EA’s given me a reason to consider picking up the upcoming “Need for Speed Undercover” action racing game - the title will be featuring Maggie Q as the lead character in several live-action sequences for the story line. Don’t remember Maggie Q? She starred in Mission Impossible III and Live Free or Die Hard and well yeah.. just do a Google image search on her.
Need for Speed Undercover will hit the U.S. stores on Nov. 18th and European stores on Nov. 21st and will be available for Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, PSP, PC, and mobile platforms.

When you’re part of one of the biggest game publishers in the world, and you realize that the next generation of gaming lies on a device called the iPhone, what do you do? While you’re mulling over your answer, let me tell you what Neil Young did. He left his company (Electronic Arts) to launch his own gaming company.
Neil Young’s gaming company will be “a next-gen mobile games publisher, specifically and initially focused on the iPhone.” He’s called it ng: moco, which stands for Next-Gen Mobile Company. Name-wise, it’s not as creative as he can get, I’m sure. But I’m guessing he’s focusing all his creativity on the games he’ll develop.
Young seems to firmly believe that the next generation of mobile gaming lies on the Apple iPhone. As such, he will dedicate his time from now on in developing iPhone specific mobile games.
The following statement pretty much sums up what he thinks about the iPhone in terms of gaming:
“The device itself is, from a performance standpoint, somewhere between a DS and a PSP, but unlike the PSP, it’s got touch, the accelerometer, the camera, the microphone… it’s location-aware, and from a usage standpoint it’s always on, always with you and always connected to the network.”
That’s why he’s wasted no time in creating NGMoCo, to attract developers to his side and build a fleet of dedicated mobile game developers like him who share his vision of an iPhone dominated gaming world. For the time being.

Hey, we gave you the opportunity to voice your opinion on Microsoft’s original Zune back in August, so it’s only fair that the new kids on the block get their turn in the ring, too. This go ’round, however, we’re adding a little twist — focus your attention on the flash-based iterations only. The diminutive Zune 4 and Zune 8 were probably more highly anticipated than their HDD-based siblings, and considering that the rumors were literally all over the map leading up to the release, we can’t say anything really shocked us when launch day came and went. Granted, we were a bit bummed to find that these wouldn’t feature TV outputs, but hey, at least we got the option of adding more than just two lines of text to the thing’s rear, right?
By now, you’ve had more than ample time to give the flash-based Zune of your choice some serious play, and we’re sure you’ve logged a couple of complaints in your mind, so here’s your chance to get it all out in the open. If given the keys to the Zune 4 / 8 design lab, what changes would you implement? Add in a few more pixels? How about a few more gigabytes? Melt the whole thing down and shape it like a discus? Or is your heart still longing for the oh-so-elusive Zune phone? Whatever your wish may be, feel free to let the whole world know in comments below — you never know who’ll tune in.

Well, would you look at this. Thanks to the oh-so-disclosing FCC website, we’re now seeing drawings of what looks to be 4GB and 8GB versions of Microsoft’s forthcoming flash-based Zunes. Sure enough, the pictures match the leaked photos from yesterday to a T, so it shouldn’t be long before these things get officially official. Additionally, the documentation includes what appears to be a matching Zune FM transmitter module and dock, which is pictured after the jump for your enjoyment. Hold tight kids, the new Zunes are nearly here.

Don’t go betting the farm or anything, but “according to sources close to the situation,” Microsoft will be unveiling the second-generation of Zune players come Tuesday. Apparently, Mr. Gates and J Allard will be attending the shindig, and it sounds like both the “thinner” HDD-based Zune and the flash-based Zune will indeed be launched. The overall design of the HDD Zune isn’t set to change all that much, but the 3- x 1.25-inch flash Zunes “are said to look much like the iPod nano,” and they should include video playback capabilities and larger storage capacities than “competing products.” As expected, Redmond wouldn’t respond to the hunches, but if these rumors prove true, we could see the new flock of Zunes hit shelves “this November.”
