Finally! The
Heroes moment we have all been waiting for! Save the cheerleader. Save the world. I still think it sounds kind of dumb, and really, we all are going to die anyway. In the grand scheme of things, how bad would it be if Sylar was running the world? We are sort of overdue for a mass extinction on a grand scale anyway, so why should it bother me if it comes by way of meteor, nuclear holocaust, ice age, or Sylar? In fact, what if the planet is taken over by billions of alien gerbils from Neptune? We'd be kicking ourselves for not letting Sylar do his things. However, besides being Tom Cruise's apocalyptic fantasy, there is nothing about that sort of close encounter that should prevent us from enjoying the greatest show on television.

We recently caught wind of
the Zeebo, a new 3G network-based gaming console that's supposedly launching soon in Brazil. Details were pretty hard to come by initially, but now we've gotten some more solid information on the upstart system. It turns out that manufacturer Tectoy is partnering up with cellular carrier Claro, whose 3G network will enable the system to have a constant, free-of-charge connection -- and Qualcomm, which holds a 43 percent ownership in the company. As far as specs are concerned, the Zeebo will apparently run on a BREW-based OS and house an ARM CPU running at 528MHz, with a Qualcomm Adreno 130 graphics core (?), 1GB NAND flash memory, 160MB RAM, 128MB DDR SDRAM and 32MB stacked DDR SDRAM. Marketed to the "growing middle class" of developing countries, the Zeebo will launch in Brazil, where its developers say the downloadable-content format should help combat rampant piracy. The cost of the system is expected to be 599BRL (about $264) with games costing between 7-30BRL (around $3-13). Hit the read links for more details.

Just as Ziff-Davis and Microsoft's trembling lips meet for the long, slow kiss that is
Games for Windows: The Official Magazine, Ziff and Sony are, like, totally breaking up. They say it's mutual, that all relationships must end ... but we all know who's really to blame. It's that ne'er-do-well demo disc, that's who!
With the steady erosion of print readership and the growth of online outlets (like Sony's own
ThreeSpeech project who, curiously, keep cribbing from
OPM) it's no wonder they've reconsidered their commitment to the world of dead-tree gaming journalism. Coupled with their (about to launch) PlayStation Network, capable of delivering videos and demos -- the very same videos and demos that used to come bundled on DVD with every issue
of OPM -- the gimmick has dried up.
Increasingly, print magazines rely on these gimmicks to provide extra incentive to read all the gaming news you already read online 3 weeks ago.
Game Informer has that infinitely valuable shelf space at the nation's largest gaming retailer while
Computer Gaming World had to reevaluate and become
Games For Windows. What's curious is why Microsoft not only doesn't see Xbox Live as the final nail in
Official Xbox Magazine's proverbial coffin, but they use the magazine to distribute exclusive demos, weeks before they hit Live (see:
Rainbow Six Vegas). Maybe, with a
60% attach rate for Xbox Live, they realize there's still plenty of offline 360 gamers who can't get their demos from Live.
