Pirates Vs. Ninjas Confirmed for Wii

Image


 


Gamecock has confirmed that Pirates Vs. Ninjas will be hitting the Wii console this winter. The game has its origins in a popular Internet meme, and has now been turned into a dodgeball battle.



The game allows competition up to eight players and offers a total of seven teams, including pirates, ninjas, robots and zombies, plus three unannounced ball slingers. Each team utilises its own unique techniques and strategies to try and ultimately defeat the enemies. The Nintendo Wii build of the game (it’s also being launched on Xbox Live shortly) features a number of new features, including fresh challenge modes and a number of customisable control options.



Look for it in time for the holidays.

Sony to Recall Over Half-a-Million VAIOs

Looks like Sony’s got a big problem on their hands, but at least their doing something about it. Some VAIO laptops in the VGN-TZ may be suffering from wiring problems that lead to overheating. This has led to at least 15 reported complaints, and at least one case of a user getting burnt. On top of that, it’s probable that Sony isn’t pleased how Apple once again steals the limelight, with Yahoo Tech explaining that “The TZ is the super-miniature laptop to which Steve Jobs famously compared the MacBook Air”. Way to be sensitive Yahoo!


The recall announcement is pretty straightforward, requesting that VGN-TZ owners have their units inspected (and repaired if needed) as soon as possible. They promise to pay for everything of course, and even to go wherever you are when practical. For more details visit Sony’s eSupport page. (tech.yahoo.com)
