Race In The CityEver wanted to go on The Amazing Race, but didn’t think you could make the cut? Or perhaps frustrated because of their overly strict requirements?

Well Toronto’s “Race In The City“, presented by some avid Scrabble players, may offer you the fix you need. Director Heather McCall blogs about the available spots in the 2006 season, which includes various themed editions all summer long.

Spore

Saturday, April 15th, 2006

SporeThe co-founder of Maxis, Will Wright, has been working on a new game ever since the last release of The Sims. He’s calling it Spore, and people are talking about it quite excitedly. It won the Games Critics Award for Best of Show and Best Original Game in 2005.

Electronic Arts is looking to break out of its franchise-laden portfolio with this game. Even though the demo last year was just a prototype, and not much has been shown this year, the development team has demonstrated their ability to innovate.

If you haven’t seen it already, watch Will Wright give a demo of the game play. Even better is the full presentation. Or go to the official game page to see what little information they have available.

It is currently scheduled to come out in Fall 2006 for Windows PCs, and will be coming out for the DS, PSP and mobile phones as well.

Rumors are flying around the internet these days, like pancakes fly around an IHOP. Nintendo’s next console system, currently code-named Revolution, is scheduled for release sometime this year. Although no official name for the new system has been released, several pictures were found showing a logo along with the words, “Nintendo Go”.

It’s important to note that Go is a Japanease word for Five making it a somewhat clever pun. It could also potentially stand for Gaming Online.
