Nintendo launched a MarioKart DS site, filled with lots of …. well, nothing. Well, not nothing, but not much. They have some screenshots, and a couple of wallpapers. For now, anyway.

Today I went out to get an early copy of City of Villains (my precioussss), and got some information at the game store. The guys said France was getting 60,000 Xbox 360’s, and advised strongly that people pre-order the console. They also said they sampled the 360 and that once we tried it, we’d know […]

First came the leaked details, and now Blizzard has announced the official ones.
