December 21st in America
You may have already tried the echochrome ii demo via PlayStation Network or the Starter Disc, but Sony has been silent on the release date for the final product – until now.
Another reason to Move
North American readers might already be participating in the PlayStation Rewards programme, an exclusive invite-only experience that seeks to honour regular PlayStation gamers with elite status, goodies and more. Tomorrow the package gets boosted with the introduction of Quests, and PlayStation Move is getting one of its own.
What big teeth you have
Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ has been out in Europe for well over a year but fear not, North America: Nintendo has not forgotten about you. In fact, you'll get your chance next Monday, as EnjoyUp has just shared the news the game is on the way at long last.

For what it's worth, PDC World Championship Darts: Pro Tour is the first darts game to hit the PS3, and comes fully equipped for PlayStation Move support - though DualShock 3 is also supported. With a host of licensed players, tournaments and sponsors it’s certainly not a half-hearted effort, but it falls just short of hitting the bulls-eye.
Yes, lady at Allianz, I am claiming for an Apple iPod Touch 16GB. No, please do not ask me again if it is an APPLE iPod or I may get angry.

Water, fire and much, much more
Never let it be said that the Nintendo Download lacks variety. On the same day that Nintendo launches new water-based puzzle game Fluidity, Korner Entertainment conquers completely the opposite end of the scale with virtual fireplace simulator Fireplacing. DSiWare is equally varied, with portable music studio Rytmik: Rock Edition rubbing shoulders with Oriental tower defence game Dairojo! Samurai Defenders. Virtual Console even gets a double whammy, with a classic 8-way shooter landing alongside a side-scrolling platform shooter about a legendary Monkey King. There's a little something for everyone today.
