The folks over at Trademork just gave everyone a heads up that they have recieved the filed application from Cupertino which requests protection of the word “APPLE” for products that calssify as “toys, games, and playthings, namely, hand-held units for playing electronic games; hand-held units for playing video games; stand alone video game machines; electronic games other than those adapted for use with television receivers only; LCD game machines; electronic educational game machines; toys, namely battery-powered computer games.” Interesting eh?

As a fan of WoW, I like to see n00b’s reactions sometimes. Justine started playing…

From Justine: “Well, I finally had a few free minutes which turned into hours.. which then turned into hours of free time I really didn’t have to waste. But I did it anyway.

I have a lot to learn, but I’m slowly becoming less of a n00b each day. To those few people who took the time to email yell at me for using the arrow keys: I know, I know. I’m sorry. WASD!”

Game maker Nyko today announced they are are releasing an adapter that will cut the cord going from the Nunchuck to the Wiimote. They say it allows people to communicated with a Wii remote up to 15 feet away (handy for the people with a 15-foot armspan!). The “sleeve” will pack all the Nunchuck wire into itself making everything wireless. It’s yours for $20.

As a huge fan of Gran Turismo, I’m proud to announce that Gran Turismo 5 hits stores in the U.S. on April 17 for only $40. It will also be sold for the same price as a digital download on the Playstation Store. However, if you buy the dics version it comes with behind the scenes stuff including a high-def video called “Beyond the Apex”. “Ten years following the introduction of Gran Turismo(TM) on PS one(R), Gran Turismo 5 Prologue delivers the most realistic and technologically advanced racing experience on any platform,” said Jeff Reese, director, software marketing, SCEA. “With 1080p graphics, revolutionary online features like Gran Turismo(TM) TV and the new in-cockpit racing view, the world’sbest-selling racing franchise will once again set the standard for racing games.”

” Don’t forget that today is the last day to download your personal apology game from XBLA for free. For the uninformed, I will encapsulate the situation as best I can. Xbox Live had dicey service over the holidays and in an attempt to make up for it, offered Xbox Live Gold members a free game called Undertow. For those who have already downloaded the game, Microsoft will be pleased to offer you 800 MS points if you can traverse the mine field that is their customer service line.

Now that you are all caught up you can use the remaining hours of today to download your free game or attempt to get your free points. You have until midnight, so get crackin’.”
