Nintendo's "Mature" Card Series coming to America. Find out more inside...

Yes folks, Nintendo's more "mature" collect and trade GBC title, called "Cardhero," will indeed see a US launch. Meant to appease older players with its fast, furious premise, and evoking pure, undiluted strategy rather than simple overpowerment, Cardhero could very well equal Pokemon's success in...

Looks like the producer of Quake 3 is headed for Austin.

Thanks to Wes for sending this to me. I'm surprised I didn't find this myself, seeing is I am a total Quake CTF (Capture the Flag)freak. If you've ever played the original Quake Threewave CTF, and loved it, you must thank it's producer, David "Zoid" Kirsch. Well Zoid has basically been the man over... Read more...
