Got to be Nerf Now. Death to glittery emopires!

Goodbye Eidos, hello Square Enix Europe

Eidos Montreal will shortly become geographer's nightmare. Is it Europe or is it Quebec? We don't really know.

Zune HD does games: Project Gotham Racing, Audiosurf 'in November'

Sep 15th 2009 1:33PM on Joystiq

That's likely to never happen I'm afraid. UK and Europe has nada in terms of HD Radio, and the cost to swap that out in favour of one or both flavours of digital radio in Europe (DAB or DRM) would be too much. Sure they could sell the Zune as just a portable media player, but they'd be doing that now if they wanted to.

You used to be able to find these, the non-ticket variety mind, in seaside arcades up and down the British coast. Whether you can now I've no idea since it's been so long since I've visited one of those arcades.

Count me out of the prize guys, I'm in the UK :(

Steam offers 75% discount on indie games this weekend

Unfortunately no, which is a pity as I've got five from the 10 pack already and I really don't want to have to buy Darwinia again for a fourth time. Now if gifting was available across the board instead of just for Valve titles I may have been tempted and wouldn't feel like I'm wasting half my money.

Team 17 announces Alien Breed Evolution, teases imminent iPhone Worms

Jul 9th 2009 1:01PM on Joystiq

Woo new Alien Breed! Was a little worried when it said Unreal Engine 3 though, I half thought they were doing a third Breed 3D game, but that screenshot is reassuring that it'll be in the Classic/Tower Assault style.

Breed 3D was ok but AB3D2 was just plain awful, and either have aged well.

NintendoWare Weekly: Bit.Trip: Core becomes 100th WiiWare game

Here's a copy of the reply I got from Nintendo Europe when I asked them that same question shortly after Art Style Code landed in Europe back in April:

I’m afraid the decision to include a left handed mode in any downloadable application is a decision made by the developer of any particular title. Unfortunately, in this case, there was no decision to include a left handed mode in this game. It is possible that an update may be provided to include this functionality, but there is no details on this.

NintendoWare Weekly: Bit.Trip: Core becomes 100th WiiWare game

Puzzle Bobble/Bust-A-Move Plus's DLC packs were 200 points each in Europe, so I'd imagine it's the same price in the States.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
