Who never wonder how games are made or think they can do better job if they have the opportunity ?

Maybe your time passed already but what about your children ? they said they are the future so let's give them one by enrolling them into this New York school for digital kids called Quest to Learn where they use "underlying design principles of games to create highly immersive, game-like learning experiences for students."

The requirement though is your kid need to be in 6th-12th grade.

For more info check Quest to Learn website.

Which game you played on handheld devices and really wished its developped for a next gen consoles?

For us here there tons but one we really want is the Ace Attorney Series ( Phoenix Wright ).

This game is unbelievable good and will be really great on a next gen console or PSP with some cool voices support.

Imagine hearing "Objection" and all the court room blah blah blah.

Capcom please just throw one to the big boys.

According to this news Nintendo failed to conquer Russia despite ruling every other territory they launched in.

Inna Bukatina GFI's head of international licensing and acquisition list the reasons:

-  "Firstly people in Russia prefer products that are more universal, that can be used for a number of different purposes...But the Wii is only for games, and for very specific kinds of games...

-  The gaming society in Russia is pretty young...

-  I know that in other parts of Europe, older age ranges are playing these games, but in Russia they don't know what to do with it ...

Last week we report the problem Wii can get you into with intense playthrough, guess what, this week is all about how good Wii with Wii Fit can get you.

Seacroft Hospital in Leeds England has been using Wii with Wii Fit to help patients as a rehabilitation and physical therapy.

Who would thought games can be that helpfull in life while back ?

• "Hirst, Crossland's physiotherapist, states that the Wii Fit therapy has been "absolutely fantastic" for Crossland and all of her other patients. Being the first institute in the country to adopt the system, Hirst hopes that others will follow suit with similar programs"

In an interview Gametrailers made with level 5 CEO about this beautiful game has to offer, we learn few things very important to us gamers outside Japan:

• The game will be lunched in US but no ETA yet
• Can players from US play against players from Japan hasn't been decided yet

Watch interview below:

In the US the only way to get hand on killzone demo before retail date is by pre-ordering from GameStop Stores, but Sony revealed the demo will be released as normal in Europe meaning no string attached or pre-ordering from this or that .

The game is due 27 february in the US, no date for Europe yet but rumors saying 25th february.

Update!

Sony confirmed it now so EU date is 25th and US 27th.

Playstation 3 is synonym of jrpg but lately Xbox 360 is getting some great titles and we started to wonder what's going on, although we like it as this giving us more reason to keep on playing on it.

Atlus Magna Carta sequel seems to be heading to the land of the green X and we are very happy.

We hope to see more and check this old video of the ps2 version gameplay, some didn't like the battle system though.

Below is the list of Capcom European upcoming releases for 2009 first half as been confirmed by press release.

Our best JRPG of 2008 Sega's Valkyria Chronicles will be release again

in March this year in Japan as part of ‘The Best’ range.

This re-release will include the extra mission(Edie Nelson mission) which

is right now available only in Japan via download.

The game didn't perform well in our side of the continent but hopefully

this release with the extra mission might just be the seller.

But we are still wondering though about those with the game already and want just the extra mission and what about us non .jp ?
