Nintendo DSi XL (or LL) Shown Off in Official Video – Come See!

by Jay Garrett on November 12, 2009

nintendo-dsi-ll-on-tableRemember the super-sized Nintendo DSi with the large screen from a coupla weeks ago?

Well now there’s an official flick for it.

This is the first screening for the Nintendo DSi XL (or LL as it’s known in Japan) from the larger hand-held. The good thing is that it gives you a good idea of both the size of the screen and the extra large prodding stick – or stylus as they call it.

As you may recall – the target market are those that are not as nimble or well sighted as they used to be.

No! Not me! (yet).

Also on the vid is a shot of all the mellow colours that it will be coming in.

Not exactly the peeper abusing shades of the PSPgo.

It wont be reaching us til next year but you can still watch in action though :)

NHS to Give Wii Fit Plus Stamp of Approval

by Jay Garrett on October 26, 2009

cyberbikeSince Wii Fit arrived there has been the question: “Does it really work?”

There has been plenty of opinions but now the NHS has stepped in.

The National Health Service is quite happy to give Nintendo Wii Fit Plus its official backing.

The NHS say that there’s plenty many benefits to be gained from the balance board game by kids and adults who’d rather just veg out.

This also means that the sequel to Wii Fit will be able to use the NHS’s Change4Life logo in its advertising.

Change4Life is aimed at getting people to exercise and eat healthily – I’m sure we all know a gamer or two that could benefit from this change ;)

Add into the mix the full-size peripheral that’s planned to be released as part of Cyberbike in January 2010 that developer Bigben Interactive says will involve, “some of the most improbable vehicles ever imagined” – it all seem to be going Nintendo’s way in the lead up for Friday when the Wii Fit Plus hits the shelves – it will cost you £89.99.

Cheaper than a gym membership ;)

Even the singer in my band, Subset, has a certain je ne sais quoi.
But this concept car created by Citroën for the famous driving sim, Gran Turismo 5, has made that leap from fantasy to reality and was cruising the London streets just like the GT5 version [...]

As you’ve probably noticed; I don’t review games very often.
To be honest it’s rare I get the chance to play – but there is one FPS that keeps, quite literally, dragging me back – Valve’s award winning Left4Dead!
To my joy Left 4 Dead 2 has been announced at Microsoft’s E3 conference as an Xbox 360 [...]
