Thor: The Dark World Trailer Lands With Mjölnir’s Thunder…

Call Of Duty ANZ Champions Hit Hollywood For $1M Prize This Weekend
After taking out the competition at the Sydney finals in March, Team Immunity (pictured) and Mindfreak eSports take on the world’s best Black Ops II players in LA April 5-7.

It’s hard to believe that the $US99 Android-based Ouya ‘indie console’ went from Kickstarter idea to the lounge room of early backers in around nine months.

I wouldn’t go quite that far, but the 7-inch (1280 x 800) handheld does have attractive mobile gaming specs: a quad-core Tegra 3 CPU, gyroscope, accelerometer, and a 12-core graphics chip. At $249 in Australia next month, can you see yourself on the train with one instead of, say, a ~$349 PS Vita? Watch the Nexus 7 in action…
Investigation Into Norwegian Mass-Murderer On ABC TV Tonight
Anders Behring Breivik has had enough publicity and having his insane ramblings associated with games grows tiresome. But I’ll post this for that very reason: I hope that the ABC’s Four Corners airing of a BBC investigation tonight at 8:30pm handles the matter more intelligently than the initial knee jerk reactions and default finger pointing from some quarters of the media. I’ll be watching, will you? [ABC Australia]
