POPSThe Deadly Game Of Gaming in 2005, after a 50-hour Starcraft session. All we can say is we hope he won. The man, identified only by his family name Lee, sat down to play the online battle simulation game Starcraft at an internet cafe in the southern city of Taegu last Wednesday morning and stayed there for the next three days, stopping only for brief naps or toilet breaks. South Korean newspapers reported that Lee had recently been fired from his job because he spent too much time playing computer games. When he failed to return home by Friday, however, his mother asked his former colleagues to find him. When they reached the cafe, Lee told his friends that he would finish the game and go home. He died a few minutes later. Computer games are enormously popular in South Korea and professional gamers can earn big money through sponsorships and television stations devoted to broadcasting matches. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/article553840.ece

POPSMicrosoft says screw the Long Tail Way to go Microsoft. The whole point of the digital distribution era is it affords content makers the opportunity to sell their content without worrying about mass appeal (Long Tail economics). Microsoft is now eviscerating its digital distribution platform, Xbox Live Arcade, in favor of digitally stocking "good" games (and thereby deleting unpopular ones from its catalog). While the idea isn't unsound if Microsoft wants to build a robust library, it certainly goes against the entire grain of the digital age.

POPSNintendo Launches WiiWare Nintendo has a lot of catching up to do in the downloadable game space -- until now, all it has sold is ports of its own old console games. It's interesting to see the company focusing on new and indie developers, but that may not deliver enough buzz to make the service popular.
