| Super Street Fighter II Turbo and Super Puzzle Fighter II Coming ...
Releasing an updated but not ruined version of a classic game is tough, sand I'm excited to see what Capcom has planned for its upcoming Xbox Live and Playstation Network releases of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. HD means 1080p as well as updated artwork and graphics. UDON comics, the gifted folks behind the Street Fighter comic series, are handling all the updated art, and it looks like the games are in good hands. But almost every change is optional, so feel free to run the original graphics or the original version of Puzzle Fighter II.
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix includes all 17 of the original SSFII Turbo characters, and will include single-player as well as local or online one-on-one action. In addition, it'll feature in-game voice chat, matchmaking "flexibility through multiple options," and worldwide leaderboards.

Downtown Conroe Hosts the 4th Annual Gullo Conroe Kidzfest ...
Where can a kid find a whole lot of fun and games in a safe and friendly environment? At the 4th annual Gullo Conroe KidzFest, which returns to Downtown Conroe on the weekend of April 21 and 22, 2007. The best part is that the event offers free admission to all kids in Montgomery County; and while they toss a ball with a local athlete or participate in a safe and fun science experiment, parents get the opportunity to keep the kids safe by updating immunizations and having them fingerprinted by the Conroe Police Department. KidzFest has become one of the favorite annual events in Montgomery County in recent years -- and one of the best. "We start planning villages earlier every year," says Karen Ladyman, one of the event's organizers. "As a result, the villages each have a lot more activities, with better layout and planning.

Mitchell, 43, received 49 first-place votes from a panel of 128 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout North America, the league said in a news release.

The Raptors went 47-35 under Mitchell this season, posting a league-best 20-game improvement from 2005-06 and tying the franchise mark for wins. Toronto, the Eastern Conference's third seed in the playoffs, lost the first game of its series against New Jersey. Game 2 is tonight.

Net battles for navy recruits
AN innovative online marketing campaign by the Royal Australian Navy using Microsoft's Messenger service has lured enough recruits to fill two battleships. The campaign has also cut the cost of acquisition of each recruit from more than $300 to less than $10.
The campaign, masterminded by Ian Lumsden on his return from a rotation in Iraq, used an online version of the popular children's game Battleships to target the navy's key recruitment demographic. Along the way it has managed to fill 15 per cent of the navy's annual recruitment target. The battleship campaign grew out of a decision to use banner ads on MSN Messenger against the advice of the Australian Defence Force's media agency Universal McCann. "I wanted to trial Messenger because it just seemed to me that a lot of young people were using that as a communications tool," Lieutenant-Commander Lumsden said.
