SEGA has announced its next big game for the DS, but surprisingly it's not Sonic Rush 2 or Rub Rabbits 3. Instead the veteran Japanese publisher is focusing its efforts on the classic British pub game, darts.
Developed by Full Fat, Touch Darts features cartoon-style graphics and a host of game modes, including individual dart competitions, various multiplayer options and a handful of darts mini-games.
However, what's special about the game is that it uses the touchscreen to accurately simulate throwing a dart. Indeed, you aim and throw a precision arrow by stroking the stylus along the bottom screen.
"SEGA Presents Touch Darts is a great fit for the DS," said Gary Knight, European marketing director at SEGA. "The touchscreen, the multiplayer options, the innovative gameplay and the great mini-games make it a fantastic addition to anyone's DS collection."

Shinji Mikami was one of the main creative forces behind some of Capcom's biggest hits of the past decade, including Resident Evil, Dino Crisis and Devil May Cry. While he's chosen to keep quiet following Resident Evil 4, Famitsu managed to track him down and squeeze out some hints on upcoming projects.
After a few comments about his absence from the media spotlight (he even joked about how he probably ought to have done some PR for God Hand), Mikami was bold enough to offer an apology for Resident Evil 4 going multi-platform! He feels especially bad because he believes some went so far as to buy a GameCube just to play the game, only to find that it would be available for the PlayStation 2 as well.
Moving on to future plans, Mikami disclosed that he formed a private development studio called Straight Story in 2006 prior to Clover Studio's fall. The studio's name is taken from the 1999 David Lynch movie of the same name.
Mikami is also a contract employee (actually an "external board member") of SEEDS, an Osaka development company recently formed by a bunch of former Capcom stars, including Atsushi Inaba and Hideki Kamiya. Mikami revealed to Famitsu that in general, his future titles will carry the SEEDS branding. They will be published by an actual publishing company, although he did not give any indication that this would necessarily be Capcom.
After much joking around, the Famitsu editors eventually got Mikami to admit that he has started actual development on possibly multiple game projects. However, don't expect anything from him for quite some time, possibly not until after 2008!
Mikami is also continuing work on a previously announced project with Grasshopper Interactive's Suda 51, known for the bizarre Killer 7 and the upcoming No More Heroes on the Wii. He expects to be able to show something this summer.
Just to clear things up, Mikami isn't one of those old-school developers who's moved on to the production side of things, separating himself from actual game creation. In his closing comments to Famitsu, Mikami said that he's done the producer thing, but now he plans on being mainly a director. Given the guy's rap sheet, we can't wait to see what he thinks up next. ...by Published on April 5th, 2007 23:51
Two major UK retailers have cut the price of the PlayStation 3 less than two weeks after the launch of the console. WH Smith and Play.com have slashed the price of the machine from £424.99 to £399.99.
WH Smith advertised the drop in The Sun newspaper, no doubt to catch the attention of parents looking to get their kids something a bit more special than a chocolate egg this Easter. Whereas, Play.com is offering the console for the same price but is also throwing in an HDMI cable and a copy of Click on Blu-ray.
At the time of writing no other retailers have folowed suit, although many are expected to. And while WH Smith's offer is scheduled to end on April 19, Play.com is offering the console for £399.99 for the forseable future.
Additionally, tomorrow - Good Friday - the console price craziness is set to continue, with Play.com telling us that it's planning to offer the Core Xbox 360 for just £149.99 - £50 lower than the RRP - and is dropping the price of the Premium Xbox 360 from £279.99 to £249.99. You'll have to be quick though because the offer only lasts until April 10 and stock is likely to be extremely limited.

Koch Media announced today that it had struck a deal with Black Bean Games to develop another historical battle simulation in the form of The History Channel: Great Battles of Rome.
Players will step in the boots of a Roman legionnaire and lead a series of campaigns against Barbarian hordes and rival states. Players will be able to fully experience the building of one of history's greatest Empires.

A.A. van Zoelen has released his GPS App for the Nintendo DS:
Heres Some Screens:
SPREAD THE NEWS
Version 1.3
This version works with a filesystem.
This means that the maps can be added later. This gives me a lot of freedom. Besides that this version has already a few improvements such as manual scrollable maps. The program also detects if there is a DSerial card installed. If one is found things work normal. If not then DS-GPS goes into demo mode.
Heres whats new
Scrollable map
Default zoom setting
‘No Image’ display when no map available
Independent filesystem for maps up to 12 zoomlevels
Corrected UTC display
‘Freeze’ map option
