Blob Castle

Some new box arts have seen the light of day, both of them US-based. First we've got quirky paint-em-up De Blob, it looks promising. Sir, these reckless colors are against the law.

On the down side, 2 AAA batteries are needed... read more

This is kind of a rumor. Gaming site IGN (you may have heard of it) had a report up earlier about EA bringing Skate to the Wii and DS. It seems like this info wasn't supposed to come out yet, and the article was taken down. But proof (loose proof admittedly) of its existence can be seen in this shot of Google: There's a lot of talk about the Wii Balance Board being supported too.... read more
