Yahoo! TV Coverage has introduced its new "Survivor" Pick'em Game, a free game that provides fans of the hit CBS series the opportunity to predict who will be voted off the show each week. "Survivor" fans can then enter their picks to compete against friends, family, co-workers and other people on Yahoo!. Each week, people will be given 100 points to distribute among the survivors. The number of points a player places on the survivor who ends up being voted off the show that week is added to the player's total score. Players are invited to enter their picks in a public group to compete against other fans from around the country, or they can create or join a private group to compete against friends, family or co-workers. The person who accumulates the most points during the season's 13 weeks (ending April 19) is determined the winner of their particular group.

What a great week in gaming! Ritual Entertainment splits to form a company called (of all things) Mumbo Jumbo. Oh, and Nintendo is also suing an online gaming publication for using copyrighted Pokemon images (and because of their 100% Unofficial Pokemon Guide). The details on this can be found in our suitably titled "Jeez, Nintendo, What are you DOING???" forum thread. Other topics in this week's Forum Frag include everyone’s favorite mod (Counter-Strike), more Xbox facts and rumors, a lively discussion on how much we want Starcraft 2 details, and much more gaming goodness!
