Lunar Knights is a newly released Nintendo DS title and marks the debut of Konami's Hideo Kojima & Kojima Productions on the Nintendo DS. Here's a summary of Lunar Knights: "Descend into the gothic Sci-Fi world of Lunar Knights and take control of two warriors on a quest to reclaim the world from the vampiric legion. Spin together tornados, guide down flaming meteors, and blow together snowstorms in Kojima Productions first ever title on the DS. Two different heroes with unique powers and weapons. In-game day/night cycle and weather affects gameplay. Use the touch pen to solve puzzles and guide your vehicle through 3D shooter mini games." The game takes place in the same world as Boktai, but is not a direct sequel to it, as Lunar Knights introduces new characters. Remember Boktai? The Gameboy Advance game used a photometric light sensor to measure sunlight/uv rays, which affected gameplay.

Victim's family forgives street racer
A lot has happened to Josh Guynn since the morning nearly two years ago when he lost control of his Volkswagen GTI during a street race and crashed into a tree, killing his best friend, Wayne Dietz. Guynn was charged with vehicular homicide. Dietz's family has forgiven him, while some angry friends have abandoned him. Just five months after the crash, Guynn was ticketed for speeding 87 mph in a 70 mph zone on Interstate 90 and lost his license. And last month, as a King County judge prepared to sentence him in the death of Dietz, he began speaking to high-school students about his experience, urging them not to get sucked into illegal street racing. On Friday, King County Superior Court Judge James Cayce weighed the sincerity of Guynn's actions since the fatal April 2005 crash and the severity of his crime, to which Guynn pleaded guilty.
High-Flying Sabres Take Top Spot
Dainius Zubrus was acquired at the trade deadline to help put the Buffalo Sabres over the top. He could only watch as the high-flying Sabres outlasted the Montreal Canadiens in an 8-5 win on Friday night to take over the top spot in the league with 91 points, passing idle Nashville.Zubrus was held without a point in his Sabres debut, but it didn't matter. Acquired from Washington in a trade deadline deal Tuesday, Zubrus was more impressed with Buffalo's high-octane offense than his own play. That offense leads the league in goals, and has scored five or more times in each of the past five games."I didn't realize how fast this game can be," Zubrus said. "I talked to the coach before and he said we play at a high pace. They jump and they go to score goals. I think now I'll know a little bit more what to expect."Michael Ryan scored his first two NHL goals, Thomas Vanek also had two goals, and Derek Roy had a goal and three assists in the win.
