Rachida Dati s’est déclarée favorable aux mesures proposées par la commission chargée de réviser l’ordonnance de 45, relative à la justice des mineurs, et notamment à l’idée de ramener à 12 ans l’âge auquel pourront être appliquées des sanctions pénales, dont éventuellement une mise en détention dans le cas d’un crime.

L’Affaire des affaires sera un des albums incontournables de janvier 2009. Et pour cause, tout ce qui parle de près ou loin l’Affaire Clearstream est décortiqué par la presse, la classe politique sans oublier les adeptes du “tous pourris”. Surtout que cette adaptation en bande dessinée de la vie du journaliste d’investigation Denis Robert est chapeautée directement par l’intéressé, aidé au scénario par Yan Lindingre.

Les éditions Dargaud viennent de mettre en ligne les 6 premières pages du premier volet qui en comptera 200, dessinées par Laurent Astier, auteur d’Aven et Cellule Poison. On y découvre un Jacques Chirac à 200 à l’heure – ça nous change – et des personnalités clefs de l’affaire Clearstream comme un Dominique de Villepin taillé au couteau ou un Nicolas Sarkozy surexcité – là, ça change pas. À en croire ces premières pages et la fameuse phrase du “croc de boucher” lancée par le ministre de l’Intérieur d’alors, le scénario risque d’être ponctué d’anecdotes, en plus d’un aspect pédagogique mis en avant par l’éditeur. Les auteurs devraient ainsi s’étendre sur les arcanes des banques offshores ou des paradis fiscaux.

Avec son côté thriller politique, L’Affaire des affaires devrait autant séduire les amateurs de polar que les passionnés de BD reportage. À moins que ce ne soit les fans de Jean-Jacques Beineix, persuadés d’y voir là une suite à la mémorable Affaire du siècle.

Let’s Tap is another mini-game compilation for the Wii, but the unique concept of tapping a cardboard platform to control the games makes it stand out. Unfortunately, Let’s Tap only has four games so it’s a micro mini-game collection. I played Tap Runner at TGS and it was pretty fun so I’m still looking forward to Let’s Tap, but not as much after seeing this trailer.

Rhythm Tap is essentially Taiko Drum Master with tap control and a mode where four players hit different notes. Silent Blocks is similar to Jenga… with tapping and a puzzle based alchemy mode where you can clear same color pieces. Bubble Voyager looks like the strongest single player game out of Let’s Tap and It’s essentially the Balloon Trip mode from Balloon Fight. The rest of the package is padded with visualizers. I suppose this isn’t too bad since Let’s Tap is priced like a second tier Wii game at 5,040 yen ($55) (note: games with this price usually retail for $39.99 in the US), but Let’s Tap has more visualizers than games.



Sega will shove Let’s Tap into stores on December 18, the same day they are releasing Bleach: Versus Crusade and the Wii version of Sonic: Unleashed in Japan. Launching a new intellectual property title among two staple franchises can’t be a good early sign for Let’s Tap.

The Rothschild Petersen Patent Model Museum, in Cazenovia, NY, houses an incredible collection of nearly 4,000 patent models. What's a patent model? Between 1790 and 1880 inventors had to submit working models along their patent filing. Like many Makers, I'm crazy about tiny functioning models of mechanical things, and would love to go see these in person someday. Maybe I can convince the producers to shoot some video there for season two of Make: television...

Lots of small publishers championed WiiWare while big guns like Electronic Arts, Capcom and Sega strayed away from it. On December 16 Sega will take their first step onto WiiWare with Let’s Catch, a project done with Yuji Naka’s studio Prope. Let’s Catch is pretty much what it sounds like - a motion controlled game of catch. Players throw baseballs by swinging the remote forward just like the baseball game in Wii Sports. Also like Wii Sports you can use your Mii in the game.



Let’s Catch introduces a few modes like a speed catching challenge and unexpectedly a story to follow. When you have company over you can play Nine Trial which has players toss balls to shatter nine pieces of a 3×3 square or Bomber catch which is like hot potato with Miis. Also somehow aliens are part of Let’s Catch.


Right now I’m not convinced Let’s Catch is really going to be substantial enough for a 1,000 Point ($10) WiiWare game. It looks more like a diversion or filler until Let’s Tap comes out, but I’m generally curious to see what Yuji Naka has been working on now that he’s independent.

It appears the art of drifting has entered the digital realm, and a group of digital racers named 'Project Blackjack" have put together an extensive video showcasing their talents. This is their seventh film entitled "The Rising Storm", compiled completely from Forza 2 footage, many times with with "camera cars" placed at certain location to capture the action. You can see tandem drifting on tracks like Laguna Seca, Road Atlanta and even the Nurburgring. As you can imagine, figuring out how to correctly film the drifting, getting two to five cars to make a good run together, and then finally compiling the footage took quite a while.

The PSP is becoming a home for unusual games these days. First Moe Moe Niji Taisen Deluxe and now Kamen Maid Guy Poyoyon Battle Royale. Gadgetsoft’s PSP game is a 2.5D fighting game based off an anime series run on TV Tokyo. Players attack each other with nail bats and throw objects sitting in the background. None of this sounds out of the ordinary until you see the trailer…

I've been playing this game like crazy, this game is awesome, it's like a geometry wars clone but with some nice graphics and asteroids instead of geometric forms.

If you're a fan of geometry wars, you'll certainly love this game as I do.

I just felt like sharing my excitement about this game cause it's one of those very simple games that are incredibly fun. And with the lack of games coming to the psp IMO this is a very nice addition to the psp library:thumbup:
