Time for me to finish my bran flakes then get myself to work, sadly. Good luck with Sims and SFIV everybody - pity me, stuck at work :(

Everyone addicted to the Sims 3, then? Might be the first one I actually play... but don't tell my other half!

Interviews: Red Steel 2’s Roman Campos Oriola

Plus your chance to pitch your questions to the developers!
Before I got the MotionPlus add-on in my sweaty hands, we had an in-depth presentation from the game's development team outlining the game's story to us. The original Red Steel revolved around an American entering the seedy underbelly of the Japanese mob world, but the second title tells a totally different tale that'll be familiar to fans of Westerns or Kurosawa.

I'm upset by quite how happy hearing the classic Sims music in the Sims 3 has made me. I'm not supposed to like the Sims!

The left side of my face is numb after the dentist's, so this the first time Another Star won't make me grin like a madman!

With all the excitement of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M, you may well need a bit of a sitdown and some relaxation, which is handy really as Nintendo have just released a batch of new screenshots and a freshly caught video of Endless Ocean 2: Beautiful Ocean.
Suda51 Has Bonkers Ideas For Wii Vitality Sensor

Well, what else would you expect?
Nintendo's recent announcement of the Wii Vitality Sensor may have convinced certain fans they've finally lost the plot, but No More Heroes creator Goichi Suda (better known as Suda51) is already brimming with ideas for the peripheral. Sadly he's not yet ready to divulge what they are, but considering the hero in No More Heroes saves on the toilet, you'd better believe they'll be completely barmy.
New Console Colours to Hit Japan
09:14 at nintendolife.com
When the Wii was first revealed all those years ago, Nintendo showed off a wide range of colours you'd be able to buy the machine in, ranging from fire red to vomit green. Sadly when it came to launch only the white console was available, but Nintendo Japan are finally ready to deliver on some of that early pigmentary promise by releasing their popular home console in the daring colour of... black!
New Super Mario Bros. Wii Only Multiplayer At Home

Considering all Shigeru Miyamoto's talk over the past few years of how long he's wanted to create a multiplayer Mario game, you'd think he'd be eager to harness the Wii's WiFi Connection service for the recently announced New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Sadly, you'd be wrong, as he recently confirmed it's offline multiplayer only.
