Fancy some Charlie?
No we're not going into a new line of business, Ubi Soft have obtained the exclusive rights to develop video games based on "Charlie's Angels".
The agreement allows Ubi Soft to bring out the games on all platforms, and covers the original TV series, the recent movie and it's first sequel.
SO now you can finally live those dreams of being one of Charlie's Angels, only without all of the strange looks you get when you try it for real.
And if you're a Charlie's Angels fan you might like to buy the DVD, by clicking here.

Bad News for Nintendo!
Well in fact this isn't bad as such , but unfortunate. It is actually worse for the Ninty's, well i shall begin.
Recent sources inform me that recently Sony have mad an investment to the company known as Squaresoft (makers of such great games like Final Fantasy 7, 8 and 9) and now they own approximately 16% of the business. This means that Sony is guarenteed to have every latest Squaresoft game and well to put it Bluntly, Nintendo and Microsoft are not. So some Ninty's may say Nintendo should have settled the feud with squarsoft long ago and maybe, just maybe there would be a release of one of squaresofts ever famous RPGs on their great new console. But some will also say, "Good nintendo don't need" but me myself agree with the first.
However this was a great move by Sony, by making such investment they are guarenteed some great games on their ever growing console, but is this what Sony have in mind?? I think that this is a good question, because this move means that any profit squaresoft get from their games sony will get 16% of this. So what i am getting to is that Sony might want Microsoft and Nitendo to allow Suaresoft to produce games for their consoles. This would mean good money for Sony, due to such a great investment.
If this is true then Sony have got the right idea. Even if this isn't true Sony will still come up on top. So this is good news for all either way.

Nintendo = Big cash big Ideas
(source: http://cube.ign.com/news/40091.html)
The big cheese of Nintendo must be rolling in the big stuff after he has put a shocking 20 billion Yen, about $160,800,00 into the growth of small video game developers.
Pokemon was brilliant, Tetris and Mario equally so but what is the next big thing?? Well Nintendo President Hiroshi Yamauchi belives by getting small developers on their side Nintendo will once again be the ones to find it.
The new cash will be used to subsidize new development houses looking to work on GameCube or Game Boy Advance this new revenue will have conditions attached to it as long as projects are finished within a year and there is intrest rates to pay so it isn't EXACTLY free money.
But now small developers can make their BIG ideas real life under the trusty guidence of the Big N and the next Mario, Tetris, Pokemon and Zelda could be just around the corner.

WHEN......FROGS FLY ????
Recently a bizarre experiment has given a frog the ability to fly!
Scientists managed the feat by creating a gigantic magnetic field and then slightly distorting the orbits of electrons in the frogs atoms.
The reasearchers, from the university of Nottingham and Nijmegan, Netherlands have been qouted as saying "weve managed the same with grasshopers fish and plants, theres no reason to say it will not work on a human"
Who knows what this could do for the future.....
...probably nothing!

Underweather cats recovering in a US vet are given a welcome lift, by birds!
A local US vetenry surgery have recently been witnessing deeply depressed states after major operations leave the cats bored and unloved.
The donation of a video and TV set has proved to help the conditions. The video tape said to contain "Birds!" seems to liven the cats up a treat!
Dr Bahr said today "The video equipment is making a difference."
We hope to see the said cats up and about soon.
