New 'Zelda' out this year?

While our 'Gamer's Edge' writer is out for a few days, I'm going to sprinkle some video game news in with my Monday morning roundup!

--First things first, our hearts go out to Chile, and those who have loved ones in the country. If you have not yet located yours, here's a link to Google's People Finder, which launched hours after the quake to help people locate lost family members. Good luck.

--Be still my heart -- Nintendo VP Cammie Dunaway slipped in a seemingly innocuous comment during an interview on the latest releases for the Wii: The company is working on a new 'Legand of Zelda' game for possible release this year!

Link and his adventures are the ultimate old-school-graduates-to-new-school success story, and 'Ocarina of Time' still holds a special place in my heart and on my game shelf. Hopefully, the developers have gotten all of that 'Windwaker' nonsense out or their systems so we can move on to something better!

--ET, phone headquarters ... If you ever dreamt of having light at your fingertips like that fleshy, foldy alien, these gloves might grant that wish. Flying bicycle not included. (PS-- Who needs lights on the tops of their hands? If you're working with something that requires you to have light in the first place, shouldn't cet light be on the under side of your hands so you can see what you're working with? I mean, come on ...)

--In the market for a great LCD TV, but concerned about all that wasted energy it puts out? Sony's new energy-efficient Bravia might be juuuust what you're looking for.


--We'll be talking 'LOST' here on Wednesday, but here's a preview: Michael Emerson (Ben) talks 'LOST' tech with our friends at Digital Trends via podcast. Ohh, Ben, I do love your dastardly ways ... I hope that you turn out to be good!

--So, I know what it's like to get your cellphone signals crossed and accidentally (for a while) listen in on someone else's conversation. However, it feels a little more invasive when it happens on Facebook.

--More problems for the PlayStation 3 ... is it worth anything more than a sort-of cheap Blu-Ray player, really?

--And, finally, a public health warning from me: Always take the full course of your antibiotic treatments! Even when you're feeling better, you still have to finish off the icky pink stuff or else!

See you back here Wednesday, where we'll talk a little 'LOST.' (Now, the pressure is on for me to stay awake for it...)
