Here’s a roundup of today’s news found elsewhere on the internet:

Dead Rising: Case Zero proves popular (eurogamer) - Dead Rising: Case Zero, the downloadable prologue for the forthcoming second instalment in the series, has proved to be a big hit.

That's according to Gamerbytes, which reports the DLC was downloaded nearly 330,000 times in less than seven days.

Treyarch: Balancing Black Ops was a challenge (vg247) - Treyarch has said balancing Black Ops has been a bit of a challenge for it, compared to the studio’s other Call of Duty titles.

Speaking with CVG, community manager Josh Olin said balancing difficulties arose after Tryarch implemented COD Points and more powerful weapons.

DICE showing Bad Company 2: Vietnam at TGS next week (vg247) - DICE has announced it’ll be showing Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam in full for first time in Tokyo next week.

Zynga employees speak out on 'doing evil' (Joystiq) - "Zynga's motto is 'Do Evil,'" a former employee of the company told SF Weekly. "I would venture to say it is one of the most evil places I've run into, from a culture perspective and in its business approach. I've tried my best to make sure that friends don't let friends work at Zynga."

The driving force behind this bitterness and resentment of Zygna is the company's derivative culture. "You're not smarter than your competitor. Just copy what they do and do it until you get their numbers," one employee recalls Zynga's founder, Mark Pincus, telling the team.

More news for ya, BF1943 for PC was apparently released today. Rather underwhelming considering no announcement was made.

$15 on EA store, but it appears to not avaliable if you're in NZ.

This should take you to the game's page: http://eastore.ea.com/DRHM/store?Ac...uctID=128558100

330000 downloads for case zero, is that full purchase only or does that include people who just downloaded it to try the demo? I know I wasnt much of a fan of it and I love zombie games :(
