While I don't expect anybody to have much sympathy for someone who gets paid to play videogames, this sort of review is very difficult to write. Not only is it a game that has already been lavished with praise in the past, developing a vociferous fanbase along the way, but it's also one of those games where your reaction to this particular version depends largely on prior exposure. If you've never played Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney then this WiiWare edition is easy to recommend. If, however, you're familiar with the original game then you'll be excused for recoiling slightly at the rather shameless shovelware treatment the magnificently coiffured legal eagle receives here.

Bubbly brunette Bobby Kotick likes to laugh, even when it's about wasting billions of dollars. The Activision chief has revealed that he thought $7 million was far too much to pay for Blizzard back in 1995. 12 years later, Activision would merge with Vivendi Games in a deal worth $18.9 billion, largely so Kotick could get his hands on the Warcraft developer.

Microsoft is in negotiations to bring ESPN's sports coverage to the Xbox 360, according to the New York Times.

"Life after Bush and Gorbachev, the wall is down but something is lost / A fine little girl is waiting for me, but I'm as bent as Dostoevsky." So sang Iggy Pop in 1993. Who could have imagined that 17 years later, actual little girls would be jumping up and down to those words in front of their tellies? But then who could have imagined that Iggy Pop would be selling car insurance by then? Or that the world's best-selling console would be the one with the least processing power? Or that a game for that console, one where all you have to do is wave your arms about like it's 1993 and you're a massive tit, would turn out to be quite good?

Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez does not like PlayStation, because he thinks the console leads children down the capitalist "road to hell". Could Kaz Hirai be the Pied Piper of Hamlin?

An unlikely champion has been found in Ubisoft's Wii game Just Dance, which has ended Modern Warfare 2's nine-week honeymoon atop the UK all-formats chart.

Tecmo KOEI's told Eurogamer that Quantum Theory will be released here in late March.

It's unfortunate that this frosty sports simulation has arrived just as everyone in Britain is thoroughly sick of bloody snow, but unlucky timing should be the least of its worries. The button-mashing, stick-waggling sports genre was never likely to reveal many hidden depths, but even by the limited standards of this peculiar subset of gaming Vancouver 2010 is a slender experience.

The online RPG Hellgate is to return to the US and Europe next year, reports GamesIndustry.biz.

The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences has announced that it will induct Marble Madness creator Mark Cerny into its Hall of Fame at the DICE Summit next month.

PS3 RPG Last Rebellion has been blessed with Western release dates - a slightly vague February in North America, and a much more precise 12th March for Europe.

BioWare has said it will not charge for any Mass Effect 2 downloadable content released alongside the game next week.

Blending genres seems like the very best kind of unpredictable fun - and the developer in charge is often the magic ingredient. Take RPGs and gunplay: in the hands of a seasoned Western FPS team like Gearbox, you end up with the twitchy, procedurally-generated madness of Borderlands - a bubbling stew of headshots, loot drops and perks. With tri-Ace in the kitchen, however, you get Resonance of Fate: a JRPG with random battles and bizarrely satisfying turn-based shootouts.
