If you remember, back in March Paramount movie studios announced they were getting into the gaming business. Today, they've announced their first three titles. To be developed in conjunction with Legacy Interactive, the first three games (all adaptations of films, obviously) will be...yes, Mean Girls, Clueless and Pretty in Pink. No word on target platforms or anything of the sort, but Legacy are in the business of cheap, disposable/casual titles, so anyone hoping for a sprawling, 100+ hour adventure based on the busy social life of Cher Horowitz will most likely be sorely disappointed.

Obviously people are going to pick one over the other, and in E For All's situation it truly is a case of move it or lose it. It's like they are trying to perfect some kind of twisted game expo that no one wants to go to. They're afraid a few people might show up this year, and they've decided to fix all of that by scheduling the event opposite PAX next year. The point I am trying to make is Penny Arcade's Robert Khoo is a lot more diplomatic than I am. FiringSquad recently interviewed Khoo about the whole messy situation.
But I'll be honest with you- since PAX started I've seen my fair share of consumer shows come and go (take IGNLive for instance). It's super hard to run one of these things, and I'd be surprised if E For All lasts longer than this year.

Although in-game marketing will remain a slow-growth trend, there is one thing marketers want to focus on that makes my skin crawl - marketing specifically to female adult players. The reasoning? Apparently, we hold the" majority of decision making buying power in the US", which either means we make more money than our counterparts or have no problem spending the money of our counterparts. I honestly don't mind doing both, but unless they're talking about getting some of John Galliano's fall collection for Dior to the Able Sisters, I don't see any cross promotion fever heading my way.

So your parents, grandparents, or sugar daddies have gone out and purchased this hot new Wii they've been hearing so much about, only now they don't know what to do with it. Sure, it came with pretty clear instructions, but those instructions were free, and you can't trust anything free. Enter Prima Games' new book, You & Wii: Everything You Need to Know. Due out February 6th, it contains vital information on the menu system, setting up your console, connecting to the internet...even creating photo puzzles, the main reason I bought the Wii in the first place.
