Game Gear Gift Guide '07: Part 3 - Nintendo No-brainers
Nintendo DS, Wii
In Part 3 of this 4-part series, we take a look the double domination whammy of the Nintendo DS and the Nintendo Wii, both hot this holiday, maybe even bothersome because you may not be able to pick one of them up.
Vivendi and Activision merge, oust EA as Largest Publisher
Internet, Nintendo DS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Wii, Windows PC, Xbox 360
Holy whole shebang, Activision and Vivendi Universal just suddenly, surprisingly, upped and merged; a game publishing combo that unites the Uber-franchises of Guitar Hero, Call of Duty, and Tony Hawk, together with StarCraft, Diablo and World Of Warcraft. Wow.

DFC Predicts Console Wars Winner
Nintendo DS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Wii, Windows PC, Xbox 360
Remember the good old days when the videogame industry had clear leaders and definitive winners? While echoes of Sony's domineering PlayStation2 still reverberate today (the old-gen system is still selling like hotcakes... or warmcakes at least), the future of videogame system supremacy isn't nearly as clear cut. DFC Intelligence forcasts.
Operation: Vietnam
Nintendo DS
Not exactly the preferred game system of your typical war(game)-monger, Operation: Vietnam for Nintendo DS is, nonetheless, a surprisingly polished, top-down squad-based shooter that's easy on the eyes and a lot of fun to play.
Touch the Dead
Nintendo DS

Indiana Jones, Raiders of the Lost LEGO
Nintendo DS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Wii, Xbox 360
LucasArts and TT Games crack the whip, build new LEGO game with Indiana Jones. How cool is that?
