Monday Newsround Up

Good afternoon.  An toir thu dhomh pòg?   

It's Monday, it's May and it's officially a slow news day games-wise.  After the hysteria and hype of GTA IV and the genuinely exciting news about Bioshock being made into a movie, we're reduced to the stories which didn't make the cut last week.

However, let's kick off with a good one.  A really good one...
