The company is hoping to gain a larger part of the gaming market by expanding their library of exclusive games and offering a completely unique online experience.

One of the biggest video game publicity events is happening this week at the E3 Media & Business Summit in Los Angeles. That means lots of gaming news, updates and a sick amount of eye candy.
Microsoft held their press conference today and capitalized on the recent news that the Xbox 360 will get a price drop ($299 for the 20-gigabyte hard drive). They boosted interest in the console by showing off some impressive new games and Xbox LIVE features to be released this fall.

Board members of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) are seen during a vote in Paris, Thursday, June 26, 2008. The Internet’s key oversight agency relaxed rules Thursday to permit the introduction of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of new Internet domain names to join “.com,” making the first sweeping changes in the network’s 25-year-old addressing system.

The way we navigate the Internet is about to change.
ICANN, the Internet’s “top-level” domain name regulator, voted unanimously Thursday to relax the rules on domain names like “.com” and “.net”, freeing new websites to use any extension imaginable — for a hefty price. (more…)

Warner Bros. has created a new website to promote Batman: Gotham Knight, the direct-to-DVD (and Blu-ray) anime. According to the website, the DVD will feature “six standalone chapters, each with stylish art from some of Japan’s greatest anime visionaries, weaved together into a larger story that follows Batman through his transition from beginner to The Dark Knight.” The website includes an amazing trailer, production videos, a gallery of photos, wallpapers and more. Batman: Gotham Knight will hit stores on July 8 and The Dark Knight will hit theaters on July 18. I can’t wait!

In my never ending quest to find cool ways to waste time on the internet, I came across Crayon Physics. Like all of the best games, the object is simple: move the red ball to the star on the screen. This is accomplished by drawing squares to create a path and using physics to make it travel that path. The look of the game is pitch-perfect and really evokes the feel of those bygone days spent scribbling with crayons. Just like with real crayons, it’s as much fun to mess around drawing different things as it is to actually follow the rules. It’s a quick and free download, so give it a try and see if it doesn’t make you feel like a kid again.
