Deadliest Warrior, the television show that scientifically matches up history's greatest fighting techniques, is being turned into a game.
Deadliest Warrior: The Game was announced during a video reel at the Spike Video Game Awards 2009.
The clip showed a knight squaring up to a ninja in a forest, each using their relative styles of attack before the video asked, "Who is deadliest?" The knight did have a shuriken thrown in his eye during the confrontation. That probably would have stopped us.
Deadliest Warrior: The Game will be released as a downloadable title in 2010. No platforms were mentioned.
Spike TV makes Deadliest Warrior and the show will return for a second series - find out more on the official website. Not to be confused with Deadliest Catch, which is a show about fishing crabs.

Developers are claiming that ZeniMedia - the parent company of games firm iD Software - has filed a DMCA takedown notice with Google to remove clones of Doom, Quake and Wolfenstein from its Android Market Store.
The move may simply be for copyright protection purposes, but it could signify the imminent debut of official Android versions of some or all of the games.
However, the news is slightly confusing, given that the source code from at least one of the original games, Doom, is available open-source.
Clones of the games are still available from sources other than Android Market, however.
Google's store is certainly coming onto the radar of more games developers right now, thanks to increasing Android handset sales.
However, its Market still has a Wild West feel when it comes to copyright - witness the popularity of retro console emulators, which are barred from some other app stores (including Apple's).

Less is more: The brand-new XL+ Wii accessory series and their own web shop take off
Boundless play
The new snakebyte XL+ series turns the classic accessory concept upside down. While the classic accessories are built to complement existing features with hardware additives, snakebyte Europe, famous for qualitative and innovative accessories for consoles, handhelds and PC, now turns the tables. Instead of complementing the Wii Remote with attachments, snakebyte implements the attachment! With other words: Wii Motion Plus is built right into the new Remote XL+. Without any construction, no new silicon cases, just activate the remote and get started. But with the integration of Motion Plus the innovation isn’t at its end: integrated batteries, which can be charged directly via USB, are also included in the “all-around carefree package”. An external Sync-button makes sure that the Wii Remote does not have to be dismantled to be able to sign in.
- Wireless Remote XL+ Controller for use with Nintendo Wii
- Enjoy the most intuitive motion sensing gameplay ever
- MOTION PLUS integrated, no additional purchase required (e.g. for Wii Sports Resort)
- Use up to 4 units simultaneously for maximum multi-player fun
- Super sleek and elegant design
- Integrated speaker for realistic positional audio effects
- Built-in memory to save settings and avatars
- Strong vibration effects
- Rechargeable Ni-MH batteries and USB charging cable included
- External SYNC button for convenient synchronisation with the console
The Remote XL+ will be available commercially from the 15th January 2010 for a price of 49.99€ (RRP).
We also have a solution for the ones who already have a Wii Remote and just want to upgrade it, true to the motto “less is more”. The Motion XL+ is a wireless Nunchuck. Therefore any cable connection to the Wii remote is dropped. The new freedom is furthermore complemented by the Motion Plus feature which is integrated in the receiver. So whoever is on the search for a wireless Nunchuck, will simply get an additional Motion Plus without having to purchase it additively.
- Motion XL+ Controller extension for the snakebyte Remote XS Controller or for use with the Wii Remote
- MOTION PLUS integrated, no additional purchase required (e.g. for Wii Sports Resort)
- Wireless connection to the main controller (available separately)
- State-of-the-art 2.4 GHz wireless technology, virtually lag-free
- No interference: up to four Wireless Motion XL+ Controllers can be used simultaneously in multiplayer matches
- 100% compatible with all games that support the original Nunchuk
- External On/Off and synchronisation buttons
- Two rechargeable Ni-MH batteries as well as USB charging cable included in delivery, the controller can be charged using any USB port
The Motion XL+ will be available commercially from the 15th January 2010 for a price of 29.99€ (RRP).
The simplicity of charging
To enable a related accessory system, the way of charging the batteries has been newly conceived: The Flux Duo Induction Charger receives entry into the living room with its “wireless charging”. The Wii Remotes are charged via modern induction technology, by basically laying them into the charging pod. The troublesome act of removing the silicon sleeves is therefore dropped, because the Flux Duo charges also with “rubber”. Two induction batteries for snakebyte and Nintendo Wii remotes are already included in the set.
- Induction Charger for two snakebyte Remotes or Wii Remotes
- Induction technology allows charging of Remotes with and without silicon sleeve
- Charging of Wii Remotes possible even with Motion plus hardware equipped
- Effortlessly lay down the Remote Controller or batteries into the charging cradle
- High quality 700 MAh NiMH batteries included, charging of batteries possible even without Wii Remote
- LED charging indication
- Power supply through the console’s AC adaptor, the console must not be turned on to charge
The Flux Duo Induction Charger will be available commercially from the 15th January 2010 for a price of 29.99€ (RRP).

Battlefield: Bad Company
XCM has released multiple software versions due to multiple different kinds of mouse and various of FPS games, one software and setting may not be compatible with all of these games, so they have released 2-3 versions of software for gamers to select which one is suitable for them:
Regarding to each mouse has different setting, so we released 4 new softwares to adapt to suit individual taste. (Notes: you can adjust the sensitivity of axis X and Y to suit the game play, but not the high sensitivity is good for all the games, some only needs to set to 3-4 is better than the high rate!)We'll have a full review when we have given our review copies a full run through. You can purchase any of these products at Play-Asia, Divineo, Console Source and Extreme-Mods.

The PS3 Slim was a decent attempt at reducing both the size, and the cost, of the original PlayStation 3. But did you know Sony were considering making some more drastic changes?
In an interview with Nikkei, SCE's Masayuki Chatani, from the company's strategy planning department, has revealed that not only were Sony looking at making the Slim even smaller, but that they were looking at some fairly radical solutions to the problems of HDD sizing.
One of those was to use flash memory instead of the conventional HDD the PS3 currently uses, which would have cut down on the size, running costs and even noise levels of the console.
Another was to leave local storage out of the equation altogether, and instead rely on the PlayStation Network to save all of a user's game data, personal files and settings (similar to how Gmail works, for example).
Chatani says Sony "considered both options", but in the end, "felt that the price would be too high for the amount of storage capacity the PS3 needs", so they stuck with a conventional HDD.
He also says, when comparing the Slim with the PS2's redesign - a model that made far more drastic cuts to the dimensions of the console than the Slim has managed - that reducing the size of the PS3 even further was a possibility, but that in order to do so, the machine's power supply would have to have been made external (as it was on the PS2 Slim), which "would have imposed restrictions on transport and use, making it harder to use freely."

Well here you have it folks, honest-to-goodness pics of the Google Phone... AKA, the Nexus One. As you can see by the photos, the design of the device is largely similar to those we've seen, but the graphic on back is slightly different, and that piece of tape is covering a QR code (how very Google of them). Just like we've heard before, the updated OS features new 3D elements to the app tray, as well as an extended amount of homescreens, though it looks like the lock screen / mute is the same as in Android 2.0.1. Additionally, there's now a new grid icon at the bottom of the homescreen, which when pressed brings up a webOS card-style preview of all homescreen pages -- which raises some interesting possibilities. Apparently there's been a new software update for the device pushed tonight, and sure enough the phone is identified as the Nexus One on the system info page. Quite clearly this device is running on T-Mobile, and is also using WiFi, so there's two other questions you've got answers to. The phone also appears to come loaded up with Google Navigation (a bit of a no-brainer) and the brand-spanking-new Google Goggles. Hardware wise, the Nexus does look incredibly thin and sleek, and while there's not a slew of buttons (those four up front are clearly touch sensitive), there is a dedicated volume rocker along the side. Oh, and note this... no HTC logo anywhere to be found. We'll update the post as / if we get more info, but for now, feast your eyes on the gallery below!

Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has remained the best-selling title in the UK all formats chart for a fifth week, despite an 11 per cent drop in sales.
In one of the last weeks before Christmas there are few new releases, the fastest mover being Ubisoft's Just Dance for Wii at number eight, rising up from its debut last week at number 30.
Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for Nintendo DS was one of the few genuine new entries of the week, coming in at number 12.
With much of the rest of the top ten unchanged from the previous week Wii Sports Resort rose three places to number five with a 17 per cent surge in sales. This was enough to make the game the best selling individual format title of the week, dethroning New Super Mario Bros. Wii and coming in ahead of both Wii Fit Plus and Modern Warfare 2 on the Xbox 360.
Assassin's Creed II was unmoved at number three in the all formats chart, with just a 3 per cent fall in sales, with Wii Fit Plus up 11 per cent at number four and FIFA 10 sales down 15 per cent at number five.

The PlayStation 3 is still being sold at a small loss according to the latest estimates from market research firm iSuppli, with Sony predicted to be able to break even in the near future.
iSuppli's analysis of the 120GB PS3's internal components has lead it to put a figure of USD 336.27 on the cost of parts and manufacturing for the console. The hardware sells for USD 299.99 in North America and the equivalent of USD 438 in the UK and USD 318 in Japan.
The falling cost of components is likely to see the cost of manufacturing continue to fall in 2010, with iSuppli analyst Andrew Rassweiler commenting: "In light of these factors, the PlayStation 3 probably is already at or near the tipping point for profitability."
iSuppli suggests that Sony was previously losing USD 49.72 on every sale of the console (although which model this figure refers to is not specified) despite a higher price point.
"Since the introduction of the PlayStation 3 in late 2006, Sony has subsidised the price of every console sold, a deficit the company has made up for with game sales and royalties," said Rassweiler.
The single most expensive component within the PS3 continues to be the Blu-ray drive at USD 66, followed by the Nvidia Reality Synthesizer graphics chip at USD 45.82 (down 21 per cent on the version from older PS3 consoles). The cost of the famous Cell chip has also dropped by 19 per cent to USD
