It's time for the News

-Gameboy is 20 years old, and has a new family member. The Nintendo DSi sold over 600,000 units in the US and Europe in its first two days. Added features include two cameras, but lacks the GBA game port. Bye backwards compatability!

-Demigod was released too early by Gamestop. Stardock had a crappy easter as a result. Come on Gamestop, do your job!

-FFXIII set to release Winter 2009 in Japan. Gameplay videos here.

-Assassin's Creed 2 revealed, along with new character Ezio Auditore de Firenze, and the chance to fly around on DaVinci's wibbly-wobbly flying machine.

-BioShock 2 also made its debut. Much seems the same, though Underwater sequences and the ability to dual wield weapons and plasmids has us excited.

-Microsoft has declared the E74 error on the XBox 360 to be similar enough to the Red Rings to warrant covering it in the warranty. Hooray!

-6 days in Fallujah is going for complete realism of a very recent modern conflict. It's causing a stir, but is it any different from World War II games?
