In terms of music I think 2005 has been a pretty good year, many new bands, the MTV Music Awards came to Portugal (hmm, the Gift should have played at least one song there, how shamefull of the organization…) and iTunes has been selling buckloads of musics.
So without further delay, let me tell you about the top 5 albums I most enjoyed this year: (more…)

Remember those days when games were a bunch of pixels? when Sega and Nintendo ruled the games industry and you were happily playing Super Mario or Sonic?
well, if you don’t then you can visit this site and take a look at some game endings from that era, for me it brings back some good memories of a time when games were less comercial and more about gameplay.
Anyway, go to Game revolution and take a look.

Nintendo redesigned the Nintendo DS giving it a more sleek and shinny look.

The Nintendo DS Lite will be smaller and lighter than it’s predecessor and maybe it will have some new improvements, for now you can stare at the (few) mock-up images at EuroGamer .

I’m really anxious to see the new DS in full colour and I hope it arrives in Europe around March, the ‘old’ DS is an impecable gaming machine despite the initial contrary feelings of the general public and it’s selling well, just take a look at this article by GamesIndustry .

Here in Europe, where 3.5 million units of the console have been sold, Mario Kart DS has sold 800,000 copies since it was launched in November.
