It was as if his face calmly said,yes, and you should be.I really have loved everything he’s made (well, IlikedIvy the Kiwi?, which is much better as a DS game than a Wii game)....

TheNintendo 3DSisn’t even on shelves yet in North America, but Nintendo has already issued a system update today. In what may be the weirdest system update ever, it simply ads the ability to watch the OK Go music video “White Knuckles” in 3D. After the update is complete, the system reboots and you’ll find a “3D movie” icon on your home screen. This isn’t a dedicated 3D player or anything, it simply launches the OK Go music video....
There’s no doubt about it, the DS is on it’s last legs. You had a good run, buddy. Three revamps and hundreds of millions of units sold is better than most of us could ask for. This may be the end for the DS, but there are a few pretty rad looking games still to come for the console. That teenage cat-girl shmup-thing looks promising, and you can never have too much Chibiteratsu....

The Xbox 360 has long been considered the superior option for multiplatform games thanks to Xbox Live integration and the fact that it is, more often than not, the lead development platform. However, OTX analyst Nick Williams believes that things are changing, and that Xbox 360 users are slowly “defecting” to Sony’s Black Box o’ Blu-ray. Williams talks about “franchise lineage,” which is a fancy way of saying “what platforms people are buying sequels for....

We’re scratching our headsat this one. Despite the failure of recent mature titles to get any meaningful gain on the Wii, famed RPG developer Bethesda is willing to have a crack at the whip. The studio plans to announce a major Wii title later this year, which makes the team either very brave or very stupid. “We are going to make an announcement on a really big Wii game this year, we’ve got a couple of other things in the pipeline, and it’s a format we’re really looking at with the right approach,” reveals European managing director Sean Brennan....

If you peek in the gallery, you’ll also see familiar scenes fromAlienandI Am Legend. These jaw-dropping re-creations were made using the Sandbox 2 World Editor.

A German ex-politicianhas been chargedwith invoking violent acts against fascists after producing an anti-Nazi poster with a picture of Bomberman on it. The poster shows Bomberman holding a bomb disguised as a cake, with the lit fuse acting as a candle. It’s accompanied by the message: “Kein Zuckerschlecken für Nazis” (roughly translated as “No Cakewalk for Nazis”). On October 24 of last year, a demonstration of Nazis and a demonstration of anti-Nazis took place....
