Thor on the Nintendo DS is not what you'd expect.

Thor plays incredibly well, and is a remarkably well-executed 2D brawler.$30 at Amazon.
Kotaku likes the Wii and DS versions too. Just like my experience with the Force Unleashed 2, the Wii version was pretty good fun, while the PS3/Xbox versions got terrible reviews.

Idol producers went to elaborate lengths last night to falsely present Jennifer Lopez's on-air performance as "live," but they left behind a few editing artifacts proving that it was taped.3.
