11:30AM Logan Booker | Zafehouse.com Is Open For Business: Zafehouse hasn’t done too bad, considering its meagre beginnings. I’ve decided I’ll update it with bug fixes and new features occasionally, and these things demanded an official home. There’s a new version up, which includes support for an online scoreboard. Give it a whirl! More »

Konami Launches DDR Community Site

3:20AM Mike Fahey | Has it really been 10 years since DanceDanceRevolution two-stepped into the gaming scene? Even more incredulously, has Konami really one 10 years without building a community portal for the series? No matter, as rectification comes now with the announcement of DDROnlineCommunity.com, a community portal where fans of Konami’s footloose franchise can gather together in peace and harmony, sharing videos, writing blogs, and sprucing up their personal profiles so they look much better than mine up there. The site also supports stat tracking, though currently the only game that supports the feature is DDR Universe 2 for the Xbox 360, which I own and have played exactly three times in the past three months, displaying my powerful commitment to personal fitness. Hit the link to set up your own online DDR presence, or jump right over it for a press release guaranteed to make your body move, probably. DDR Online Community Site [Konami] More »

EBGames Australia Gets New Website

12:30PM Logan Booker | About a day from now, EBGames.com.au will relaunch with not only a new look, but much needed upgrades. The updated site will include an improved catalogue browser, trade-in viewer and best of all – drop down menus. Okay, it’s really hard to make this exciting, especially as drop down menus are, by nature, pretty damn boring. I’m sure everyone who uses the site on a regular basis will get a lot out of it, or at least, convince themselves they’re getting a lot out of it. [Thanks Benjamin] More »

Ubi’s Prince Of Persia Site Dripping With Goo

12:00PM Mike Fahey | Well this is certainly a new look for Ubisoft’s official Prince of Persia website. Clicking on the link below takes you to a flash animation of glowing blue glyphs (words?) that slowly get engulf by a mass of oozing black goo. Could this have something to do with the recently trademarked Prince of Persia Prodigy, or is this something completely different? Will we finally see what happens when the Prince comes up again Spider-Man’s archenemy, Venom? Probably not. Trying to believably mix established gaming icons with comic book heroes and villains is a silly idea. I suppose we’ll just have to wait until either the big reveal, or they morph the slime into some sort of damned countdown clock. Official Prince of Persia Website [Ubisoft - Thanks ES!] More »
