Visteon Running Contest to Promote Dockable Game Boy System
 Visteon Corporation is running a summer contest to promote the Visteon Game Boy Advance DVD/video game system that docks into a vehicle's headliner. You can see Mario playing in the photograph on the right. Visteon says the game system can easily be undocked and used in other locations. Here is some scoop about the Best Summer Road Trips contest, which runs May 15 through Sept. 8, 2006, and is open to the first 1,000 eligible entrants.
To enter the free Visteon contest, vacationers ages -- 18 and older -- must document their 2006 summer driving vacations through creative photography and written journal entries. Eligible entrants will receive a Nintendo "Mario" action figure and journal materials for use during their trips. Photography submitted as the participants' final entries must include the "Mario" action figure in front of vacation landmarks.
Visteon will award a premium Dockable Entertainment featuring Game Boy(R) Advance DVD/video game system (total estimated retail value ["e.r.v."] $1,299 plus installation; installation value varies by region) as a Grand-Prize to each of the top three (3) vacation entries based on sites visited, driving distance, creative use of the "Mario" action figure in photos, and quality of written journal entries.

In addition to the Grand-Prize award program, Visteon will award Children's Prize Packages consisting of a 10-pack of assorted Nintendo(R) Game Boy(R) Advance video game titles (prize package e.r.v. $200) to ten (10) children ages six through 17 based on journals documenting their 2006 vacation road trip experiences (with parental consent and participation).
You can find out more about Visteon's Dockable Entertainment system here. That giant Mario is big but he isn't nearly as large as the one seen hanging out with Ronald McDonald last year.

Disney Plans Narnia Film and Game Debut in December
Disney Interactive, a publishing label of Buena Vista Games, Inc., has announced new details about its upcoming action/adventure title, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Inspired by the upcoming motion picture from Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media, the games will launch this holiday season, in conjunction with film's release.
UK software developer Traveller's Tales is currently creating the console and PSP titles, while Griptonite Games, the handheld entertainment division of Seattle-based Amaze Entertainment, is developing the titles for Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS. In the game, players enter the world of Narnia, a land frozen in a 100 year winter by the evil powers of the malevolent White Witch. In order to end the annual winter and free his people, the mighty lion Aslan invokes an ancient prophecy. It will become the destiny of four siblings from our world: Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie to work together and use their unique combat skills, weaponry and abilities to defeat the Witch and her armies to save Narnia. These four heroes must battle the evil forces of the White Witch by waging war against a vast variety of creatures, including Minotaurs, Minoboars, Cyclops, Werewolves, Wraiths, Ankleslicers, Wolves, Boggles and more. These creatures are modeled in the game after the characters being created for the motion picture, by New Zealand-based Weta Workshop, a digital and visual effects company whose credits include Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, Van Helsing and I, Robot. Additional game features include puzzle solving, two-player action featuring all four characters, and real film footage. The film will be released December 9, 2005.
