All, Robot Punch
For this installment of Robot Punch!, we get a little soapbox ranting on the current state of consumer ownership rights by way of the hottest new game, Scribblenauts.
Have you ever read the end user agreement on any game that you buy? Of course not! Who has time to read through legal mumbo-jumbo when you gotta get your game on! I took a look at the EULA of my copy of Scribblenauts and was appalled by what I found…

Nintendo DS, Technology
Here’s a strange piece of advice for the hardcore gamers out there: Buy a Game Boy Advance. I don’t mean the SP model or even the Micro. I’m talking about the first-wave GBAs that you need to rest the sun on your shoulder in order to see its screen. You may ask, “Why would I want that old & busted thing? I have a DS, which is 100x better!” The DS truly is a technological marvel; however today’s portable devices suffer from one flaw detrimental to our long-term gaming experience: Their battery.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Celebrities are the newest form of marketing for the Nintendo DS! Surprised? Me neither, really. The question is, though, will this new strategy of bringing celebrities into the loop be viewed as a blessing or a curse for the legendary video game company?
