Here's a roundup of today's news found elsewhere on the internet:

Ubisoft trademarks Future Soldier (eurogamer) - Ubisoft's Ghost Recon 4 could be subtitled Future Soldier, judging by a new Ubisoft trademark spotted at the weekend by superannuation.

The name's not a million miles away from the series' previous "Advanced Warfighter". Nor, looking further afield, from Modern Warfare.

But both of the above are set in a near, graspable future. Perhaps Ubisoft is now ready to ditch bullets for lasers and bullet-proof vests for rocket-powered rollerskates. The trademark filing itself offers no other clues.

Ghost Recon 4 has been mentioned on multiple occasions this year during Ubisoft's financial reports and conference calls. The game has not been officially announced, however, and won't be out before April 2010 - an autumn or early 2011 release is most likely.

Nintendo trademarks WiiRelax (eurogamer) - Siliconera has uncovered a Nintendo trademark filing in Europe for "WiiRelax".

The site speculates that the title might apply to software for the Wii Vitality Sensor, the pulse-measuring peripheral that president Satoru Iwata revealed at Nintendo's E3 press conference last summer. Seems a reasonable supposition.

An Italian developer called Pub Company also announced a product called Wii Relax back in April this year, but no mention has been made of this recently and its website has disappeared.

According to Nintendo of America's president Reggie Fils-Aime, we'll find out more about the Vitality Sensor at E3 2010.

Final Fantasy XIII ships 1.8 million for launch (gamesindustry.biz) - Square Enix has shipped 1.8 million copies of the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIII and expects to sell two million during the game's opening days on sale, according to Square president Yoichi Wada.

"We've already shipped 1.8 million copies and hope sales will reach two million soon," said Wada, speaking at an event held at the Shibuyo Tsutaya store in Tokyo to mark the game's launch.

The company's bullish sales expectations are based on brisk sales of DS title Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies, released in July, reports Mainichi Japan.

Final Fantasy's release on Wednesday, which follows relatively soon after the PlayStation 3's price reduction to JPY 29,980, is expected to boost PlayStation 3 sales in the country significantly.

Woman calls police to stop son playing video game (Stuff.co.nz) - A frustrated Boston woman called police to say she couldn't get her 14-year-old son to stop playing video games and go to sleep.

Police spokesman Officer Joe Zanoli said Monday the mother called for help around 2.30am local time Saturday to say that the teenager also walked around the house and turned on all the lights.

Two officers who responded to the house persuaded the child to obey his mother.

Zanoli says the mother's police call over video game obsession "was a little unusual, but by no means is it surprising - especially in today's day and age when these kids play video games and computer games."

The Boston Herald first reported the police call, saying the boy was playing the popular Grand Theft Auto game.
