The trailer for computer title H.A.V.E. Online looks remarkably similar to Team Fortress 2 — so much so that it is actually pissing South Korean gamers off. Comments have been largely vicious. More »

The Export Problem: East to West Localization, Collaboration
With a quickly expanding domestic games market, and more companies thinking of making the leap to Western markets, Asian companies are facing some serious issues in the next few years: competition to become gaming 'hubs' for foreign companies, how to localize for foreign markets (something Japanese companies have historically done well, but in other areas, companies are lagging), how to keep up with a big, demanding market. ZDNet took a look at a few of the issues currently facing Asian games companies. On the issue of dealing with Western companies looking to make an entrance into the Asian market, there was this to say: More »

South Korean Navy Starting Pro Gaming Team
The South Korean Navy is following in the footsteps of the Korean Air Force and is starting their very own pro gaming team to "develop the talents of pro-gamers in the service." South Korea has compulsory military service, so this is a win-win (I guess ...) move of giving those pro gamers who also have to serve in the military something to do while providing the Navy or Air Force with 'low-cost publicity.' What will they be playing? Starcraft, of course. More »

South Korea's Huge Pro Gaming Market
Bloomberg has an article up that makes Fatal1ty's upcoming 60 Minutes appearance seem like little more than a visit from the ice cream man. How? By pointing out that South Korea's StarCraft tournaments net between 600,000 to 700,000 attendees each year. And now, the nation's second largest bank, Shinhan bank, is sponsoring the "Star League" — a weekly competition that airs for three months, much like a sports season over here. Funny enough, when South Korean baseball held their All Star game in Busan in 2004, 15,000 fans made their way into the stadium to watch the festivities. That very same day 100,000 game fans were at a different outdoor stadium watching a video game competition on seven jumbo screens. Is this how it's gonna be in America? More » -
