Southpeak just sent over a review copy of its DS horror gameDementium II, with a mysterious message attached. As you may see in the above image, it came packed with a diaper and a label that reads, “Seriously… just trust me.” Whatever could Southpeak mean? From what I know,Dementium IIis a whimsical and adorable adventure through a jellybean forest starring a bright pink bear called Mr. Cuddles.

Words. They’re like tiny nuggets of enriched uranium. They hold great power and potential energy, but they’re also extremely fragile and unstable. When harnessed correctly, they can galvanize people behind a concept; when handled sloppily, they’re likely to blow up in your face. Despite the potential fallout, humans continue to rely on words as their primary currency for information exchange. “Immersion?” “Compelling?” The overuse and misuse of these terms and others in videogame discourse has led to a grand muddying of the waters....

WiiWare has been going strong since itsrecent debut, unleashing a string of interesting new titles and making a lot of gamers who had kind of forgotten about the little white system take interest again (me included). It seems they have no plans to slow down, either — according to Nintendo Senior Project Developer Tom Prata in a recentIGN interview, there are currently about 100 games in development. While that is hardly surprising news, Prata replied to a question about the storage issues with the Wii with a disappointing answer, saying that consumers could either delete games to make room for more or store them on an SD memory card....
