Broken DS Screen? Fix It Yourself
11:20PM Luke Plunkett | Buggered your DS screen? I have. Too much Advance Wars. Thing is, I can’t be bothered ponying up $180 just for a new DS Lite when the rest of it works just fine. You got the same problem there, Tappy McScratchSmash? If so, here’s a guide on how to replace your own DS screen. All you need is a small screwdriver, a replacement screen and the knowledge that, yes, what you’re doing will void the handheld’s warranty, so whatever you do, don’t cock it up.

Sonic Unleased Not Connected to Those Shit Sonic Games
11:00PM Brian Ashcraft | Never mind that Sega’s crack legal team already confirmed Sonic Unleashed, Official Nintendo Magazine (UK) has a world exclusive! The Wii game will be out this winter, use the Wii-mote and Nunchuk, but won’t have online, it seems. Fair enough, the game seems like an old school Sega platformer — a good thing. Says the game’s lead designer, Yoshihisa Hashimoto: More »
BioShock 2 Coming To… The Wii?
11:00PM Brian Ashcraft | 2K Marin, founded by former 2K Boston members that made the original BioShock, is developing the sequel for 2009 release.

10:30PM Luke Plunkett | Still waiting on that promised ability to transfer Blu-Ray’s from a PS3 to a PSP. In the meantime, I’m going to point out something you’re never going to buy, and a situation you’ll most likely never find yourself in, but is interesting nonetheless. At least on a trivial level. Above is Sony’s BDZ-A70 Blu-Ray recorder, which lets you watch TV, then record that TV onto a Blu-Ray disc. And also a PSP. More »
The Converse/Nintendo Partnership That Never Was
9:30PM Luke Plunkett | These are art, not shoes, because unlike the garish-yet-limited run of expensive designer sneakers we normally feature, these are hand-painted. Which means getting them wet or performing any kind of strenuous activity is just totally out of the question. As is wearing them to literally kick a man’s arse after a heated bout of Smash Bros. Though hopefully there’s one or two moral reasons stopping you from doing that before you have to actually consider “cracking the paint on my new custom Chucks” to be the one that keeps things civil.

Burnout Paradise Gets Massive, Trenchcoat-Wearing Update
9:15PM Luke Plunkett | I like Burnout Paradise, but I’ll admit, it’s not without its problems. Its glitches. Its “characteristics”, as a used car salesman would tell you. Hoping to rectify some tons of those in one fell swoop, Criterion have announced that on April 24, both the 360 and PS3 versions will receive the “Bogart” update, which promises to fix a range of issues from online bugs to sequencing hiccups, with some gameplay balance tossed onto the back seat between them. Straight from Criterion, here’s the stuff that’s on offer: More »
