Tony Davis has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of over 6,000 retired football professional players over the use of the players likenesses in Madden NFL 2009.

The plaintiffs argue that EA never compensated thousands of retired players whose likenesses were used to fill the rosters for the game’s historic teams. The suit alleges that EA “knowingly and intentionally” included the stats, positions, height and weights of retired players, but removed player names and uniform numbers to avoid paying anyone.

Normally, the player likeness and the rights attributed are owned by the NFL and one must obtain a license from the NFL for the use of such likenesses.  It will be interesting if EA never acquired those licenses.

Nintendo has revealed that it will call its next-generation gaming console simply "Wii." The system will go head to head with Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's upcoming PlayStation 3. Nintendo revealed the new identity of the much-anticipated video game console, previously code-named Revolution, on Thursday. Wii, pronounced "we," intends to break down the wall that separates video game players from everybody else.

This month saw the launch of what is apparently the first game to be developed within another game. "Tringo," a cross between "Tetris" and bingo, was created by New Zealander Nathan Keir in "Second Life," an online game where players have much freedom to create virtual objects with complex workings. The game is now being distributed by Crave Entertainment as "GBA Tringo" for the Game Boy Advance portable game player, making the jump from the virtual world to the real one.
