Fox Business sat down with EA’s John Riccitiello where he discussed everything about EA.

He spoke about the upcoming holiday season and how he is confident that EA will see a jump in sales for Christmas season.

They also talk about The Beatles: Rock Band, online market in China, Bioware, and how much he loves Dead Space.

I love how he says, “We don’t make things people have to have, we make things people want to have.” I don’t know, I have to have Dragon Age Origins and quite a few other upcoming games.

My brother was enamored of “If You Give a Moose a Muffin” book when he was little, and I remember that we were always reading it in my house.  This is a great opportunity to stock up on some fun books that kids will enjoy.

The “If You Give…” books and the plush toys are the newest offering from the Kohl’s Cares for Kids® program. Through the Kohl’s Cares for Kids® program, Kohl’s gives 100 percent of the net profit from the sale of the books and plush toys to benefit children’s health and education initiatives nationwide. Since the program’s inception in 2000, Kohl’s has turned $5 merchandise into more than $126 million to help make a positive difference in the lives of children.

“We know our customers are looking for ways to stretch their budgets now and during the upcoming holiday season. These cherished children’s books and plush toys offer an incredible value at just $5 each,” said Julie Gardner, executive vice president and chief marketing officer of Kohl’s Department Stores. “What’s best about our Kohl’s Cares for Kids® program is that you can feel good giving these gifts because the net profit goes to children’s health and education initiatives nationwide.”

“If You Give a Mouse a Cookie,” was published in 1985 and launched the “If You Give…” series, which have become children’s favorites. The stories feature a comedic chain of events and use playful language along with engaging illustrations that make them an enjoyable read for both children and adults.

“I’m really excited to work with the Kohl’s Cares for Kids® program. It is so rewarding to know that my books are making a difference for children nationwide,” said Laura Numeroff.

In addition to the merchandise program, Kohl’s Cares for Kids® features the Kohl’s Kids Who Care® Scholarship Program, which recognized more than 2,000 young volunteers in 2009 with a total of $350,000 in scholarships and prizes; the A-Team Program, which encourages associate volunteerism and provided more than $5.6 million in grants to youth-focused nonprofit organizations in 2008; and fundraising gift cards for schools and youth-serving organizations.

The next Kohl’s Cares for Kids program hits stores nationwide and Kohls.com at the end of December.

Wow is it the start of holiday game season already? I saw Wii Fit Plus being demoed at Long Beach Comic Con and thought, oh that will be out in a month or so. According to the email I received today, I am wrong. Wii Fit Plus launched on October 4th. Meaning the new workout game for the Wii should be in retail stores now.

Wii Fit Plus has 20 new activities including skateboarding and a Segway course. Workouts can be set for any duration and players will see an estimated amount of calories burned during their workout. A cute new feature is the ability to weight your pets, awww fido has to go on a diet!

“As the fast pace of the holiday season kicks in, Wii Fit Plus delivers an unbeatable at-home fitness option,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Whether people have specific fitness goals or just want a fun way to stay active, they can create a personalized, productive workout routine that they’ll actually look forward to each day.”

The title is $19.99 by itself or $99.99 with the balance board.

OK, maybe NOT a showdown but they are certainly making us spoiled for choice this coming holiday season. VIZ Media keeps on shelling out the goods for November’s stellar line-up, and the latest tidbit that appeared in my inbox is sure to set some mouths drooling!

Only those who are addicted to NARUTO, POKÉMON, BLEACH and NANA will be the happiest of those reading this. Be prepared for some new additions to your collection – or printout a list and leave it lying around for your loved ones to see as a subtle hint. OK, so getting on with it – what’s in store for your collection? I hope you’re comfortable.

If you’re a NARUTO buff, prepare yourself for 3 attacks on your wallet – NARUTO Shippuden The Movie, NARUTO Shippuden (Volume 3), and NARUTO UNCUT (Season 1, Volume 2). You can read about the NARUTO Shippuden movie here, but what about NARUTO Shippuden (Volume 3) and NARUTO UNCUT?

NARUTO Shippuden (Volume 3) sees Team Kakashi having to save Gaara of the Sand, who has been kidnapped. Sakura impresses everyone with her medic ninja skills which she uses on Kankuro, while Granny Chiyo of the Sand decides to accompany the rescue team on their search for Gaara. But as they are making their way towards the Akatsuki lair, what happens when they bump into their old enemy Itachi Uchiha?

NARUTO UNCUT (Season 1, Volume 2) has Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura enduring deadly foes and dark powers as the Chunin Exams in the Forest of Death are raging on. They are searching for the Heaven and Earth scrolls, however Sasuke needs to watch himself – evil is after him! To make matters even better, the genin must take each other on in one-to-one battles – but will Naruto be able to withstand the pressure of not only facing his friends, but winning?

BLEACH aficionados prepare yourselves for BLEACH UNCUT (Box Set 4, Part 1) and BLEACH Volume 22.

BLEACH UNCUT (Box Set 4, Part 1) has Ichigo and his friends returning to the World of the Living from the Soul Society, and attempting to get back to normality. But when abductions start to occur, it’s up to them to figure out what’s going on. And Soul Reapers arrive to find out more about a clan known as Bounts. Will they all be able to stop the Bount leader from stealing peoples souls and continue to feed his ambitions?

BLEACH Volume 22 has the Soul Reapers sticking around, including Rangiku Matsumoto. They are around to help battle the Bounts. When they enter the clans cave hideout it’s soon realised they’ve wandered into a trap, and Ichigo and friends have to come to the rescue. When Ichigo comes face to face with the Bount leader Kariya, he needs to call upon his bankai if he wants to survive. And finally, Uryû must recover his lost powers as well.
