Hmmm…

Sex addict Golfer Tiger Woods will not appear on the cover of the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters video game comes out March 29th, but Tiger won't be on the cover!

Although he WILL appear on the cover of the PS3 Collector's Edition, Woods will not be featured on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii versions for the first time EVER.

It's a suspicious time, considering all of Tiger's controversy, to not be featured on the cover for any reason OTHER than his sexual escapades, but EA Sports President Peter Moore insists otherwise, saying:

"You shouldn't read anything into the fact that Tiger's not featured on the box art of that particular edition. Tiger is right there on the PS3 version of the game with Move support, which was very good for us and Sony last year. We'll continue that."

Whatever you say, Pete!

Well, this is a first!

Nintendo is warning parents against letting their kids aged 6 and under from playing 3D video games on its upcoming hand-held system — Nintendo 3DS.

The company says that kids 6 and under could have the growth of their eyes stunted. Nintendo also warns pregnant women and even drunk people against viewing 3D TV, noting that the medium may cause nausea, dizziness, and seizures.

Fortunately, the system allows parents to turn off the 3D feature and set a password to keep kids from using it.

At least Nintendo is coming out with this info now before it’s released!

Now this is something you don't see every day - a major corporation telling its prime consumers to be wary of their product.

But with good reason.

Soon, lovers of their Nintendo DS will have a new way to play with the upcoming, 3-D handheld gaming system called the Nintendo 3DS.

The company is pretty stoked about it, but has sent out a vital warning to parents of gamers under the age of six. The company has released a statement through its Japanese website, urging parents to keep their children away from the gaming system until they are 6-years-old as the 3-D games may stunt the growth of their eyes.

Remember how when we were kids our moms didn't want us sitting too close to the T.V.? Same kind of thing,

Nintendo is taking all kids of precautions to protect their kiddie consumers and is being more than upfront about how parents can ensure their kids don't do any permanent damage. Their warning explains that parents can turn off the 3-D functionality, as well as set passwords that keep kids from using that feature. The statement also sends caution out to older gamers and implores them to "take periodic breaks from the games as often as every hour or 30 minutes."

We hear Nintendo's getting favorable reviews for the 3DS system, but their getting two thumbs way up from us for being responsible and letting people know about the health risks of using their product.

This way, everyone stays safe and healthy.

Play on!

Throughout the years, Nintendo has been the platform for some of the most memorable video game characters in history, including Super Mario, Link, and Donkey Kong.

Now, with Zoo Games' DS game Silly Bandz, we'll have some new characters to add to that list, including rabbit, dinosaur, and turtle!

We're REALLY not sure how badly the world needed a video game adaptation of Silly Bandz rubber bands, but regardless…now we've got one.

In the game, players are sent on tasks to free "Bandz" from capture by launching other Silly Bandz at the structures in which they're trapped. Yeah, it's pretty nonsensical confusing.

The games will ship with a set of twelve actual, not-virtual Silly Bandz, based on characters from the video game if you can really call them characters.

The game will also be released on iPhone, for all of you iPhone users out there who are also avid Silly Bandz enthusiasts.

Will U pick up the Silly Bandz game for DS? If not, what would U prefer to spend $29.99 on instead?
