Rumor: Ubisoft DRM already cracked
One of DRM’s many problems has always been its staying power. Publishers build their walls higher and higher, but pirates just bulldoze right over them time and time again.
Ubisoft, however, thought its anti-piracy solution was different. And, unfortunately (or extremely fortunately, depending on how you look at it), Ubisoft thought wrong.

DSi’s Hidden 3D Image: There It Is! game looks neat
Nintendo’s put out a video for its downloadable DSiWare game Rittai Kakushi e Attakoreda (Hidden 3D Image: There It Is!).
The video shows how the game measures the position and trajectory of the DSi’s camera to create a 3D diorama inside the dual screens. Moving the handheld around, the player can view areas that were previously hidden.
The game is for Japan only at this point, but it sure looks rather cool.
Watch below the break.
Thanks, That VideoGame Blog.
