Even better - S Club did a song called "Gangsta Love". Is there a more incongruous track/artist mix?

Loving the staccato woodwind in S Club 7's "Never Had a Dream Come True". Less so the synthy bass and faux American accents. Good song, mind

Europeans get to dive again on February 5th

You won't have to hold your breath too much longer for Nintendo's next dive 'em up, as Nintendo announce the game will see a release across Europe on February 5th, 2010. Promising new features over the acclaimed original, including Wii Speak support and a new Pulsar gun that sounds like it was made for multiplayer deathmatches, Endless Ocean 2: Adventures of the Deep should offer more of the same soothing oceanic investigation.

You can even step ashore onto dry land to encounter birds and other non-aquatic wildlife.
