Assorted Mushrooms

1. Newsbit: It seems that the role of Cover Girl in the GI Joe movie may have been cast, and if true, then it seems to be a matter of life imitating art.

2. Newsbit: Props to Cheap Ass Gamer for their new campaign to donate games to the troops in Iraq.
3. Newsbit: Want to go to WWE WrestleMania 24? How good are you at Smackdown vs. Raw 2008?

   Speaking of which, the franchise earned over one billion dollars over the holidays.

4. Newsbit: First 4 Figures, makers of statues based on The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, TransFormers, and more, now has the license to Sonic the Hedgehog. And they aren’t going with the post-Adventure style, but rather are adopting the original oldschool designs.

7. Newsbit: Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection has officially been announced for a US release, but regretably, will be lacking in many features of its Japanese counterpart.

8. Newsbit: Coming soon to Xbox Originals: Sid Meier’s Pirates, Black, and Ninja Gaiden Black. Pirates vs. Ninjas, anyone?
9. Newsbit: Grr… snarl… rip… tear… still no No More Heroes in Canada…
10. Newsbit: Drawn to Life on Wii? That’d be cool… I still haven’t even gotten to play the DS version yet, though.
11. Newsbit: The new Famitsu shows off more of who we’ll see in Street Fighter IV.
