Another day, another blog about Nintendogs. The puppy simulator is the review of the week in Technology and gets a five-star rating. The praise is high. Apparently Nintendogs "repay your (emotional) investment like nothing else in the history of videogames." Continuing the doggy theme we have an interview with Hideki Konno the producer of the game. Here we learn that he has a virtual boxer called Luigi and that the "bark" feature is popular in Japan. Er, right. Anyone else had enough of Nintendogs already? Back on firmer ground is our very own Aleks, with an interesting piece about the newly slimline Peter Jackson's involvement in the Halo movie. "At his beckon, a Halo phoenix should rise from the ashes of game-related cinema stinkers," she says. Let's just hope the movie involves more than the Master Chief shooting the same enemies in virtually indistinguishable corridors eh?
