1. Evidently, Gabe Newell (no, not the Penny Arcade guy, if that’s who you’re thinking) allegedly had some unkind words to say about Sony’s latest console venture:

   “The PS3 is a total disaster on so many levels, I think It’s really clear that Sony lost track of what customers and what developers wanted. I’d say, even at this late date, they should just cancel it and do a “do over”. Just say, “This was a horrible disaster and we’re sorry and we’re going to stop selling this and stop trying to convince people to develop for it”.

   The happy story is the Wii. I’m betting that by Christmas of next year, Nintendo Wii has a larger installed base than the 360. Other people think I’m crazy. I really like everything that Nintendo is doing.”

2. Following up past entries in their “Games of 2007″ series, Next Generation now takes a look at what the future holds for the Nintendo DS.
3. Evil Avatar reports that a Mercury developer sees more potential in the Wii remote than what we’ve currently experienced.
4. Interesting, this.

   Go Nintendo reports that WiiNintendo.net’s Wii Sports experiment was apparently a success!

   It may not be a “Jenny Craig supplement,” but it seems to do the trick well enough.

5. There really is nothing to add, is there?
6. Wired’s Clive Thompson decides to see for himself what all the hub-bub is about Super Columbine Massacre RPG.
7. Over at Joystiq, the flaws in Jack Thompson’s “cut shipments of games if retailers sell to under 17″ plan are dissected and examined.
8. When worlds collide…

   Mega 64, sort of a video game-based Tom Green Show or Jackass (and I mean that in the kindest, most respectful way it can be) attempt to recreate Capcom’s Dead Rising at a local mall.

   Sadly, the game ends with some 70+ hours left. Maybe next time.

9. To me, the most bizarre thing about this light-up 24-UMD holder is that it’s not one of those creations by some bored customizer, but an actual manufactured product to be sold at retail.
10. Scott Sharkey takes us on a whirlwind tour of the ten events of last year which made us all simply say…
    
    “WTF!?”
