”Peter Moore Launches EA Blog
Ah Peter Moore, how we've missed you. No one has really stepped into the "public face" void filled by Moore's sudden departure over at Microsoft, but fortunately, Moore himself is still going to be very much a public face in gaming.
Today the EA Sports president launched his very own blog over on EA Sports. Moore says he hopes to update it weekly with thoughts on sports, sports gaming and the gaming industry. He also told me in a recent interview that he might post some picture of fancy new digs (complete with sports bar I'm told) on the site down the line.
If his first blog post, which touches on everything from Facebreaker, the Super Bowl and why he thinks Larry Hryb is the Perez Hilton of video game blogging, is any indication, Inside the Game with Peter Moore is going to be a must read for sports gamers. Oh, and the best part? His posting name is EACrazyLegs. Wow! Turns out that EACrazyLegs is actually the community manager who posted Moore's first blog entry. His real forum name is... PeterMoore. Boo!

Japanese Adult Video Actress Gets Game Blog
We've known for a while that, among other things, Japanese adult video actress Ann Nanba was really into games. Her gamer cred: She owns a PS3, an Xbox 360, a PS2, a PSP, a Wii (which she bought in NYC on launch day) and a DS (which she waited in line for.) She seems to truly be into games, among other things. Over at Japanese game blog network Beside Games, Ann's blogging about the games she's currently playing. Which is? Dragon Quest IV, Game Center CX and Wii Fit. Her site is fairly innocuous and, as of posting, totally work safe. Her movies are totally not.
