and video games. ESA is doing its part, now it's time to do yours. Spread the word about the VGVN to five friends today to help defend computer and video games from unconstitutional legislative assaults.

Undead
Invade PlayStation®Home!
PlayStation
Home Gets its First Graveyard as
Burn
Zombie Burn! PlayStation Home Space Opens
GUILDFORD, ENGLAND, July 30, 2009 - Kuju Entertainment and developer doublesix today announced the opening of the first
graveyard in PlayStation®Home, in the brand-new Burn Zombie Burn! PlayStation®
Home Space.
The creepy new Burn Zombie Burn! PlayStation®Home
Space incorporates the fun, cartoony art style and quirky sense of humor that make Burn Zombie
Burn! a rollicking zombie-killing adventure. Players wandering the Burn Zombie Burn!
graveyard, filled with statues, crypts and a maze, will find surprises around every corner.
The Burn Zombie Burn! PlayStation®Home Space includes three crypts, and those brave enough
to explore them will find the first two filled with Burn Zombie Burn! goodies and extras,
including a challenging hedge maze mini-game for up to six players. The third crypt, on the other hand, remains a mystery,
though music and flashing lights offer some clue as to what lies behind the stone door. Curious zombie-slayers will need to
master the timed mini-game if they want to discover the third crypt's secrets.

About Burn Zombie Burn!
Set across six classic American-horror-movie inspired
levels, Burn Zombie Burn! is a top-down, arena-based shoot-em-up in the classic coin-op
tradition featuring next-gen game-play mechanics and possessing that 'one-more-go' addictiveness which defines all of the
great shooters.
The aim of the game couldn't be simpler; shoot, burn and blow-up as many brain-munching zombies
as possible. Use fire to build up your multiplier and then destroy zombies en masse with explosives to increase that oh-so-important
leaderboard high score. But beware! A burning zombie is a faster zombie - burn too many and they will overwhelm you.
Burn Zombie Burn! is frantic, arcade gaming at its best - delivering
dark humor and bloody zombie violence in copious amounts!
