The Nintendo Wii press conference is underway and they have just confirmed Animal Crossing is indeed coming to the Wii. Nintendo also unveils a new peripheral as well called Wii-speak.

There have been phallic creatures created in Spore and I’m fairly sure that’s not what EA had in mind when it released the Creature Creator.  Here is something a little more constructive.  Someone has gone and created aliens from the Half Life series in the Creature Creator.

I spent some time with EA’s Spore Creature Creator over the weekend and I have discovered it’s not that fun.  The idea behind it is that you can create your creature and then import it into Spore when it is released in September.  Besides creating your creature, there isn’t much to do in the creator.

Some of you maybe anticipating to get your hands on the demo of Battlefield Bad Company next week to determine if the game lives up to it’s hype. I recently had a chance to try the demo early courtesy of Xbox Solutions and the game doesn’t disappoint.

Recently several magazine outlets have reported news in their latest issues regarding Bioshock making its way onto the PS3. Now its been confirmed by 2K games themselves on this news.

Even though Microsoft just came off a great year in 2007 with the release of exclusive blockbuster titles such as Halo 3, Bioshock and Forza 2 they are now in a much weaker position more than ever this year. The future is starting to look a bit bleak for this console in face of stiff competition from the Wii and PS3.
