Admittedly, I am adding to the blaze with this column but in my mind it is worthwhile for the consumers...

    Wii Bowling Leagues for Senior Fitness?
    Today while at work I was dealing with a client who had just been playing the Nintendo Wii and she wanted more than anything to tell me about it after our business was dealt with. Unsurprisingly, she is a senior citizen and she believes that the Wii is the bees knees. With statements like, “…those Japanese, you know, they know what they’re doing with this Wii,”...

    Mario’s Pipeline Show: Video Game Regrets

Then you begin to wonder what happened...

    Molyneux Wants Government Help
    Peter Molyneux, the famed yet fishy developer, has recently been heard calling upon his government to get with the times and begin offering companies incentives for creating games in the UK.

    Sonic 4, 2D is Cool Yet Again
