Cute ain't pretty - Little King's Story video game on Nintendo Wii

The most common complaint you will hear about Little King's Story has nothing to do with the game itself. The game's biggest problem, and the reason it will be overlooked by most gamers, is that it looks like a cutesy kids' game.

Its marketing would seem to confirm this impression: a colorful 2-page spread in Nintendo Power (but nothing in, say, Edge Magazine); a flash-based children's book-style website (with background audio of cheering kids); and the game's cartoonish box art - all apparently go out of their way to discourage so-called serious gamers from taking the LKS plunge.



If you have two normal people standing there, and one of them says 'I KILL YOU!' and stabs the other one, that's just sad. But if you have two little anime-cartoon cute guys, and one of them says [high-pitched voice] 'I KILL YOU!' and stabs the other one, it's serious, but it's really funny. It's the opposite of real people in games doing corny, goofy things... we have little goofy guys doing very serious things.[1]

Microsoft investigating Xbox LIVE accounts that show activity related to Halo 3 ODST prior to its official release date

Microsoft is set to take action against those who play Halo 3: ODST prior to its official release date.

"We're investigating a very small breach in our distribution process around the early delivery of 'Halo 3: ODST' units," said a Microsoft spokesperson, speaking to Kotaku about some French gamers who already have a copy of the game in their hands. Reportedly, at least one store in France has begun selling the highly-anticipated game already.

"We are also investigating Xbox LIVE accounts that show activity related to 'Halo 3: ODST' and will take action against those we believe have procured copies of the game illegitimately. We have nothing further to share at this time."

The spokesperson declined to comment on the exact actions that will be taken, or on whether or not Microsoft considers a copy of the game bought in stores to be an illegitimate means of acquiring the game, which isn't due out until 22 September.

The company also declined to comment on a statement that - according to halo.bungie.org - was made yesterday by Microsoft France, stating that players will be banned from LIVE for playing ODST early.

Looks like you might have to wait, then, if you want to keep your LIVE access intact. On the plus side, we've got a lovely big preview of the game for you, as well as interview.

UPDATE: Xbox LIVE's head of policy and enforcement Stephen Toulouse has stated via Twitter that "[Microsoft] will not be banning legitimate customers from Xbox LIVE who play early," adding in a later Tweet "However, if you have Halo ODST achievements and haven't played the game, prepare for a gamerscore reset."



Those lucky enough to legally procure a copy of the game seem to be safe, then.
