Here's a look at it with the trailer.
Wii Rule the World
Nintendo's got a new toy for the Nintendo Wii - Wii Speak. It's a mic you stick on top of your Wii and it lets you speak out of your Mee - letting you chat online. So, if you have a far away friend but your Miis can hook up, its like a free long-distance phone call! This is arriving on November 16 for $30.
Go Wylde With Guitar Hero

Puzzle Solvin' Brothers
The classic mystery solving brothers, the Hardy Boys, are taking another big step! HER Interactive (the folks that make the Nancy Drew games) and SEGA are teaming up to bring you The Hardy Boys: Treasure on the Tracks for Nintendo DS. This adventure sends Frank and Joe Hardy across Europe on a steam train on the tracks of a lost princess and a treasure hidden for over 100 years! Arriving in Spring of 2009, this game will let you visit Paris, Vianne, St. Petersburg and more as you search for the solution to brain-teasing puzzles.
Tackle Cancer With EA and Target!
EA's Madden NFL 09 has Brett Favre on the cover and a few special copies have a little something extra - a pink ribbon showing support for Breast Cancer. If you grab a copy of this game with the pink ribbon, EA Sports and Target will give a bit of money to the Deanna Favre HOPE Foundation, a breast cancer fighting organization that Brett Favre's wife founded in 2004 when she was diagnosed with the disease. Deanna was lucky enough to win her fight with breast cancer and, with help from EA, Target and gamers like you, even more people can survive it!
Skate This Groove!
We have a new video of EA's Skate It for Wii and DS! This one shows you some funky moves with a cool beat in the background. Click it!
It's a Plane, It's a Bird It's an... ATV?
Pure is a new racing game from Disney that lets you jump into the seat of a custom-built ATV and go screaming across muddy terrain. With 16 racers per track and so much air you'll swear these rides are part plane, it looks incredible. And two of the seven (eight with the unlockable guy) drivers are girl racers! Check out these videos to see the game take flight.
