Roundup - 11/13/06

• IBM Looks To Virtual Worlds for Global Training [Gamasutra] – very cool, IBM@Play looks like to be an interesting solution for a company who really understands new media. I am really impressed by IBM, who proves that even big established companies can be leaders in innovation.
• Would You Like Fries With That Game? [Gamasutra] great interview with Philip Oliver of Blitz Games, who are the ones working on the new Burger King advergames.
• Report: Wii Marketing Campaign $200 mln [Next-Gen] – check out the many different channels Nintendo plans to market through.
• “New format war is “unfair to gamers”, says Nintendo exec”:http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=21030 [Gamesindustry.biz] – to me this looks like a someone trying to spin how Wii is current-gen, while 360 and PS3 are next-gen.

TV Watch notice: This Wednesday night (11/15) CNBC is going to have a special on the games industry from the business perspective. Should be interesting.
