A conservative Christian Investment firm, The Timothy Plan, puts out a warning for parents on getting some games for their kids for the holidays. For that, they put out a list of the 30 "most offensive" video games out there today. The list includes your usual suspects, but The Timothy Plan flags games that ring the gay-dar, even those little negligible things like
Niko Bellic turning down gay ads in online dating.

Blizzard's
J. Allen Brack and
Tom Chilton are reiterating that
World of Warcraft will not be heading for consoles. As if echoing
Hideo Kojima's words yesterday
about a 360 port of MGS4 being impossible, Brack and Chilton say that
WoW was just basically not intended for the PS3 nor 360 to begin with. In Chilton's words, "it's a square peg round hole thing."
