If you haven’t heard of Conway’s Game, this classic cellular automaton devise is consists of a collection of cells which, based on a few mathematical rules, can live, die or multiply.

The Game of Life rules:

• Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if caused by underpopulation.

• Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overcrowding.

• Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.

• Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell.

What Did I Do to Deserve This? to more humble What Did I Do To Deserve This, My Lord?!.

According to the publisher, the name change was made due to “the original title having a conflict of interest with an existing IP”. Which IP you might asked? NIS declined to specify. The name change will be applied to both last year’s release as well as the upcoming retail sequel, now humbly titled What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!?

The sequel, originally planned for a release next month will also be delayed. The game is now scheduled to arrive on May 4, 2010.

PSP Go

Sony’s PSP Go release on 1st november has been of little dismay.
In Japan,according to Famitsu, around 28000 units of PSP Go were being sold on its launch day with retail and download titles like Persona 3 Portable and Dissidia Final Fantasy Universal Tuning, as well as Disgaea Infinite and LocoRoco Midnight Carnival debuting alongside it.
This is a lukewarm response in comparison to other handhelds where Dsi sold 1,70000 in first 2 days of its launch in Nov 2008 and even PSP 3000,for all its criticism, sold above 1,40000 units in first four days.It has also been criticised for being an overpriced dissappointment.
