Today, Capcom issued a Press Release, announcing that they would be releasing the first three entries in the Nintendo DS Ace Attorney series on Nintendo’s, starting with Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney in January, with Phoenix Wright: Justice for All and Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations to be released in the following months.
To read the Press Release, go past the break.
We have just heard from a reliable source that some of the unrevealed characters that will be in Super Street Fighter 4 are actually characters from Street Fighter 3. Even though Capcom has been very tight lipped about the other 8 new characters in the game, we will try and find out which ones as soon as we can. Anyone care to take any guesses? There was this one photo of Dudley VS Balrog from Justin Wong’s blog. Could this match up really be true? Or is it just a really good photoshop job of a wishful fan?
We’ll just have to wait and see.
You exactly have 5 days to figure out where the nearest Left 4 Dead 2 ad is and take a photo next to it. Why? Because Valve is hosting a contest that could win you a limited edition L4D2 Xbox 360 or a free copy of the game.
From the contest page:
Take a funny, interesting, scary or otherwise unique photograph of you or a friend in front of one of L4D2’s outdoor media placements (billboards, bus ads, etc.) and you could win a custom Xbox. All entries will be reviewed and judged by Gabe Newell, president and founder of Valve, so be creative!
All entries must be submitted by Sunday, November 15th.
So go out there and take photos! GL, HF. Full press release after the break.
At 12.01 midnight GMT on the 10th November, HMV, Game and select supermarkets opened their doors to the hordes of eager fans aching to get their hands on Activision’s latest block buster Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Sam Gibbs, representing Pixelated Geek, was on hand at HMV in London’s Trocadero to cover the carnage. With just under 1000 people expected, security was tight with a full team of door men were there to keep the piece. Competition winners were also on hand to collect their swag and of course get their hands on the game.
HMV laid on a full squad of military personnel complete with two army Land Rovers with which people, including myself, posed for shots (sorry again I just couldn’t resist).
First in the door was Chris from Surrey who had been queuing there since 1.30 am and managed to get his hands on MW2 at about 12.30 meaning he was one dedicated fan having queued a full 23 hours on the streets of central London. His hearty devotion to the game won him some favour with HMV who took care of him shipping him out with no less than three Prestige kits (a total sum of £360’s worth).
Shout out to Mr. Lai and Mr. Wood for braving the cold with me
As all keen FPS gamers should know by now, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 launches tomorrow, 10 November, ending the social lives of a lot of gamers across the globe for a couple of months. Activision, deciding that the follow up to the wildly popular COD4 MW deserved the red carpet treatment and held a launch event with all the trimmings in London’s Leicester Square, the home to many a film premier. The Vue cinema in the main square was the venue with hands on with the game on the big screen, a VIP party and even a surprise concert to entertain a lucky few.
For the hard core fan however, the action was already building at the Trocadero HMV where a massive queue of just under 1000 or so eager gamers had already formed. Check back later for some coverage of the action at HMV including a guy who had queued a full 23 hours on the streets of London just to be first in line and a boat load of military action.

Congratulations to Nintendo for getting their Game Boy inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame. I remember the first time I saw one of these bad boys. I couldn’t believe my eyes while watching my next door neighbor play Super Mario Land. I kept thinking to myself. Wow. This is Nintendo! But this is Nintendo that you can walk around with. Amazing!
The Game Boy has laid down the ground work for every advanced mobile gaming device and deserves this place in history.

We all saw this coming. The next step in Blizzards’ plot to take over the world, or at least your salary. Blizzard micro-transactions using their new Battle.net platform. Today Blizzard has added 2 new items to their online store for World of Warcraft players. Two new in-game pets. A mini Kel’Thuzad and Pandaren Monk for $10 each.
Some people are acting like this micro-transaction thing is new to WoW when in fact, it’s not. It’s just presented in a different way. Instead of going through the official World of Warcraft site, it goes through Battle.net. Blizzard already has a bunch of paid for services like server transfer, name changing, sex changes, race changes and faction changes.
Are any of our readers planning on buying one or both of these new in-game pets? Or are you one of those than can resist these two new cute vanity items.
The video above doesn’t show much gameplay or gives you any hints as to the tracks that are on the game but gives you the history of the company that is making the game. Most DJs know the name Numark and Akai, but to us regular geek folk that might be buying the game, those two names mean nothing to us. Names like Activision and Harmonix mean more.
After playing DJ Hero a lot, I think scratch will have decent sales with their game. It looks just like DJ Hero but with a few more buttons that aren’t on the turntable. I foresee it being a competitor just like Guitar Hero and Rock Band. But it’ll all come down to music tracks. DJ Hero has a lot of tracks I’m in love with, but Numark defintely has connections to more of the hip-hop community.
What do you guys think? Will this new game live up to the standards DJ Hero has laid down?
