Exclusively for the Nintendo DS, Microïds and Dreamcatcher have announced that Syberia has shipped to retail and is now available in stores.

For Kate Walker, a sophisticated New York Attorney, the Voralberg Toy Company acquisition seemed like an easy task: a quick stop-over to a small alpine village in France to buy-out an old toy factory, then straight back home to New York. But deep in the alpine valleys, Kate uncovers a secret which starts her on a fascinating quest of discovery. Due to an unexpected twist, her business trip quickly becomes a journey across land and time throwing all she values into question, while the deal she set out to sign becomes a pact with destiny…

I saw a commercial for this stuff the other night, but now there are pretty pictures to write about as well. Burger King is upholding the time-honored tradition of coaxing children into obesity with the promise of toys by offering a new range of Nintendo-themed goodies alongside its Kid's Meal.

There are ten of the little bastards to collect, and according to Burger King, each one does "something awesome." Unfortunately, none of them can make Carnival Games disappear from the Wii's library. Anyway, if you feel like being a total baby, here's something for you to do when you get off from work today. 

None of these look like they'll beat those old awesome Mario toys though. You remember the ones? They had a Goomba that did a backflip and a springy Raccoon Mario. That was back when toys from fast food restaurants ruled. 

Don't even get me started on the French Fries that could TURN INTO A ROBOT!

Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS! When you gonna call them? SOME TIME IN JUNE OF 2009! You know, I knew there was a reason I didn’t get into song writing, I don’t think those lyrics work at all. However, they do present to you, our reader, the facts of the matter. Atari, who picked up the new Ghostbusters from Activision, has announced that the game will hit in June of next year. Now to find my toy ghost busting trap with the air pump activated doors and proton pack with they styraphone electricity shooting out it. Those things were awesome and my mom better not have thrown them out like my Ninja Turtle toys.

Yeah, I'm not quite sure what I just saw.

I do know for certain that it was made as an example of what one can do with Grand Theft Auto IV's video editor, using no external software. A bit like videos made with Valve's Source Engine, only not quite as funny.

Apparently, anybody who has the PC version of GTA IV can make videos like the one above, or the one contained after the jump. A fun little toy it may be, but Destructoid already has one Amazing Conrad. We don't need another.

It would seem that Microsoft's Black Friday Marketplace sale was a success, because the platform holder is now offering one brand new deal a week for the month of December.

The first "Holiday Deal" is the Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack for 400 Microsoft points. Originally priced at 600, that's a saving of 200 pieces of digital toy money! The deal will last from today until the end of the week, when a new deal takes over. 

Having wised up after the sh*tstorm of the Black Friday deal, Microsoft has also announced that this new scheme is open to ALL Xbox Live members, regardless of region. Everybody can be cheap bastards together.

And really, isn't that what Christmas is all about?
