The Casual Entertainment Label of Electronic Arts, Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) unleashes the star power behind its upcoming Boogie SuperStar game for Wii today with the announcement of international music sensation Natasha Bedingfield as the game's featured spokesperson. Additionally, EA unveils the full Boogie SuperStar soundtrack including nearly 40 hit singles made famous by today's hottest artists.

Bedingfield, who has topped the Billboard charts with number one singles and albums in both the U.S. and the U.K., has joined forces with EA to promote the game, which allows girls to perform their favorite Bedingfield songs including her current single "Angel," "Love Like This," and the title track from her new hit album Pocketful of Sunshine.

"Boogie SuperStar brings to life all the fun and excitement of performing," said Bedingfield. "Being on stage is such a thrill and it's great to be a part of an EA video game that lets girls experience how much fun it is to express themselves and explore their own creativity by performing."

In Boogie SuperStar, players don't just play along, they are the star of the game. Girls will have a blast belting their favorite tunes into the microphone, and performing real dance moves that are captured on screen using the Wii's motion-sensing technology. The journey to stardom doesn't have to be a solo! Girls can also sing and dance with their friends or against them in fun competitions that show-off their singing and dancing talent.

"Boogie SuperStar represents a new level in the convergence of games and music," said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive for Music and Marketing. "EA has combined the very best game interactive capabilities of the Wii technology and the Boogie brand to form an unprecedented soundtrack with the hottest new tracks made famous by the biggest artists in the world today. We've been actively involved in Natasha's career since its inception, and we're proud to have a star like her actively involved."

Featuring nearly 40 of today's hottest tracks plus additional tracks for an International version, Boogie SuperStar will have girls bursting with excitement as they discover they can both sing and dance to their favorite songs in one game. The North American version of the game will also feature four hidden tracks—each can be unlocked with a code provided by four major retailers.

The latest issue of Famitsu has a first report on Ougon no Kizuna, a new Wii action RPG from Jaleco.

In Ougon no Kizuna, you take control of main character Lian in intense battles that make heavy use of the Wiimote's pointing capabilities. You use the nunchuck to move about, and target enemies by directly pointing with the Wiimote. From there, it's all about mashing buttons for combos and special attacks. The game puts players up against large groups of enemies, as well as massive bosses.

In addition to the main story, which is split into chapters, you'll find over 100 quests to help pass the time. These quests actually appear to be a central part of the game, whose theme revolves around the bonds Lian form with people of the world (the game's title translates to "Golden Bonds").

The title is drawing attention in particular due to some of its staff members. Miwa Shouda, who previously worked on Final Fantasy XII, Saga Frontier, and Legend of Mana, is working on the game's scenario. Yoichi Kawaguchi, of Little King Story and Dragon Quest VIII fame, is serving as director and programmer.

Ougon no Kizuna will hit the Japanese Wii this Winter.

Console modder Sam Thornley actually built this Pac-Man Mini handheld way back in 2007, but he only recently shared it with the members of Ben Heck's forums, and we're sure glad he did. There's nothing too special at the heart of this one, just a Jakks Pacific Namco Arcade Classic system, but Sam hit all the right marks with the little details, from the red buttons that are just itching to be pressed to the old school flip switch to the bigger-than-it-has-to-be casing. If you think you're up to the task of building your own, you can find all the details you need an plenty of pics to guide you on your way by hitting up the read link below.

Ubisoft is giving away access codes for a multiplayer "VIP" demo of Tom Clancy's EndWar on 360 to those who pre-order at Gamestation - but it's only for 360 owners.

As Ubi explains: "The pre-launch VIP demo will feature multiplayer functionality and serve as a final stress test for the online systems of the massive war game, allowing fans to get a taste of EndWar's voice command enabled strategy prior to its release."

A spokesperson told us that the firm has no plans to do the same for PS3 owners.

"The VIP demo is 360-exclusive," a Ubisoft spokesperson told us. The possibility of a future offline demo for PS3, although unlikely, wasn't ruled out.

The demo kicks off on Xbox 360 in early October. ...

Q Entertainment has unveiled Meteos Wars for Xbox Live Arcade, due out this October for 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60).

Meteos Wars is a puzzle game and a descendant of Meteos for the DS, where columns of alien symbols descend from the ceiling and you have to move individual blocks to create vertical or horizontal lines of three or more.

The twist is that once lines are formed, the blocks don't disappear but act as a rocket, which fires them and the blocks above them upwards. Making additional lines nearby or within the same column accelerates the column's flight, and once it's gone from the top of the screen, it's gone.

If its ascent is arrested, however, it slowly tumbles back to the ground and forces you to try and prop it back up. As the player moves between planets, he or she encounters new alien symbol sets and different gravitational conditions, which changes the gameplay dynamic considerably.

The DS version used the stylus for control, but judging by the first Meteos Wars screenshots, players will use a d-pad or analogue stick-controlled cursor to manoeuvre blocks on Xbox Live Arcade.

The game's also had a facelift, according to Q, and picked up some new special moves and game modes. The moves are called Planet Impact attacks (Armageddon, Gambit, Sentinel and Tempest - sounds more like the Waitrose version of the Four Horsemen to us but never mind), while modes are Mission, Attack Mode (with one-minute, 100-Meteo and Challenge sub-modes) and Versus. The latter allows you to play two-player games locally or over Xbox Live.

Throughout it all, you'll find your way to more than 20 planets, and there will be all sorts of accessories to collect.

Back on the DS, we gave the original 9/10 in our Meteos review, despite some concerns about "scrubbing" - mashing the DS stylus across the screen to randomly line up blocks - which presumably won't be a problem on Xbox Live.

What might be, however, is speed of navigating a cursor across blocky, moving puzzle terrain, and it will be interesting to see whether Meteos' brilliant gameplay shines past the new interface layer.

Q Entertainment must think it does though, or else we wouldn't be here. Look out for Meteos Wars in October, when it will hopefully continue XBLA's fine run of recent releases - Braid, Bionic Commando Rearmed, Galaga Legions and Castle Crashers. ...
