Posted on June 30th, 2009 CommentsReported China Journal: In the weekend’s bizarrest news, a nearly finished, newly constructed building in Shanghai toppled over, killing one worker. As can be seen in the photo below, the 13-story apartment building collapsed with just enough room to escape what would have been a far more destructive domino effect involving other structures in the 11-building complex.

Transformers Animated
Posted on June 28th, 2009 CommentsBased on the Cartoon Network’s animated television series, this well-crafted oneplayer Nintendo DS fighting title lets you take control of your favorite Autobot characters, including Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Prow.
As you make your way through each level of the side-scrolling kids game, you collect the lost fragments of the Allspark before the Decepticons intercept it and claim Cybertron as their own. Got that? As you blast through Decepticon-controlled hoverbots, you try to solve puzzles and race through a futuristic Detroit — avoiding oncoming traffic while changing from robot to vehicle form. This makes perfect sense, if you’ve watched the show. Features include three game save slots.
Besides the cartoon violence on par with the show, there is no worrisome content. In short, this is another action-packed fighting game designed to extend and transform the Transformers into an interactive medium. Developed by Artificial Mind and Movement exclusively for the Nintendo DS.
Details: Activision, Inc. Ages: 7-up. Platform: Nintendo DS.
