New Super Mario Bro Wii Review

I'm so ready to get this. Maybe because I've played Mario from the beginning. Maybe because it's just awesome.

Command and Conquer

I just found this video of the iPhone with it's own version of Command and Conquer.

The iPhone is coming so far in providing a handheld phone that can match the gaming of the Nintendo DS and the PSP. It's not quite there yet, but this shows that it's limitations are small.

I'd love to see Age of Empires II on the iPhone. That would be great.

Go to StarCraft class

StarCraftWire.net

StarCraftWire.net

I thought that this was great for all of those people who wished that gaming would become more than just something kids did at home instead of homework.

What if it WAS your homework??

Take a look at this article and this article about the college course started for the PC game, StarCraft.

Aside from sounding great, one comment may shed a little light on the reality of a gamer's dream.

Aeralindor states,

As someone who has taken these DECal courses (Democratic Education in Cal) before, it's not a "real" class. It's run by students and while you do get credit, it's general education credit (usually 1-2 units) and it's basically used as filler. I'll admit that two of the most interesting classes I took while I was a student at Cal (Fencing and History of Punk Rock) were DECals, they aren't taught by professors or even graduate students, and I wouldn't consider it an "offical" class.

That all being said, those taking the class should have a great time for those 1-2 units they're getting :)
