The Outrageous and Magical Mayhem of the Warner Brothers Motion Picture Comes to Handheld This August in Europe

Macy, Jon Cryer and James Spader. Developed by Artificial Mind & Movement, the Shorts videogame is expected to release in Europe this August.

GTA: Chinatown Wars no longer a DS exclusive
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 2 Comments
I usually tend to stay away from news directly unrelated to Nintendo platforms, but I thought that this was pretty significant. Rockstar announced today that Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will be heading to the PSP later this year. This obviously means that the title is no longer a DS exclusive. I’m just wondering how the touchscreen controls will be changed for the PSP version. And also, why was this move made in the first place? Perhaps to increase sales of the title?

Peter Moore issues a challenge to President Obama
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
Earlier this week, President Obama delivered a speech to the American Medical Association. His speech mainly focused on health care, but there was a short remark about video games. The President, while speaking about “taking more responsibility for our health and the health of our children” said that kids should “step away from the video games and spend more time playing outside.” So how does Peter Moore fit into all of this? Mr. Moore, in a recent blog update, poked a bit of fun at President Obama and issued a challenged of sorts regarding an EA product – EA Sports Active.
“As a father of three and someone who spends many a morning or lunch hour out on a run and/or in the gym, I applaud the President urging Americans to get off the couch and get active. Of course, I can’t resist pointing out that while I’ve always wholeheartedly endorsed moderation in anything you do, including playing games, it may be time for the President and his family to put their Wii to good use and fire up the 30-Day Challenge with EA SPORTS Active. This is a ‘game’ even the President may not want to “step away” from…In fact, I know he’s in pretty good shape, but I guarantee the President wouldn’t look quite so smooth walking across the White House lawn to Marine One the morning after his first session with EA SPORTS Active (especially if he does those pesky lunges)!…Mr. President, here is my challenge to you: Try EA SPORTS Active and I guarantee you’ll need aides saying ‘Yes You Can!’ to finish your first workout.”
