More US boxart for the DS, this time in the form of Diddy Kong Racing. While it won’t be a Mario Kart, Diddy Kong racers can be enoyable, and anything with online play is entertaining for a few hours.

” But because the Wii, the PS3 and other game consoles have Internet access, it’s easy for kids to access porn.‘
It’s easy to avoid porn as a kid these days. Heck, thanks to proxies with inbuilt nanny systems and sites such as Yahooligans!, showing your children an internet without pornography is easy-cakes.
Lady, supervise your children when they are in a situation where they might access foul materials, and you will be all set for a family friendly Wii web browsing experience.
Every now and then there is a website article that stands out from all the mismatched patchwork of random that makes up the internet. This one, is simple. Its just a chronological time line of Sony’s mistakes in recent times.
From sinking Lik-Sang to labeling the Wii ‘more fun‘, all of the great moments over the last few months are listed with links to relevant articles.
Kudos to Sony though, their attitude despite all the negative media directed to them is upbeat. Well, either its an incredibly resilient mood, or perhaps Sony just took articles like Analyst: “I cannot imagine a PlayStation 4″ with a sense of smugness, knowing that even the most intelligent beings couldn’t fathom how insanely brilliant the PS4 is going to be.
Remember Nanostray? Well even if you don’t its back, and its gonna take your DS by storm. Check out this latest promo video!
Since we posted the Xbox360 Necrophilia Video, we have refrained from posting bundles of Xbox360 mock-videos, as it was felt that enough damage was done by the aforementioned as it circulated the web.
However, months have passed and we discovered the latest piece of media that detracts respect from the Xbox360 to be amusing. So without any further ado, courtesy of YouTube and Digg, The Xbox360 Red Light Serenade performed to the mellow tunes of ‘Roxanne’ by The Police.

Impossible Mission is coming in 2007 to a shelf near you. That’s right, a shelf. Not the virtual console, it will be sold in-store. Jeesh.

Live in Massachusetts? Well Boston Mayor Thomas Menino may make life difficult for you soon if you are a minor. The Mayor, with help from the prolific Jack Thompson, has proposed a piece of legislature that places video games in the same category as pornography.
If a video game meets any of these criteria, than youth will not be able to purchase the title.
‘Depicting violence in a manner patently offensive to prevailing standards in the adult community, so as to appeal predominantly to the morbid interest in violence of minors.
Is patently contrary to prevailing standards of adults in the county where the offense was committed as to suitable material for such minors.
Lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value for minors.‘
As much fun as it would be to pin the approval of this bill this to the characteristic Mayor, the fact that Jack Thompson is involved in this usually means that the amount of media attention that the issue will generate, will ensure that the bill never be passed.
