It’s no different at Mixr High. Only, we’re not saying goodbye to you — nor are we an actual high school. We’re also probably won’t go to prom with you if you ask us. (We’ll sign your yearbooks though.) We just want you to have a Memorable May with Mixr. More »

From Girlybubble: When it comes to options for decorating my new Nintendo DS Lite, my head spins. Literally. There’s the deco option — deco is the Japanese word for decorating things with a glue gun. There’s also stickers, skins, charms and you can even swap the original stylus for something that’s cuter. Currently, I’m considering the deco option but of course, that involves a glue gun: More »

In 2009, overall video game sales revenues declined from by $1.1 billion down to $9.9 billion total, but Apple’s share quintupled from 1% to 5%. In the portable gaming breakdown (where it really matters to Apple), Apple’s surge is even more dramatic: from 5% in 2008 to 19% last year. More »

From Ningin: For most of us here, this week has been epic for the release of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy XIII. I’m not even much of a gamer and I know this much. I also know that despite the title, FF XIII is more fantasy than it is final. This week we’d like to make your fantasy come true by giving away a copy of Final Fantasy XIII. More »

I’m going to wholeheartedly admit that I did, at one time, play Farmville. But that’s not all.

The package is a collaboration between Sony and American fashion designer Jill Stuart.

From Wirebot:

I have sat back and watched the Console Wars go on for quite a long time. Not just the nextgen Console Wars but wars that erupted ever since there became more than one system on the scene. Fanboys and Fangirls might be offended by this article because I won’t be giving their specific system of choice the tender loving care it deserves. I could drag on for hours and hours about which system does what and weigh the checks and balances and formulate an opinion on what system you should buy based off of those findings but I’m not going to. What I’m going to do is try to open everyone’s eyes to something I discovered a long time ago. More »

As I was walking out of the mail room yesterday, having just received my long awaited package, a friend of mine asks what I had gotten. I candidly replied that it was a Nintendo DS Lite. She rolled her eyes and replied, “Aren’t you a little old for video games?” Later that night, I thought about it. Can you ever be too old for video games? More »
