Infinium Labs Lawyers Sell Stock

By Ian Bell January 27, 2005

“A lot of lawyers from that firm are walking away with not only lawyers fees from all the work they did for Infinium Labs (unless on retainer), but a hefty bit of pocket change. Most cashed in their stock on the 11th for almost $100,000. Mr. Chapnick gets the lion’s share with almost $750,000 dollars. Hey, we all pretty much laughed at the ridiculous nature of the letter at the time. Who’s laughing now all the way to the bank?”

Although Kyle Bennett and HardOCP won their court battle against the mysterious game console manufacturer, we have yet to hear about any settlement terms with the hardware site. Meanwhile, the attorney’s over at ICARD MERRILL CULLIS TIMM FUREN & GINSBURG are walking away with some pretty hefty money – as much as $750K dollars. Hopefully the folks at HardOCP do not wind up getting short changed as a result.

Infinium Labs gaming console was recently listed on Wired Magazines vaporware list. A clear indicator that the magazine does not think a tangible product will ever make it to market.

3 Xbox Game Pass titles you should play this weekend (May 10-12)

Chai in Hi-Fi Rush.

This may feel like an odd weekend to play Xbox Game Pass because it has been such a devastating week for Xbox. It shuttered four studios that fell under Bethesda's umbrella, with Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks being the most notable closures. Although it can be tough to enjoy playing games during a time when the game industry is so clearly hurting, it also offers us an opportunity to look back at what these developers created and appreciate hard work. That's how I chose the three titles I'm spotlighting today.

First is the last game from Tango Gameworks, a critically acclaimed rhythm-action game that had the potential to be a new franchise for Microsoft had it not shut the studio down. Then there's a Tango Gameworks title that's more in line with the studio's horror roots and shows just how varied the studio's game output could be. While Arkane Austin's reputation has been sullied by Redfall, the last entry on this list is a much better game from the company. It's a sci-fi immersive sim that played right into the studio's greatest strengths before it chased the multiplayer game trend.

3 new Nintendo Switch games you should try this weekend (May 10-12)

Two players play Nintendo Switch.

If you only tend to follow the biggest video game releases, it may seem like the Nintendo Switch is currently in a game drought. The system has only gotten a handful of niche releases last year, like Endless Ocean: Luminous, that haven't been Zelda-level hits. Zoom out a bit, though, and you'll find that Nintendo's aging system is still thriving. That's thanks to vibrant indie and third-party scenes that are keeping the platform engaging.

If you're looking for a new Switch game to play this weekend, you actually have more to choose from than you might realize. The system got several games this week, from a chaotically fun Pac-Man game to a genuine game of the year contender. Here are three games to check out on Switch, all of which are worth picking up this weekend.

3 PlayStation Plus games you need to play this weekend (May 10-12)

The weekend is here, so you probably want to sit back and relax by playing some video games. If you're subscribed to PlayStation Plus Premium or Extra on PS4 or PS5, then there are tons of fantastic titles to choose from in the subscription service's vast game catalog. It's a lot to sift through, so I've handpicked three titles I think you should check out if you haven't played them already.

One is a superhero game that launched alongside the PS5 and can be beaten within a weekend. The next is an eerie indie Metroidvania that just got added to PS Plus Extra when it launched on May 9. Finally, there's a sequel to a fantastic roguelike (not Hades 2) where you play as a new person in the same family every time you die.
