BBFC uncovers Activision's plans to hold a massive Blood Drive
22
Yes, after suffering a few years of not-so-flattering opinions among hardcore gamers, Activision has decided to use its considerable wealth and power for more altruistic enterprises. The British Board of Film Classification recently revealed that the gargantuan publisher is hosting a Blood Drive of unparalleled scope later this year, which it hopes will deliver billions of gallons of precious hemoglobinz to people across the globe who need those hemoglobinz.
Hah! We're just kidding, of course. Can you imagine? No, no, the BBFC just rated a game coming from Activision called Blood Drive, a car combat action game for the Xbox 360 and PS3. The rating mentions "strong language and gory violence," leading us to believe it will focus more on the killing side of said genre, rather than the racing side. According to CVG, an Amazon listing which has since been pulled gave the title an October 26 launch date. We'll let you know when we hear more. (A real blood drive. Oh man. You should have seen your faces!)

This would be much "better" if it was being made by Visceral. Not only would they be reaching for public domain properties, their repertoire would then include public... events?

What they DON'T tell you is that they really are taking blood.

Well, I had been saying that I wanted a new Carmageddon 2, so maybe this will be my reward. :)

Me too!
Also that game where you were the taxi cab driver and had to drive people about within a Escape From New York kind of city. I should really remember the names of these things but it was so long ago

Will it be like Carmageddon? Add a dash of "Road Warrior",
and have spikes on the front, for pedestrians to get stuck
to.
I think that it was called "Road Warrior".

It'll really be a shame if they don't seize the opportunity to fund a massive blood drive as part of their campaign. How awesome would it be if you got some kind of DLC for donating blood? That'd be a great publicity stunt for them.
