NEW YORK, NY, March 8, 2011 – Landing a starring role in Hollywood’s biggest hits just became a reality as Yoostar Entertainment Group (www.yoostar.com) today announced that Yoostar 2 is now available at retail outlets throughout North America, with rest of world availability following later this week. Removing the barrier between popular online social networking sites and console gaming, they also announced the unveiling of Yoostar Playground™, the company’s new Facebook game that works seamlessly with Yoostar®2 for the Kinect™ for Xbox 360® and PlayStation® 3 computer entertainment system. Yoostar Playground takes the console experience online and expands the functionality of Yoostar 2 by adding new game features including the ability to earn Badges and create Movie Mashups that then award players “Yoobucks”, which can be redeemed through the video game.

Yoostar Playground is a free, social game that anyone can play, letting Facebook fans rate, share and comment on videos of player performances. It also lets the entire community create Movie Mashups that can then be uploaded and rated. All activities earn players Fame points, taking their in-game persona from a struggling actor/actress, to an A-list celebrity, and reward them with Badges for increased ranking and “Yoobucks” which can be used for power-ups or boosts in both Yoostar Playground and the Yoostar 2 video game.

“Yoostar 2 and Yoostar Playground can be enjoyed as two separate games with each designed to take advantage of its own unique platform. But the true break-through and total enjoyment comes when playing both games as one, it brings the party experience of the console game to your social network,” said Stephanie Morgan, Vice President of Social Gaming for Yoostar Entertainment Group. “It’s really the first time the consoles have stepped beyond their own communities and connected directly to the open world of social gaming on Facebook. We are extremely excited by this milestone and believe the potential for new console products with greater social integration is enormous.”

A new breed of social gaming for consoles and an ideal party game, Yoostar 2, brings the magic and fun of Hollywood to living rooms everywhere. Using the magic of Kinect for Xbox 360 or the PlayStation®Eye, players insert themselves into famous movie and TV scenes, starring alongside or in place of their favorite actors. Perform the lines as written in English, Spanish, French, Italian or German, or “flip the script” and deliver a personalized improvisation. Yoostar 2 then scores your performance and lets players share their scene to Facebook, Twitter, Yoostar 2’s in-game social portal on Xbox LIVE® online entertainment network and PlayStation Network, or Yoostar.com.

Fans can also experience the game from a whole new perspective on Facebook’s Yoostar Playground, a completely new kind of social game where players can earn Badges and “Yoobucks” by participating in the community and completing challenges. View, rate, comment and award other videos and share your own. Create Movie Mashups by combining multiple scenes together to create mini movies, and enter contests to win cash and prizes by creating and uploading new scenes. Then watch as your Fame points rise on both the video game and Facebook as you rise from a struggling actor to an A-list celebrity.

Yoostar 2 is currently available at all leading retail outlets throughout North America for an MSRP of $49.99. Yoostar Playground is going live on Facebook tomorrow, March 9, and can be played for free at http://apps.facebook.com/yoostarplayground/.

AVG (AU/NZ) highlights the top 10 signs that your computer is infected with viruses, malware or Trojans

Melbourne and Amsterdam, 8 March 2011 — Users are often advised to use an anti-virus or Internet security product to check if their systems are infected with malware. But, with the current cyber-crime scenario, this is simply not always enough.

Lloyd Borrett, Security Evangelist at AVG (AU/NZ), says, “Each and every one of us needs to be on the lookout for the more general signs that our computer may be infected. Of course, this is easier said than done.

“Many of today’s threats are designed specifically to go undetected. Thankfully, there are some tell-tale signs that a system has been compromised. So even if you have little or no idea about security issues, there are things all of us can watch for.”

AVG (AU/NZ) has produced the following simple guide to the ten most common symptoms of infection. You can use it to determine if your computers are already infected:

1. My computer is running unusually slowly. This could be a symptom of many things, including infection by malware. If your PC has been infected by a virus, worm, Trojan or some other form of malware which is now running on the computer, it could be running tasks that consume a lot of resources, making your system run more slowly than usual.

2. My computer keeps popping up messages. Your computer has all types of pop-ups and messages on the desktop, either advertising things or saying that the PC is infected and that you need to pay for protection. This is a typical sign of a malware infection. There is either spyware or adware on the computer, or it has been infected by a fake anti-virus program (also called “rogueware”). The bad guys use this technique so once you’re infected with malware, they can deceive you into giving them your financial details. Typically they’ll also give you a false anti-virus program which is just more malware.

3. When I connect to the Internet, all types of windows open or my browser displays web pages I have not requested. This is another certain sign of malware infection. Many threats are designed to redirect traffic to certain web sites against the user’s will, and can even cause your browser to display spoof web pages. Normally this happens whilst looking for something in a search engine or when you type a URL into an address bar. You think you are on a legitimate web site when really you have been taken to a malicious imitation. The free AVG LinkScanner on your Windows or Mac computer will help to protect you from these nasty web pages.

4. I cannot connect to the Internet or it runs very slowly. Loss of Internet communication is another common symptom of malware infection. But please keep in mind that this problem could also be due to a problem with your Internet service provider (ISP) or modem router. You might also have a connection that runs much more slowly than usual. If you have been infected, the malware could be connecting to a URL or opening separate connection sessions, thereby reducing your available bandwidth or making it practically impossible to use the Internet.

5. My anti-virus has disappeared, my firewall is disabled. Another typical characteristic of many malware threats is that they disable the security software already installed on computers. If just one security protection layer shuts down it might just be a specific software failure. However, if all of your security components are disabled, your computer is almost certainly infected.

6. Applications won’t start or the computer keeps crashing. How many times have you tried to run an application from the start menu or desktop and nothing happens? Sometimes another program might even run. This could be another type of problem caused by an update or poor installation process, but at the very least it’s a symptom which tells you that something is wrong. Also, if your computer unexpectedly or erratically crashes persistently then it may be due to malware. This will normally happen when you try to open up a security program, or try to find a solution to fix the malware problem.

7. My computer has new programs. If there are programs on your desktop that you have never seen before, that have been downloaded and installed without your consent or knowledge, then it’s more than likely down to malware taking over your computer. Usually these programs have explicit or illegal content and it’s near impossible to delete them as you would with a normal program.

8. Where have my files gone? Hopefully you will be never asking this type of question. However, there are still some malware threats around designed to delete or encrypt information. Others move documents from one place to another. Some remove the library files for running games, security software and other programs. If you find yourself in this situation, it’s highly likely your computer is infected.

9. My computer is speaking a strange language. If the language of certain applications changes or the screen appears back-to-front… you might just have an infected computer system.

10. My computer has gone crazy. It’s likely your system could be compromised by malware if the computer starts acting on its own or you suddenly find your system has been sending emails without your knowledge. Other signs include Internet sessions or applications opening sporadically on their own.

What Can You Do?

Stay forever vigilant and on the lookout for the above signs of malware infection. Make sure you have good anti-virus or Internet security software installed. Keep it up-to-date and run a scheduled scan of your computer at least once per week.

Borrett says, “If you detect any of the above signs of malware on your computer and you’re not already protected, then you’ll need to download an anti-virus or Internet security program to eradicate the infection and also prevent any future infection. Some security programs are better at protecting you from infections than removing existing infections. AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 2011, or AVG Internet Security 2011 would be good programs to start with as they are excellent in both situations.

If your computer system is already seriously compromised, you might be better off using the AVG Rescue & Repair CD, a powerful, free toolset for the rescue and repair of badly infected computers.

For more details about removing specific malware infections, please see AVG Free Malware Removal Tools.

ANNIVERSARY VIDEO: A HISTORY OF BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT

Did you know that Blizzard Entertainment was originally founded under a completely different name? What is the significance of Jawassic Park in the context of Blizzard Entertainment’s art culture? Whatever happened to Orcs in Space? These and many, many more questions are answered in the full-length video we’ve just released on the Blizzard 20th Anniversary site. Clocking in at almost an hour, this video features candid commentary from the people who have spent the last two decades creating the games that helped make Blizzard Entertainment the company it is today.

Head over to the anniversary site and check out the Blizzard Retrospective Video now!

In the past few weeks, we’ve seen tons of inquiries about our forthcoming crime thriller experience, L.A. Noire. Today, your interrogation bears fruit in the form of an all new special installment of Asked & Answered. If you’ve got something else you’re dying to know about L.A. Noire or any other game old or new – hit us at mouthoff@rockstargames.com, send us a tweet, drop us a Facebook comment, or of course leave it in the Social Club comments area below and we may answer that in another future edition.

“What is the official release date for LA Noire?” – received via Twitter
“Nice to know the dates of release but what about a date for Australia?” – Tommy_Spaghetti

As confirmed officially recently, L.A. Noire will be coming to stores for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on May 17th 2011 in North America and May 20th 2011 in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. If you’re in another territory not covered in the above and would like to know when to expect the release of the game, drop us a line atmouthoff@rockstargames.com and we should be able to confirm the release availability for you.

“Hey Rockstar love the new LA Noire trailer! So you’re tracking down a serial killer the whole game?? Can’t wait to find out more!” – received via Mouthoff

Thanks! And actually the serial killer crimes are really just one portion of the game story. You are hot on the trail of that killer while working the Homicide crime desk, which is just one of five total crime desks Cole Phelps will work.

“@R* is there multiplayer in L.A. Noire? or just single player?” – ghostcheez

There will be no multiplayer component of L.A. Noire – the combination of innovative technology and unique gameplay that allow you to solve crimes through interrogations and investigation is really one that’s geared entirely for a single-player experience. Trust us that this is a game unlike any you’ve played before – very different not only for us here at Rockstar but for videogames as a medium. Bolting on generic multiplayer on top of that would not make much sense, or be a good use of our time or development budget! Hope this clears up any confusion. We thought this would be spelt out in some of last week’s previews, but as it wasn’t, we felt we should clarify ourselves.

“Hi R*. We heard about interrogations and analyzing a crime scene in L.A. Noire but what about follow a suspect on foot and in car, gathering information from informants, tap a phone call, milk a conversation? ….could be nice to hear more about gameplay.” – realrasta

Glad to see you’re getting into the spirit of it all – and yes, many of those things (but not all) and more will be part of the gameplay of L.A. Noire. From investigating crime scenes with a keen detective’s eye, to tense interrogations where you’ll have to pick up on nuances of what the suspect may (or may not) be telling you, to action-packed pursuit on foot, in car – plus fights and shootouts. We really wanted the game to make you feel like you are actually a detective, working criminal cases and making decisions about how you solve crimes and to build out a variety of gameplay moments and experiences to that effect. Look for a special new gameplay video about this subject called “Investigation and Interrogation” dropping this week.

“So, will I be able to choose from a wide range of questions when interrogating a suspect?” –The4ourTy67

“I’m guessing you get to choose from different questions/responses to ask your witness or suspect? Can these interrogations change the course of the game/story if not handled properly? Personally this aspect of the game is the most exciting for me. Nothing beats a good Noire mystery, I really hope that the cases take some serious effort to solve.” – IWIHooligan

You will always be given a range of questions when you interrogate a suspect, but the number and content of those questions is determined by how efficient you’ve been at searching related crime scenes for clues. The clues you discover can open up different leads to new locations or suspects, which in turn open up new options for a player to decide how to go about solving a case. Then during interrogations, it’s up to the player to correctly analyze a suspect in order to get the most information from them. Knowing when to believe a suspect, when to doubt them, and when to be certain they are lying (by presenting them with your evidence) will open up new ways for you to solve each case correctly. In every case, there is only one real truth about what happened – it’s up to your skill as a detective to discover it.

“All of those pre-order bonuses sound awesome but is there any way to get all of them? Hate to have to choose just one.” – received via Mouthoff

All of the L.A. Noire pre-order content will be made available for purchase as DLC at some point after the game comes out. We have long planned to do this for all digital pre-order items. In case you’re interested, the Red Dead Redemption pre-order items (Deadly Assassin Outfit, Golden Guns Weapon Pack and War Horse) will finally be available for download via Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network this April. Apologies that has taken so long, but we ran into some technical issues. Stay tuned for more details.

“R*, will we be able to see the Hollywood sign in L.A. Noire???” – rk8000

Yes, however since the game takes place prior to the year 1949, we have the historically accurate original version “HOLLYWOODLAND” sign in there. You can read the full history of that iconic landmark at the Hollywood Sign wiki page here, but in short – the sign was originally erected in 1923 to promote the Hollywoodland housing development in the hills. It wasn’t until 1949 that the city of Los Angeles decreed that the sign be changed to be broadly about the district of Hollywood.

“So are we playing as a police detective or a private investigator in L.A. Noire?” – ghostx1984

You will play as LAPD detective Cole Phelps – and as the game progresses and you solve more cases, you will rise up through the ranks of the LAPD from a beat cop to other positions. Much more will be revealed about that in due time.

“Is this going to be a sandbox game? If yes, is it going to be GTA style or more like Mafia where it’s really more of a set story game in sandbox world…” – MarenkaS

L.A. Noire is a detective game – and it is unlike any game we have made or anyone else has made that we are aware of. You solve a series of crimes, some of which are linked and some of which are not, in 1947 Los Angeles. As a company, we try to design games around the content and setting, rather than form the setting to the game design. So the answer to your question is not a simple yes or no, but it’s definitely not ‘GTA with fedoras’ and is something very original we’re excited for everyone to experience this May.

“Is the music in the L.A. Noire trailer original to the game?” – received via Twitter

The music in both trailers are pieces of original composition from the soundtrack – we will have full details on all of the music soon.

“I really like that L.A. Noire artwork [of Cole Phelps]. Are you going to release more artwork soon?” –The4ourTy67

Thanks! And most definitely. Look for lots more original L.A. Noire artwork of characters from the game as well as of some of the grisly crime scenes in the game to be revealed and released in the weeks and months ahead.

“[L.A. Noire] looks really great!!!! So the real murders and crimes of the 40’s like the Black Dahlia murder are gonna be in this game or something??? I read something on Game Informer that says “suffice it to say that this game might feature some of Rockstar’s grittiest content ever.” Well this sound’s more and more awesome!!!!!!!!” – Mortal91ify

Thank you. Yes, all of the cases in the game that you’ll solve as Detective Cole Phelps are inspired by real life crimes that happened during the 1940’s. Names and places may have been changed though, along with a good degree of creative embellishment to add extra drama and twists and turns.
