4.New editions of the Godfather game are coming to the PS3 and Wii this March. PS3's will be The Don Edition while the Wii's will be Blackhand Edition.

5. It turns out the Sixaxis didn't win an emmy, it was in fact the dual shock that won an emmy. Well that's the same as the sixaxis, right? but... without... the shock.... LOL --Mark

6. Bungie has a new Halo 3 vehicle -Andy

7. While we're still on the topic of emmy winner Sony, it should also be noted that when the official list of winners went online, Nintendo has also won an emmy for the Wiimote. Console wars not just in retail stores, but in awards ceremonies as well. Maybe they'll make a movie, and they'll get an oscar for their emmy battle--Mark.

8. Epic squashes the rumors that GoW will be coming to a PC near you. The leaks that were going around were from anE3 demo they did two years ago. It was done on a PC using dual NVIDIA graphic cards to simulate the power of a 360 before there was a 360 to use.--andy

8.5 Burnout Dominator, set for the PSP and PS2, is the newest installment for the franchise. Nick Channon, the executive producer in an interview with IGN, revealed that future tracks would be downloadable. The only problem is that this is EA we're talking about. The same EA that charged $50.00 for cheat codes for need for speed.. will it be a free downloadable, or is it going to gouge our eyes out and make us shudder in eyeless-I-cannot-play-my-PSP-because-of-all-this-blood-and-the-fact-I-have-no-eyes-now terror? http://psp.ign.com/articles/753/753741p1.html --Mark.

10. Gametab has a video up for Bust-A-Move Blast for the Wii incluing 8 person multiplayer. Now if you've never played Bust-a-move, it is an addictive little puzzler; but with 8 player multiplayer crazy action; this is a game that will be an instant party hit.

11. Ubisoft will be selling a Prince of Persia trilogy pack in Europe on Feb 15. Andy
