Karlsbad, Germany (December 08, 2009) – Nero, creators of liquid media technology, today introduces Nero Music2Go software, customized for the Nintendo DSi system. The new offering allows users to extend the features of their portable game system to rip and transfer music files from the desktop to Nintendo DSi. Nero Music2Go is the second iteration [...]

A collection of some of the cutest, weirdest, strangest, and interesting gaming-related gifts that you could possibly give/get.

Really…this is the work of a 6th grader? I guess that would make you 11 to 12 years old? I know my drawing skills sucked back then and they suck now, but I thought most kids were better at drawing than I was! I’m not knocking this kid…I’m just surprised. Check out [...]

Having already dated the timed-exclusive XBLA debut of Alien Breed Evolution -- it will land on December 16 -- Team17 has told GamerZines when PC and PS3 owners can expect the game. According to Team17's Mark Baldwin, Alien Breed Evolution will hit PCs sometime in the first quarter of 2009, while the PS3 version will arrive in the second quarter. Elaborating, Baldwin said the PC version should be available "sometime before March." Meanwhile, PS3 owners "will have to wait as long as perhaps June." Team17 has previously stated that exclusivity is "just the way the world works," noting that Microsoft had a lot of early faith in the title. At least three to six months' worth of faith.

With the iQue DSi launching in China on December 15th, Nintendo has put out new Nintendogs wallpapers to promote the fact that these iQues come with Nintendogs pre-installed. We might not get that in the states, but we can enjoy these adorable wallpapers!

Are you planning on being in Kalmar, Sweden next week? I didn’t think so…which is too bad. We’re all going to miss out on a new Silent Hill offering. No, it’s not Shattered Memories’ release in Europe. It just so happens to be a play put together by fans based on [...]

TV Tokyo’s news program has done a spot related to video games, and they brought along a few helpful charts with them. First up, let’s look at console sales in Japan over the past few years. As you can see, things certainly changed in 2009, and now there’s quite the hardware race going on. [...]

It’s hard not to be both excited and scared about Metroid: Other M. The series is going back to its roots in some ways, and branching out yet again in others. We’ve seen that Retro knows what to do with the franchise, but can Nintendo work well with Team Ninja? One would [...]

Using its cost-effective ESRB method of announcing new games, Atlus revealed a new DSi program called PhotoWorld. As you may expect from a game with that title, it involves taking pictures with the DSi camera. Players shoot a self-portrait and then "customize the pictures with a variety of stamps, photo effects, and text boxes." As Siliconera notes, Atlus already sort of has a program like this on DSiWare. Nintendo's Sparkle Snapshots is based on Atlus's popular Print Club (Purikura) booths. We look forward to finding out how this one differs -- there's absolutely no way it could be any more sparkly, that's for sure. Of course, we aren't even sure this is DSiWare -- while this sounds like the kind of thing you would sell as a download, all we know is that it's for the DSi.

< ![endif]--> Direct link here REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Before the launch of the Wii™ system, most seniors probably never gave video games a second thought. But then came the game Wii Sports™ and, with it, senior bowling leagues and the emergence of video games as a regular pastime for seniors nationwide. This month Nintendo pays tribute [...]

Another great year for the PC gamer.

Sony Santa Monica fills us in on its progress with Kratos' latest, and maybe final, battle against the gods.

As fans of Sega's Yakuza series (known as Ryu ga Gotoku in Japan) will quickly point out, the lengthy wait for localized versions is somewhat of a disorganized crime. With two PlayStation 3-exclusive installments already available in Japan (and a third on the way), Sega Europe's online community manager, Kevin Eva, offers an enthusiastic answer to the impatient question: "YAKUZA 3 IS COMING TO THE WEST." So enthusiastic, it seems, he's already busting some CAPS. Writing on the European PlayStation Blog, Eva confirmed that Yakuza 3 will hit the US, Europe and Australia in March 2010, and reiterated the game's adherence to its cultural origins -- not to mention Sega's budget. "As part of the lengthy localisation work Yakuza 3 will feature full English subtitling," he wrote, "whilst maintaining the rich Japanese voice actors that bring an extremely engaging atmosphere to the game - this will no doubt please the purists out there!" Plus, you wouldn't want to upset those rich Japanese voice actors by replacing them. Who knows how well they're connected?

SEGA's brawler confirmed for release in US, EU and AU.

Light is, by most accounts, a pretty good thing. It's warm, it makes plants grow and, perhaps most importantly, allows us to see. At least, that was its most important function. Now, thanks to Alan Wake, we know that light's ultimate purpose is to disintegrate monsters. In the small mountain town of Bright Falls, a simple flashbang becomes a weapon of mass destruction and an ordinary road flare is transmogrified from a beacon of hope to a harbinger of doom. If you don't believe us, check out the new teaser -- part of a week-long Alan Wake feature at 1UP -- after the break.

Design an animation for the game, fame to follow shortly.
