Braid for the DS isn’t likely in the slightest

“…There are a lot of technical and design challenges and maybe it’s not worth it. For the DS the game would have to be completely re-created from the ground up, and I won’t do that (I would rather be working on my next game), and I don’t know anyone I would trust to do a high-quality job on that. So it is probably not going to happen…”
I find this news to be unfortunate, but hey – At least there is one Braid game in existence. Better than nothing, right?

Matthew Pyke, a 20 year-old Advance Wars fanatic, was found dead on Friday. Pyke ran an Advance Wars website under the alias of “Shade.” Police have been investigating the incident and have began to surmise that there is a possibility that another person Pyke had come into contact with through Advance Wars – or other video games – may have attacked him. “A spokesman for Nottinghamshire Police said officers were investigating his links with other online gamers but stressed it was just one of a number of leads being pursued.”

Chinatown Wars drug-dealing causing controversy already

With the announcement of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars back at E3, there was a known certainty that when more details would come to light, there would be an outpour of concerns garnered from families and the media in general. Yesterday, it was revealed that Chinatown Wars will feature drug-dealing on the DS. With that news, complaints about the mini-game are beginning to start. Darren Gold of charity Drugsline, for instance, has commented that “Anything using drug-dealing as entertainment is sending out the wrong message.”
