Nintendo Revolution comes to Walmart

Walmart is now starting to advertise the Nintendo Revolution. Wow. Perhaps it will be out before the PS3? I think this will win the next-gen console race due to the price point. The PS3 is still rumoured around $400.

Cool game: Mansion Impossible

I thought this was really clever. It's like one of those "keep clicking" style games, but with a bit of strategy. Basically, you buy and sell houses, by clicking on them when they pop up. And you're supposed to sell them at a profit. You have a limited reserve of money in your account to buy homes with, but as you buy and sell, your bank account grows with the profits you make. The goal of the game is to purchase the $10 million home in as short a time as possible. It's your Mansion Impossible!
