Are playing too much Angry Birds? Prepare for the intervention on today's CheckPoint.

Kinect-operated music game "Lifelike" renamed to "4AM."
Goldeneye for the PS Move to include a rifle peripheral instead of the Walter PPK Bond uses.
Unsurprisingly 25-34 year olds account for most "freemium" game content sales.
Blizzard claims to be able to release six titles in the next three years.
Bejeweled Blitz might be a strong cognitive training tool.
Angry Birds has been downloaded 350 million times.
Paul gives further perspective on how crazy big these numbers are.

The PS Vita comes out on December 17th 2011.

As of September 2013 (roughly two years after their announcement) Blizzard has released three games (World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, Diablo 3, and Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm), and formally announced 4 other projects (Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls, Starcraft 2 Legacy of the Void, Hearthstone Heroes of Warcraft, and Blizzard All-Stars.). Presumably another World of Warcraft expansion will be announced at Blizzcon 2013.
