Majesco and Nintendo have a very good working relationship, and this has been the case for quite some time already ever since Cooking Mama hit the scene all those years ago. Well, the company is back with a new title for both the DS as well as DSi platforms, where it is titled Diamond Trust of London. The whole idea of the game is rather nefarious in nature – you are placed right smack in the middle of a situation where the battle to strip Angola of its valuable diamonds has reached fever pitch, and there are only eight months left until the United Nations starts regulating the sale of these rough precious gems. You, of course, are in control of one of the last two underground companies operating in the region, and you must delve into bidding wars while racing against the clock and each other. This will probably cause your kids to grow up faster by learning about the cutthroat nature of the diamond trade instead of watching Leonardo DiCaprio in Blood Diamond.

Anyone remembers Wipeout? Well, Wipeout will be making its way to two of Nintendo’s platforms – the DS as well as the Wii, in the form of Wipeout: The Game. How simply named, but we do hope that it comes with the same adrenaline pumping rush that we’re so used to when watching it on TV, so Activision Publishing had better do a good job. This title will be released to coincide with the summer holidays, where it will challenge fans to master speed, balance, and precision to overcome the world’s largest obstacle course, all the while making sure they attempt to avoid the inevitable hilarious falls, which could be due to your friends and family at times.

Heck, this multi talented lady might just be a parody of someone whose mind is in the gutter, coming up with a title like “Hot Mama” or something of the equivalent. Ah well, I difress- Crafting Mama is an exclusive title for the Nintendo DS. Developed by Cooking Mama Limited, this all-new crafting game lets players create their own unique crafts across a wide range of different projects.

EA Partners, a division of Electronic Arts Inc. has teamed up with leading independent developer Hothead Games to arrive at an exclusive publishing agreement that will bring DeathSpank to both the Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network sometime later this year. DeathSpank was developed under the vision of The Secret of Monkey Island creator and industry icon Ron Gilbert, where gamers will experience a story filled with Gilbert’s unique humor and wit with classic and addictive action RPG gameplay.
