Shamelessly attempting to rip off a plethora of yesteryear's gaming handhelds all at once isn't a new trick or anything, but you'd expect the creators of the Cool Boy to at least conjure up a name with some inkling of originality, right? Nevertheless, the portable, um, system features a 2.4-inch color display, gets juiced from a trio of AAA cells and even includes a video out port for taking the sweet handheld action to the 13-inch CRT. Of course, the thing only works with Cool Boy Mega Pack game cartridges, which means that even the homebrew crowd is likely out of luck here. But hey, you can get 120 sure-to-be-riveting titles in a single cart for just $7.99.

Zune Marketplace is no iTunes killer. But maybe Zune VideoX will (at least attempt to) be.
After recently hearing about Microsoft's grand entertainment-marketplace/service (codenamed eLive), now I'm getting word of yet another Microsoft entertainment marketplace, known currently as "Zune Video X" (for Video Experience).
Zune VideoX is not Zune Marketplace revisited, sources say. Instead, it is Microsoft's attempt to apply the lessons learned with the success of the Xbox Live Marketplace to the Zune market, said one source who asked not to be named. It would be a single hub where Zune users could buy and download music, videos, TV shows and more entertainment content.
Microsoft has been talking about building a unified entertainment marketplace for years. One such attempt was codenamed "Alexandria." Another is eLive, is supposedly a single, unified "entertainment marketplace" where consumers will be able to go to buy music, videogames, and other kinds of content that will work on Windows PCs, Xboxes, Zunes and Windows Mobile phones.
One of my sources believes eLive is dead and has been superseded by Zune VideoX.
"eLive was renamed and recrafted to Zune VideoX, and the eLive vision scaled down to focus on Zune," the source, who requested anonymity, said.

Over the last few weeks we compiled your questions for Shane Kim, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Game Studios, and Kim was nice enough to turn them around in a timely manner.
* Any ideas what I should do with my HD DVD add on besides stare at it with deep regret and a feeling of disgust?
* While it is unfortunate that HD DVD was discontinued, there is still enjoyment to be had from your Xbox 360 HD DVD Player. You can take this as an opportunity to build out your movie collection! There are around 500 HD DVD movies to choose from and many at great deals, so there is a fair amount of content for HD DVD on the market. It also is a terrific DVD player and it allows you to have game discs and movie discs, whether HD DVD or DVD, within the console at one time. The HD DVD player also adds two additional USB ports to your console.
* What will the business model be for XNA games? How much will they cost and how do they forecast this competing with the games currently on XBLA?
* Right now we are really focused on a successful community games beta launch this spring where members of the XNA Creators Club will be able to create and test our community games pipeline. Later this summer we will provide full details on the business models for community games on Xbox LIVE, but I can tell you that we don't expect them to compete with XBLA games.
* What is Microsoft doing to remedy the DRM issues affecting those who have suffered the red ring of death? It's been over two months since I received my new console (unit #3) and I still cannot access content that was purchased with my original 360 while I'm offline. For people who do most of their gaming offline, it is extremely inconvenient. It has also caused me to hold off on future Live purchases for fear of going through this again should I suffer another hardware failure. It makes sense that if you've paid for DLC, you should be able to enjoy it online or off. When are we going to see a resolution?
* I can absolutely understand your frustration. Please know that we have taken major steps to address the hardware issues experienced by our customers so that they won't have to deal with this in the future. For people in your shoes, I think we have an amicable solution already in place. I recommend that you visit this for instructions. This process will only require you to connect to Xbox LIVE once to download the content again. Once you follow this process, you should be able to play previously downloaded content whether you are signed into Xbox LIVE or not. If for some reason this process does not work for you, please contact 1-800-4MY-XBOX.

M-Cid (My Custom IDentity) today we share TriPingColors Complex. As you may know one color (on a screen like the psp) is composed of red, green and blue. The object of the game is simple, you will need to know these three colors proportional to find, as soon as possible and in a certain period of time, the right color and to mark maximum points.
This new version is called Complex, and it is not for nothing, because you must properly adjust the color of each branch of the figure and turns.
For 3 figures made the game a Level climbs.
1st floor: speed * 1, * 1 time.
2F: * 2 speed, time / 2. (4 item marked)
Level 3: * 3-speed, time / 3. (8 point scored)
(3 different speeds, March 3 different gauges time)

Sony typically won't allow adult-oriented games on their platforms, even though a few titles will often skirt close to the edge. However, this one steps over that line into full-on erotica, but because it's technically classified as a UMD, it locates that loophole and can arrive as an interactive virtual experience for the PSP in Japan.
It's called Bokudake No Kajitsu, developed by Jin Products and falling under the category of eroges ("gameplay animates in erotic fashion"). You must find love for three women: Rin, 19 years old, Hitomi, 25 years old, and Chizuru, 20 years old. However, these three ladies will be competing for the affections of only one man, so it appears to be a good old-fashioned cat fight premise...with plenty of anime nakedness worked in. As we just said, Sony wouldn't normally allow this "game" to appear on the PSP, but as it's described as using "system chapter and interactive menus," it can be classified as a UMD. If you're interested in giving this one a try - and you live in Japan - you can obtain more information by visiting the game/movie's official website. Just remember, this wouldn't hold an "M" rating if it had to go through the ESRB as a game; it would quickly get slapped with the "AO" ("Adults Only") rating.
So this is an interesting little loophole. How many more of these will we see? You know, "games" that aren't really games but the user can interact with them in a certain way, like Bokudake No Kajitsu, here? Leave it up to Japan to find a way to produce their much-sought-after anime erotica for the PSP, although we seriously doubt this will ever make its way to the US.

Like a stream of light, he arrives just in time -- Spider-Man is coming back to videogames.
Activision announced today that Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is currently in the works from Shaba Games and Treyarch for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PSP, Nintendo DS, Wii and PC. Although it wasn't ready to say too much about the action-adventure game, Activision did tell us that Web of Shadows will be set in a free-roaming, open-ended New York that combines web slinging with customizable superpowers. There will be the traditional combo attacks on the ground, but the game will also feature a brand new emphasis on vertical combat as gamers take Spidey to the skies and duke it out with bad guys.
However, it might not just be foes who are getting socked in the jaw. According to Activision, Spider-Man's latest adventure will let players choose how they want to play -- if folks want to be the friendly neighborhood superhero, they can, but they can also ignore missions and be the anti-hero who is only looking out for himself. Marvel heroes and villains will pop up in the adventure, and gamers will have the ability to change sides as they see fit.
Activision is keeping its lips sealed about what Spider-Man is up against in the new game but we know it's a threat to the entire world and that it can do some real damage to New York. From the one screenshot and teaser trailer, it looks like Spidey's up against a number of villains who can redecorate buildings and create giant oozing black tendrils. The black gunk and the alien-looking dudes crawling on the side of the building in the teaser makes us think symbiote, but there's no way to know what's going on at this point.
Still, you might be able to get some inside info if you're lucky enough to be at the New York Comic-Con this week. At Activision's booth, the company will be holding voiceover auditions for the title. Videos of the performances will be posted on the Spider-Man: Web of Shadow's website where the community will vote for who they want in the game.
Be sure you check IGN tomorrow for an exclusive Q&A with the folks behind Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, and feel free to hit up Yahoo!'s coverage of this morning's news.

-- All of this information is stored on a memory card that you use (count + 150Mb: twisted: for dat (125K) + all images and about 7Mb for the last 100 (which is more reasonable and ...)) can be updated through wifi.
-- SunOL is skinnable 95% (the official skin will be a skin ubuntu).
