A German cyber gamer flew from all the way from Germany to the UK to kill the owner of an online forum, after becoming obsessed with the man's girlfriend.
Just to confuse everyone, Advance Wars: Days of Ruin is getting a name change for its Euro release in February.
A news story over at Gameplayer confirms that Nintendo has changed the name of the highly anticipated fourth installment in the Advance Wars series.
Previews for Advance Wars: Days of Ruin reveal that the game's cheerful tone isn't the only thing Intelligent Systems stripped from the turn-based strategy title; fans of the series can expect to find a lot of the "distractions and unnecessary elements" that plagued previous games to be missing. Dual-screen battles and "many advanced units" were cut, and unbalancing CO powers have been softened in favor of more strategic maneuvering.

Remember Aegis Wing? That Xbox Live Arcade game that was developed by a few students at Carbonated Games? The one that you probably remember the US getting as a free gift last week. Well it seems that us Europeans might be getting a piece of the action soon.
Microsoft is planning to give Xbox Live users a nice little bonus in the coming weeks by giving away the Carbonated Games-developed shooter Aegis Wing for free. A press release snuck out on Microsoft's own Gamerscore Blog earlier today describing the Xbox Live Arcade release as a four-player "2-D side-scrolling space shooter that combines epic space combat with fantastic visuals... set to a rich symphonic soundtrack." The release has been removed and replaced with information on next week's release, Soltrio Solitaire.
