The Logitech G9 mouse is still the one I primarily use for my PC gaming. I've been a little disappointed to see that there hasn't been any new grips coming out for the sucker but that's going to change a little now. Here's the first new product to update the mouse and it's a long time coming. Logitech will now let you customize the look of your G9 for $19.99. The ID Grip for the G9 mouse looks like one of the grips that comes with the peripheral but I can't be sure until I get my hands on one. The product will let you design your own look or use one of the pre-defined ones to give your G9 a personal touch. I think I'll put a picture of Chuck's forehead on mine so I can face palm it for all the times he decides to run off on his own in a team game. [READ MORE]

Sega lovers have a new place to call home at PlaySEGA.com.  It's a social networking site that's already chock-full of arcade, word, card, puzzle, quiz, sports, and Sonic games -- all free.  There's also Brain Assist (originally for the Nintendo DS) as well as Sonic at the Olympic Games.  Both free, too.  There's also Ice Shuffle:  free; Hollywood Adventure Quiz:  free; and Aquatic Word Burst:  free.  Scoring high in the games geets you Rings (the site's currency, of course) which will fund the decorating of your avatar's Escape Area -- it's "Home," if you will.  So if you're dying for yet another social networking site, you know where to go.

EA has alerted us that a new patch is out for Command & Conquer Red Alert 3. The patch, version 1.05, features a DRM De-authorization tool and a map builder as well as some bug fixes and balancing fixes. At least there's something to help you move your copy of Red Alert 3 to another computer but I think they should do away with the DRM in any case or choose a better one. SecuROM's not one of mine or anyone's favorite. [READ MORE]

If you want to try it out, Microsoft has released a new client for Games for Windows - Live. I've downloaded and installed it and so far found nothing really exciting about it. There are some videos, a demo, and other small stuff but really it's just not worth the time if you can't send or receive messages with other Live folks on the 360 or PC. Really, nothing to see here. Move along.

It was only a matter of time but it's finally here. EA has announced NASCAR Kart Racing for the Wii letting up to four players race around using some of the sports' biggest stars. The characters look 360 avatar-ish and they all race around in these go-kart like vehicles. Yeah, it's not going to be anything realistic but if you like the Mario Kart games this one might reel you in. [READ MORE]
