If you’re one of those people unlucky enough to be going through some cold, dark winter months right now, then you’ll be wishing that Warner Bros. Interactive could get a bit of a move on and release their just-announced Vacation Isle: Beach Party game right now rather than in June when it’s scheduled for. Don’t they realise that we need it now?! It’ll be too late in June, we’ll have actual real sun to look at then! Anyway, regardless of when it comes out, Warner Bro. Interactive wants you to know that Vacation Isle: Beach Party is a game that invites families and friends to a virtual island paradise that’s brimming with fun and lively beach activities. Exactly where I should be right now, in other words. Sigh.

The long wait for FFCC fans in Europe is now finally over, and to celebrate the release of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers in PAL territories on Friday February 5th, Square Enix has unveiled some brand new screenshots, including an awesome one of a chocobo on the attack . Now fans in Europe will finally get the chance to experience for themselves the huge open-world universe, with a storyline that picks up a thousand years after the events of the original Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. In this new era, a rare breed of powerful beings called “crystal bearers” has emerged, whose seemingly magical abilities have led them to be feared and made fun of by the general populace. According to Square Enix, this next chapter in the FFCC saga “opens up a whole new style of game design never experienced in previous Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles games”. This is what Larry Sparks, Vice President Brands PAL Region of Square Enix said on the game’s release in PAL territories:
“Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers is a unique addition to the series and one which will appeal to Final Fantasy fans and to Wii owners with a thirst for an epic and immersive adventure.”

SEGA Europe has today released a new trailer from their forthcoming Iron Man 2 game. The trailer features the mighty War Machine joining in to lend a helping hand in spectacular fashion, all guns blazing! The game is due for release on the Nintendo Wii in April 2010, to tie in with the movie of the same name. This is what Simon Jeffery, President of SEGA America had to say about Iron Man 2 the game, which is currently in production at SEGA Studios San Francisco:
“We are thrilled to build on the success of the Iron Man phenomenon and work with Marvel and Paramount on another epic project. SEGA and Marvel are collaborating closely to ensure we deliver an authentic Iron Man experience.”

The brand-new storyline, which has been penned by renowned comic book author Matt Fraction, includes familiar elements from both the movie and comic book universe, giving fans the opportunity to pit themselves against video-game exclusive enemies such as Crimson Dynamo. Tony Stark is still trying to make the world a better place by giving it new technology, but unfortunately it’s the sort of technology that the villains also want to get their hands on. This of course leads to the inevitable epic battles against massive enemies as Tony Stark/Iron Man, once again attempts to save the world from certain doom.

The Wiimote has been used for plenty of non-gaming needs, including tidying up the house and controlling robots. Even the US military got in on the action, using the Wiimote to defuse bombs in Iraq. And let’s not forget the groundbreaking work done by Johnny Chung Lee — a man who just happens to have inspired the creation of the setup you see above.

Nintendo has been busy trademarking a new word, it has been revealed, one which is remarkably like the name of their successful games console, the Wii.
The word is, wait for it, Zii. What this actually means is unknown. All we know is that Nintendo decided to get its mucky paws on the Wii-like word moniker back in October, with the Japanese trademark database just releasing details of the acquisition this week.
From Wii to Zii
It may be that Zii has been snapped up because it doesn’t want the typo brigade in on the Wii name. This is unlikely though, considering you would have to have pretty big digits to mistake a W for a Z.
