ELSPA has awarded Modern Warfare 2 its highest accolade in the form of a diamond sales award.
The Xbox 360 version of the game has become just the 16th to receive the award, which is given to games selling over one million in the UK.
Modern Warfare 2 remained at the top of the all-formats chart for a third week this week, and its first week sales totalled over 1.7 million units.
While the 360 game has sold over one million since release, triggering the diamond award, the PlayStation 3 game has been given a double platinum award for sales of over 600,000.
Other games that share the diamond award include Dr Kawashima's Brain Training, New Super Mario Bros, Wii Play, Mario Kart Wii and Halo 3, as well as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on Xbox 360.

Tantric has released a new version of the Snes Emulator for Nintendo Wii
heres the release notes:
Snes9x GX is a Super Nintendo™ / Super Famicom emulator for the Nintendo Wii.
Snes9x GX is a port of Snes9x 1.51 (http://snes9x.ipherswipsite.com). It was
originally ported by SoftDev for the GameCube, and has been worked on by
various authors. Development has since moved to the Wii, and the project is
currently being maintained by Tantric and michniewski.
Snes9x GX is a "homebrew application" which means you will need a way to run
unsigned code on your Nintendo Wii. The best website for getting started with
Wii homebrew is WiiBrew (www.wiibrew.org).

Dop-IOS MOD updated to 9.0 by Arikado
Dop-IOS MOD is a modification of the application Dop-IOS that allows you to choose which IOS you would like to use to install other IOSs (with the trucha bug if you like), channels, and system menus. It also allows you to install a patched IOS 36 to use to install fakesigned content if you don't have any other usable IOSs like Trucha Bug Restorer does.
Changelog
v9.0
Fixed a small bug causing the improper version of an IOS to be displayed after it was updated
Added automatic region detection
Added code from Trucha Bug Restorer so you can go through a short process to install an IOS (IOS 36) that accepts fakesigning if you need one

Nintendo's says it will investigate possible copyright infringement in Nokia's N900 smartphone after a Nokia blog post showcased the device playing retro games through the use of an emulator application. According to Edge, the video (which is no longer available) featured someone playing Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 3, and also showed off buttons that supposedly opened emulators for Nintendo's Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, NES and SNES.
Nintendo UK PR manager Robert Saunders told Edge the company was unaware of the smartphone's emulation feature and stated that Nintendo would take "rigorous steps" to protect its intellectual property. "Our legal team will examine this to determine if any infringement has taken place," Saunders added. Even if the feature ends up on the cutting room floor, we imagine some crafty hackers are already taking steps to get emulation software working on the Nokia device. Just like they do with everything else.

Media Molecule will roll a LittleBigPlanet patch called Leedrammer out today that adds, among other things, four-player online cooperative map-making! Until now, only two could work together on new stages.
Leedrammer also brings location-based matchmaking and a faster, improved save system that backs-up profiles and levels (hooray!). There's twice as much space for photos and costumes on the Popit menu too.
Head over to the Media Molecule website for a roundup of the smaller changes as well as a video walkthrough of the Leadrammer update.
LittleBigPlanet was released last autumn, and those new to PS3 ought to consider picking a now discounted (Platinum Hits) version of the game. It was Eurogamer's Game of the Year 2008, after all.

Not (un)lucky enough to attend the man-filled E3 expo in Los Angeles next year? Well according to an online survey all the games, sounds and huge ankle blisters of the annual event will soon be making their way to Xbox Live (well, maybe not the last one)
The online survery asks you to imagine "that interactive, online versions of E3, BlizzCon, GamesCon, ComicCon and every other major video game convention were made available through Xbox Live."
The questionnaire explains that the "Virtual Video Game Convention Service" would be free on Xbox Live and let players party up with mates and walk around a virtual show floor using their Avatar.
Booths from all the major gaming companies would be included, it says, and participants could check out videos, trailers, developer interviews and even game demos and betas if they were available. Keynote addresses would also be streamed live.
Now, all MS has left to do is find a way to teleport booth babes, free lanyards and copious amounts of beer into your living room and the E3 experience is nearly complete.
