Demand surprisingly high
Although there are no hard figures for how many units PlayStation Move has sold in its first weeks on sale, US analyst Lazard Capital Markets believes the accessory is off to a great start.
Catch the psychic one at last
Remember when you first played Pokémon and your friend showed you the amazingly rare Mew, Pokémon #151 when 150 was a big deal? Now you can relive those glorious days again in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver as you'll be able to catch the cutesy Psychic-type monster from Friday.
Two player 2D action on the way
Wii's Sonic Colours (or Sonic Colors if you're of that persuasion) is set to feature a multiplayer game where two hedgehog fans can team up to overcome specially-designed levels. But why do the characters have antennae on their heads? They're part of Dr Eggman's Sonic Simulator, of course.
Shot in LA, features exercise
You could normally play bingo with developer behind-the-scenes videos: toys on programmers' desks, kitschy movie posters, phrases like "the most advanced game of its type". So it's very refreshing to see the first Making Of video for Get Fit with Mel B throw all that stuff out of the window and show an Italian camera crew filming an ex-popstar from Yorkshire doing abdominal crunches in a Los Angeles apartment.

The Wii is powered by IBM's custom "Broadway" CPU along with ATI's "Hollywood" GPU, but what of the inevitable Wii successor – what silicon army might power its architecture? MCV has suggested it could be IBM's mighty Cell processor.
Wherever you go in the world at the moment, it seems you're never more than thirty miles from a Sony event showing off Killzone 3. So far it's visited Dublin, Seattle and London, and now it's taking in Washington DC with a presence at the Major League Gaming Pro Circuit Event this weekend.
Lightcycles and teasing
TRON: Evolution is, in Disney's eyes, the official follow-up to the original Tron, so it's putting a lot into getting its combination of racing and combat just right, including PlayStation Move support. Unfortunately details on how the controller will be used have been thin on the ground, but a recent preview event shed just a little light on how Move will work.
Go on, give me a chance :P RT @MCVonline: 30 Under 30: Last chance to nominate http://bit.ly/9hZDXz
Wii gets leaderboards too
We knew that Sonic Colours Wii is going to feature cooperative multiplayer, but an IGN interview with Sonic Team lord Takashi Iizuka has revealed the DS version will also feature multiplayer, either through local wireless play or online via Nintendo WiFi Connection.
