Scholastic Interactive is already well-known for high quality, award-winning games that educate and entertain children. Now, with the introduction of the Elastic label, the company is expanding its catalog to include more entertainment driven titles and broaden its reach to consumers. The titles under the new label will be published across all interactive platforms and will feature content based on Scholastic properties, such as Goosebumps, as well as other original and third-party licensed properties.
"We are delighted to be launching our new games label, Elastic, with Goosebumps. Goosebumps has a broad and enthusiastic global fan base who will be thrilled with our new games. What better way to deliver the thrills and chills of a Goosebumps experience than with a game that puts the player in the heart of HorrorLand," said Deborah Forte, President, Scholastic Media and Executive Vice President of Scholastic Inc.
Marking the brand's first foray into gaming consoles and handhelds, Goosebumps HorrorLand is an adventure game set in a fright-themed amusement park filled with over thirty thrilling rides and bone-chilling attractions. Sounds like fun - until players discover the scares are all too real and find themselves vanquishing vampires, hanging on for life on the Roller Ghoster and battling Certain Death. As players fiendishly try to escape the park, they will unravel a mystery, encounter a host of creepy horrors, monsters and mummies plus trademark Goosebumps twists and cliffhangers. Goosebumps HorrorLand will offer the suspense, pulse-pounding action, tension and humor that defines the franchise. Goosebumps HorrorLand, the video game, is set to make nightmares come to life on Wii (SRP $39.99), Nintendo DS (SRP $29.99), and Playstation 2 system (SRP $29.99) in October 2008.
For an exclusive peek at Goosebumps HorrorLand, go to www.GoosebumpsVideoGame.com or to YouTube to view the "No Ordinary Park" teaser trailer.
With more than 300 million books sold in 32 languages, Goosebumps is a global mega brand. Goosebumps HorrorLand is based on the new 12 book Scholastic series by R.L. Stine that launched in April to terrific sales and national press attention.

"With popular songs from today's top pop artists, PopStar Guitar is a game the whole family can enjoy. We've also created a dynamic new air guitar game play experience with our AirG peripheral for the Wii, allowing players to have a blast as they unleash their inner pop star."
PopStar Guitar features a single player Career Mode and two-player Co-operative Mode, along with single player and multi-player mini-games. The game takes the player on a musical journey that starts with forming a garage band to playing at 25 unique venues and eventually performing in the worldwide "Battle of the Bands" contest. Twelve playable characters are featured in the game and can be customized to give the band its own unique look. PopStar Guitar features over 50 pop songs, including several masters performed by the original artists.
Exclusively for the Wii, PopStar Guitar will come with the AirG, a peripheral that snaps onto the Wii Remote and turns the controller into an electrifying air guitar. For PlayStation 2 system players, PopStar Guitar will function with any PlayStation 2 system compatible guitar peripheral.

Online retailer Play.com has dropped the price of the 20GB Xbox 360 in the UK to GBP 169.99.
Rival store Amazon sells the 20GB console in the UK for GBP 179.99. Although Microsoft announced a price reduction of the 20GB unit in the US last week, there are currently no plans for a similar move in Europe.
A spokesperson for Microsoft has told VG247 that the deal is "nothing to do with us," but some industry watchers are now expecting a price cut to be announced at Game Convention in Leipzig this August, with the possible introduction of a 60GB unit to the market.
Yesterday, Signal Hill analyst Todd Greenwald said that he remained sceptical of Microsoft's pricing strategy, and that the "Xbox 360 needs a real price cut". ...by Published on July 22nd, 2008 20:28
JF otherwise known as ChillyWilly and as JLF65 on DCEmu, hey and even i got confused last night when JLF65 remarked on the emu here at DCEmu :P
Anyway heres the official release package which is the same as test 20 but for guides etc:
The official release of Basilisk II for the PSP is here! Features include:
Emulates a Mac II series machine running OS 7.0.1 through 8.1, depending on the ROM used.
Uses UAE CPU emulation, with new SoftFloat FPU emulation for better compatibility.
The PSP memstick can be mounted on the Mac desktop (requires File Manager 1.2).
Supports on-the-fly change of colors and resolution (requires Display Manager).
Has stereo, 16-bit, 44kHz audio (requires Sound Manager 3.0).
Supports emulated floppy and CDROM with removable media (no CD audio yet).
Supports up to four hardfiles for use as fixed drives.
UDP tunnel for AppleTalk networking across WIFI (no general networking yet).
Emulates a Mac Extended ADB keyboard and mouse. Buttons can be remapped on-the-fly, and popular IR keyboards are supported on the Phat PSP.
Supports extra memory and TV out on the Slim PSP.
I made changes to the non-platform-specific code (particularly the FPU emulation), so I've bumped the version to 1.1. I'll probably make some changes and bug fixes later, so I'm calling this 1.1.0. Two main downloads for the binary and one of the source are available. The larger binary archive comes with a nice BIG guide, so I archived it with 7zip. If you don't know how to handle 7zip, google it.

"Hundred of thousands" of dangerous and unsafe Nintendo DS chargers could have made their way over to the UK, Trading Standards have warned.
The body is trying to recall the dodgy DS and DS Lite chargers, which officers say have been shipped over from China to UK shops in "vast numbers" and could cause electrocution.
Wires become detached from the plugs after being used, leading to a large risk of electric shocks. The pins don't fit properly in UK sockets either, causing overheating.
One of the chargers concerned has the code marking 'DE62347066', but others have no code and are simply called 'Travel Charger'.
Speaking to the BBC, Chris Holden, senior trading standards officer at Buckinghamshire County Council, said that the chargers are being sold for about £5 on the internet and about £6 in the shops. Safe chargers retail for around £15.
"The UK appears to be flooded with them," he said. "It probably runs into hundreds of thousands or even millions."
You've been warned: don't buy any cheapo DS chargers from the market. ...by Published on July 22nd, 2008 20:17
