The Shortest War in History: History's shortest war began and ended in 1896. British ships began bombing the island of Zanzibar at 9am, and Zanzibar surrendered at about 9:45am, that same morning. The battle was prompted by the ascension to Zanzibar's throne of Khalid bin Barghash, second son to Sultan Hamad bin Thuwaini, who had died two days before. The British, who had sovereignty over the island, opposed the new Sultan. When he refused to step down, the British fired upon the island, quickly bringing the insurrection to an end.

 Pictured to your left is the Wii Balance Board. This board measures how much pressure you are giving on either leg or arm (depending if you are standing or pressing down with your hands on it). Therefore it has been announced by Shigeru Myamoto (hopefully correct spelling) himself that it is getting a lot of attention from other companies both game and  non game related. In addition he has announced that it woukd work well with a snowboard game........hmmmm 1080 Wii? Could be un;less they do a mii snowboarding game... hopefully they will have mii features in a traditional 1080 game! Therefore covering both the casual and hardcore/snowboarding scene.

Hi, Puzzle League DS will be landing on our shores on the 29th June 2007. Does the image look famillar ?  Well Tetris Attack is back, all be it with a diffrent name... Diffrent name you ask? Yes ....well not exactly ....let me explain! A version of Tetris Attack was released on the Game Boy Color under the name Pokemon Puzzle League (Obviously Featuring Pokemon). This version of the game featured the word 'League' in the title, as in the pokemon games you take part in leagues and they extended this idea into Tetris Attack. So, seeing as this is the sucessor to that game ( Well in Europe), but with out pokemon, they have chosen to simply call it Puzzle League. Do I like the name? Yes and no. I like it because it sounds catchy, however I  do not like it because there are no leagues (as far as I am aware). However it is a better name than Tetris Attack as the series  shares very little with Tetris. (Part 2 to come)
