Why can’t we get cool stuff like this?

Sounds like geocaching with a DS as your GPS unit… Interesting…

Most be another one of those violent video games, right? An Italian man who argued with his son over Sony PlayStation tactics was recovering in hospital on Monday after the teenager stabbed him in the neck with a 15-inch kitchen knife, police and hospital officials said. What was he playing? Grand Theft Auto IV? Modern Warfare 2? God of War? The man, identified as Fabrizio R., suffered a deep cut to the throat after his 16-year-old son, Mario, attacked him during an argument on Sunday over the soccer video game FIFA 2009. Huh. So it wasn't a violent video game that led to this violent outburst. My world view = shattered. —Tony [Comment]

Rockstar saw fit to release GTA: Chinatown Wars for the iPod Touch and iPhone over the weekend. Price: $10. —Nat [Comment]

Another weekend is upon us. This weekend may not present many opportunities to game for me, but when they do I'll be engrossed in Dragon Age. So far I like what I've seen and am looking forward to seeing a whole lot more. If I only get a moment or two for gaming it will probably be some Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer. I'd also like to get back to Borderlands, so that is always an option. What are you playing? —Tony [Comment]
