Dragon's Lair Trilogy Coming to Wii

Dragon's Lair Trilogy Coming to Wii
Publisher Destineer is teaming with developer Digital Leisure to bring three arcade classics to the Wii.

The re-release is going to feature both Dragon's Lair 1 and 2, as well as Space Ace, which was developed by the same team. All three games will be completely arcade authentic, so we don't have to expect any changes to ruin the nostalgia, but with remastered animation for both standard and widescreen viewing. (People still use standard TVs? What? No, I'm not disillusioned...)

Halo: Combat Evolved PC Keys Unlock Reward in Halo: Reach

Halo: Combat Evolved PC Keys Unlock Reward in Halo: Reach
Bungie is earning a track record of showing support for their fans. Most recently, when the servers for the original incarnation of Xbox Live (kept alive, mostly, by Halo 2) were going down, Bungie gave all of the hardcore and long-lasting fans of that game beta keys for the Halo: Reach beta as a sign of gratitude for being so dedicated to the franchise.

Bungie is doing something similar, this time with PC and Mac gamers.

September 21 is Civilization V Day!

September 21 is Civilization V Day!
...in Maryland.

Maryland governor Martin O'Malley issued a proclamation recently that calls for the population of Maryland to celebrate Civilization V Day on September 21, the game's release date. This falls somewhat in line with the mayor of Topeka, Kansas issuing a proclamation calling for it to be renamed Google, Kansas in a ploy to get the company to bring its high speed internet "beta" to the town. Though, this one is different in that it doesn't really seem to serve any actual purpose, but instead is just for fun.
