Hidden Fees For All Gamestop Employees Critiqeued

Recently there was a study performed on Gamestop's payroll. The company uses either direct deposit, which is usually a good thing for many people, or they use a prepaid debit card from this company named Comdata. Comdata is a banking company for those companies to whom would rather avoid a paper-trail payroll system.

The company offers its services to a few industries. The ones listed on the Comdata website are as follows:

Fleet: Complete Fuel and Maintenance Solutions
Retail: Payroll & electronic funds distribution solutions and more
Government: To government agencies, which are increasingly expected to operate more like businesses
Aviation: Spending control plus flexibility for smarter management of corporate aviation expenses
Construction: Comdata addresses some of the most important financial obstacles facing construction managers
Restaurants & Hospitality: Payroll & electronic funds distribution solutions for the hospitality industry

Although their site is well made [and well maintained] it has an overwhelming message of intent. They are there to take your hard earned money. I feel nothing for the employees that are dealing with the issue of this Comdata card but I know where they're coming from. They're being charged bank fees [and other hidden fees] from the company. Getting ripped off stinks a lot. Glad I never got a job for Gamestop. I would be in the same position.

Red Dead Revolver Sequel Announced

That's what I'm hoping for when the new IP Red Dead Redemption. This is a sequel to Red Dead Revolver on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. The game is a shooter, if you didn't figure that out from the title, that took place in the Wild West. Players take on the role of former outlaw John Marston as they explore frontier towns and battle against other gunslingers.

This new title will be developed by the team at Rockstar San Diego that brought you Red Dead Revolver and Midnight Club: Los Angeles. The game is slated to be released in the Fall of 2009.

"The team at San Diego has massively exceeded our expectations with the sheer depth of experiences in Red Dead Redemption," says Rockstar Games founder Sam Houser. "The seamless combination of breathtaking beauty and intense action, all woven together with strong plotlines in a massive vibrant, rural environment is mind-blowing. We think this game helps to push the limits of what an open-world gaming experience can be."

Let's just say that this will be a well-received title due to its predecessor.
