Keita Takahashi is a creative guy. Pads around bare-foot, comes up with stuff like Katamari Damacy. We love him for it, but at the same time, get the impression his heart’s just not in it anymore. It’s not a feeling inspired by playing his games. Katamari was great, Noby Noby Boy, also great. It’s based…

Bet you can’t guess what Nintendo is giving away for the upcoming Zelda game, Spirit Tracks? A FEATHER STYLUS. In Japan, those who pre-order the game can get a stylus that Nintendo was giving…
Haven’t had a chance to check it out myself, but the remake of classic sci-fi series V certainly seemed to go down OK with viewers.

Before Hollywood releases movies, they show the films to test audiences to see what they think. If the test audiences hate the picture, changes will be made. If not, then everything’s gravy. How did the Prince of Persia screening fair? According to film producer Jerry Bruckheimer, the movie is screening great — no, better than…
