Survey reveals 7-year-old girls hooked on Nintendo DS, not Barbie
A new survey by the kids gift wish list web site Gogoblin.co.uk shows that a lot of young girls are no longer interested in the likes of Barbie – gaming technology is definitely the way to go if you want to remain a popular parent with your little darlings.
Boys tend to develop an interest in Gameboys and other hand held consoles from the age of four onwards, with girls latching onto the Nintendo DS by age seven.

Microsoft XNA competition for bedroom game developers
Once upon a time, ALL computer games were developed in people’s bedrooms, y’know. This was in the days before you needed a hundred-strong team and multimillion-pound budget to make a top game (although the downside was that instead of Lara Croft, our heroes were more likely to be cartoon eggs called Dizzy, or skiing blokes named Horace).

Enter Shikari partner with Xbox for Blue Dragon soundtrack
Not one to follow the music charts, when I heard Enter Shikari were working in partnership with Xbox, my initial reaction was “Enter what!?
