One of Russia's most distinguished game developer and publisher, 1C company, has announced two new game projects that will be their first on the next generation consoles. The two games are based on Captain Blood novels and the successful IL-2 Sturmovik flight combat simulation series.  Both are now heading to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 (to North America with help), but even handhelds will feel some love as well.

Well, lookie here! Homebrew applications developer for the Nintendo DS, sypherce, has updated his creation, DS2Key. Now, in version 0.6, the app has really improved in leaps and bounds over time. The last time we reported about it was way back in March and we're glad that this app is getting its needed updates.

In case you have forgotten what it is, DS2Key utilizes your NDS as a gamepad for your PC by transmitting signals via WiFi. Of course, you're gonna need a a wireless router for this. Version 0.6 is now blessed with virtual gamepad emulation so now, you can use it with any app requiring a joystick or gamepad.

Bear in mind that the touch screen serves as the analog stick when in gamepad mode. For now, the gamepad mode will only work for a single person. Aside from that, you must install an external program called PPJoy to make use of the gamepad mode functions. sypherce was kind enough to hook you up with instructions as to how to go about it, so fulfill your end of the bargain and read up. With all that mentioned, download link's right down there, you know what to do.
