Game Information

Looking for a puzzle game that anyone can play, but still offers plenty to master? Look no further than LONPOS, with its straightforward premise and large variety of puzzles to solve. Each puzzle revolves around a rectangular playing field of 55 spaces. Using a set of 12 pieces, the goal is to place every piece into the playing field, filling it completely. The higher the level, the more pieces you’ll need to fit correctly into the playing field. Challenge yourself with two single-player modes or bring a friend to compete against or cooperate with. When you think your skills are worthy, use Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to check out how you compare with other LONPOS players or download additional puzzles and backgrounds. (Router and broadband access required for online play. For more info, go to www.nintendo.com.)

29-year-old Takao Ike of Kanagawa Prefecture has been arrested for making consistent bomb threats to Hudson. The man has been thoroughly unhappy with some of Hudson’s recent games. From October 2008 to January 16 2009, Ike has carried out 11 different threats against the company by sending emails. In one email, the man also said he was sending a bomb to the company and would kill everyone. At one point, Ike had demanded 80 trillion yen.

In the words of Takao Ike himself, he said that he sent the threats “because I posted my demands concerning the games, but the games didn’t improve.”
