Ok, maybe I’m being a bit melodramatic. After all,the newsI just came across isn’t even Boll-ian in nature. Still, having Paul W.S. Anderson now attached to direct the upcoming action-racer-to-film adaptation is the Hollywood equivalent of having your little brother trip over the controller cable right when you reach the boat level. Unfortunately, your parents are home, and they’re still upset about last week when you broke his nose over a game ofGyromite....

The downloadable puzzle game, simply titledSudoku, is coming to both platforms in October. Both will feature over 100 puzzles, as well as the ability to add more puzzles from publications via a Newspaper mode....
