Last week, Shelby Bonnie, former CEO of CNET wrote a great guest piece for TechCrunch, where he suggested killing off CPM as a measurement for online advertising. I'd go even further, and suggest that the obsession with CPM has seriously harmed online advertising. The key point is the one that Bonnie makes first: if you pay for impressions, you create incentives to get impressions. But impressions, by themselves, are not particularly useful, especially when everyone making those impressions ignores the advertisement itself.

Yesterday marked the 10-year anniversary of the U.S. launch of the Sega Dreamcast, and how better to commemorate the occasion than announcing a new game for the long-deceased console? Developer Senile Team and publisher redspotgames are partnering to deliver Rush Rush Rally Racing to the Dreamcast later this October.

Judging by the game's trailer, Rush Rush Rally Racing seems to be a throwback to 16-bit era racers like Micro Machines. It sports a 2D, top-down view, and the footage above brags that the game features "no realistic backgrounds" and "no sponsored cars" -- just "fun, retro gameplay."

Though the publisher appears to be rooted in Europe, Rush Rush Rally Racing will be region free -- meaning it should run on just about any Dreamcast console you have lying around, regardless of where it came from. It also supports a number of the peripherals that helped define the Dreamcast before its premature demise, including rumble packs, VMUs, arcade sticks, and other third party controllers. There's even an online scoreboard, assuming you can still get your console to connect to the internet.

They're currently accepting preorders for Rush Rush Rally Racing over at redspotgames' online store. It'll set you back $22.00 when it arrives sometime next month.

Angel Senki is a free-to-play item-based role player from Q Entertainment, and will hit the Japanese PS3 Store next week.  The PS3 port (there’s already a PC version) will allow players to log in using their PSN account details, which then gets linked up to Q Entertainment’s online website.  Angel Senki on the PS3 sports a new controller-friendly interface with much better item select, with the company aiming to make money via online purchases.

Q’s previous venture into the world of item-based RPGs was AngelLoveOnline, which took over 120,000 downloads.

Sony clearly sees the free MMO market as a vitally important one, with the company’s Senior Vice President Kirita Tomiwa attending the announcement of Angel Senki personally. AndriaSang reports that Tomiwa gave thanks to Q Entertainment for increases the PlayStation Network user count with their previous game and said that he’s looking forward to the start of Angel Senki’s service.  We’ll get some screens once it goes live.
