Today, PoPCap Games released a World of Warcraft-themed version of Peggle for free. This special edition comes packed with ten new levels for you to bounce and grind through as Bjorn the Unicorn and some other un-horsey character named Splork. PoPCap hasn’t skimped on the WoW-related jokes and puns.

Nintendo has sprung up a new DS Lite bundle. The Nintendo DS Lite Green Spring Bundle arrives just in time for spring, and for Mother's Day.

From Nintendo:
"Ah, spring. The time when everyone's fancy turns to...video games. To celebrate the season of growth and rejuvenation, Nintendo announces the blooming of a new Nintendo DS system color: Green. The cool new color comes bundled with a hip carrying case and a copy of the Personal Trainer: Cooking video game, which serves as an interactive cooking coach.

The new bundle will be available on May 3, which just happens to be a week before Mother's Day (hint, hint). Just like everyone else, moms are always looking for new and interesting meal ideas. Personal Trainer: Cooking includes more than 245 recipes from around the world, along with step-by step instructions for how to prepare them."

It has a $149.99 MSRP.

This seven-minute long ad is full of awkward jokes, cringe worthy moments and some real bad acting.

Friday 29 June 2007 Pet Alien, a puzzle game based on the CGI children's TV series of the same name, will hit DS this September - and we've got the first screenshots here. The game is looking like being just as child-friendly as the TV show it comes from, and will feature familiar characters, such as youngster Tommy Cadle, whose life is turned upside down after the arrival of his new alien friends, Gumpers, Dinko, Swanky, Flip and Scruffy. Of course, a simple meeting of boy and aliens wouldn't ...

Gamer Limit writes "For quite some time, there has been talk of a new game in Japan. While it's set for a May release in the land of the rising sun, the rest of us haven't heard so much as a peep about an international release. That is, until today."
