Vertu's "Strawberry" and "Cream" Ascents
Frankly, we're not sure who's still buying the Vertu Ascent. Contrary to what Vertu might think, its handsets aren't timeless -- as technology plods ever forward, so must the world's phones. Alas, the company is seeing fit to roll out yet another batch of special editions of its most "mainstream" (we use that term very loosely here) model. "Strawberry" and "Cream," as one might expect, are pink and white respectively and feature perforated leather on their rears to roughly approximate the texture of a strawberry. Of course, it takes a very special kind of "rich" to afford a Vertu, so maybe existing owners are snatching these things up and putting them into some sort of ornate, wooden storage box, never to be used or seen again. To you folks, look for these newest models to grace your Vertu retailer come June.[Thanks, James]
More details on Cookie & Cream DS
Even though The Adventures of Cookie & Cream was originally on the PS2, it's always been a DS game at heart. Seriously-- it's a split-screen puzzle game (even in single-player mode!) If only there were some kind of console out there that had... two screens! Really, it's a shame there was no DS to release it on back in 2001.When we heard the news that a Cookie & Cream game was coming to the DS (dropping the Adventures from the title,) we got a little excited, but we still wondered: would this be a new game or a port? From the short description, we are guessing "new game." Previously, players were charged with controlling two characters simultaneously through similar courses, but in this one, platforming action is on the top screen, while the touch screen is used in varying ways to clear obstacles. We might be the only people in the world who admired the "two games at once" gameplay of Dig Dug: Digging Strike. Despite that, we hope there are like-minded individuals out there anticipating this game.[Via GameSetWatch]
