Needs more polish
The 3DS eShop, one of the console's most anticipated functions, won't be available until May, and Nintendo's hardware head honcho Hideki Konno wants to assure you it's for a good reason: so it's good.

Top Spin 4 has landed and made quite an impact, but had it arrived with this advertising campaign from 2K its reception might have been very different.
Finally got around to starting Beyond Good and Evil HD last night. Still one of the best things ever.

A trout time
Ahh, the relaxing pastime of taking a boat out from the shore, settling for a nice quiet spot and then trying to snag a fish's lips on a hook before wrestling it out of its habitat and into a boat. The humane way to do things is in the virtual world of course, and although Rapala Pro Bass Fishing has already had a go at recreating the sport, superstar fisherman Kevin Van Dam is about to get his own Move-enabled vehicle.
Balls in your court
Motion controllers and tennis games have seemed the perfect match ever since Wii Sports put a plastic Remote in your hand and told you to be Roger Federer. Regrettably, since then, few titles — if any — have come close to matching Nintendo's pack-in when it comes to intuitive controls and the all-important fun factor: EA's Grand Slam Tennis on Wii used MotionPlus to offer 1:1 controller tracking, but didn't win over everyone with its cartoon-styled characters. Sega's Virtua Tennis 2009 on Wii also used the motion-enhancing add-on but didn't go for 1:1 control, a disappointment considering the controller's capabilities. Regrettably, Top Spin 4 mimics the latter in the control stakes, resulting in a disappointing tennis experience.
Happiness comes second
Forget all the dancing talent in the world: Microsoft's Spring dance-off to celebrate Dance Central decided instead to feature two terrible dancers in an effort to prove anybody can dance. Predictably the results didn't exactly prove a fitting accompaniment to Sister Sledge hit He's the Greatest Dancer.
It's Monday which can only mean one thing: awesome food. Today I'm making beef in red wine pie. Should be delicious!
