Lionhead announces Peter Molyneux's Universe.
Today, Peter Molyneux announced the development of what he promises will be a revolutionary new experience for the PC, Xbox360 and PS3. Described as an action adventure RPG, with shoot'em'up, racing, point and click, rhythm action, first-person shooting and platforming elements, wrapped up in one of the finest stories ever to grace videogaming, Universe is said to offer the player an entire 8,000000000000000000 galaxies to explore, and 3,00000000 NPCs to interact with. Molyneux states the AI featured in Universe will be the most advanced yet created in a game, and be able to independantly react to the player's in-game chatter, cook tea, wash the dishes and make the bed. All outside of the screen.
Lionhead expects the game to ship later this year in the summer.

2010. Miyamoto and the Banjo Boys.
After resigning from Nintendo following the recent failure of the Nintendo Revolution, Shigeru Miyamoto has decided to reinvent himself as a pop star. Times have been tough for the ailing designer since he cast himself back out on to the streets to play the banjo, his first love, after watching Zelda: The Hand Wanderer plummet Nintendo into controversy with US gaming law. Following his failings at auditions for the Japanese version of Pop Idol, he released a hit single "Be my Banjo Boy" with help from a few of his ex-collegues, which has resultingly stormed the Japanese charts over the past few days. Similar success in the US is expected to follow with the imminent release of the single Stateside, and now Mr. Miyamoto is looking forward to his tour of Europe, teaming up with Will Young for a UK rendition of the aformentioned "Be my Banjo Boy, you poop scoop a doop."

E3. 2008. Gamespot.
Jack Thompson today won the game critics newly announced designer of the year award for his input into Rockstar's latest Opus, "Kill me a videogame publisher". Pleased to accept the award, Thompson declared the success of his vision and the resulting financial rewards has helped him see sense on the benefits which videogames can have on the younger generation of players today. Unforunately, a recent shooting in Los Angles involving two assailants and the police has been linked to the game in question, after a copy was found at one of the suspect's house. A law suit has currently been filed against Thompson for the ideas incorporated into his game product, leading to outrage amongst the public.
