WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday refused to let California regulate the sale or rental of violent video games to children, saying governments do not have the power to "restrict the ideas to which children may be exposed" despite complaints about graphic violence.

Mortal Kombat - Warner Bros. Interactive On a 7-2 vote, the high court upheld a federal appeals court decision to throw out the state's ban on the sale or rental of violent video games to minors. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Sacramento had ruled that the law violated minors' rights under the First Amendment, and the high court agreed.

"No doubt a state possesses legitimate power to protect children from harm," said Justice Antonin Scalia, who

Global thermonuclear war is coming back to a theater near you. And, fittingly, a gamer is helping make it happen.

Deadline reports that the 1983 film 'WarGames' is getting rebooted by MGM, who have tapped Seth Gordon -- the man behind the acclaimed video game documentary 'The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters' -- to direct.

It's great news for fans of the original. Starring Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy, 'WarGames' tells the story of a young computer geek who hacks into a government network to play some games and accidentally triggers World War III.  Not only was it
one of the first mainstream Hollywood hits to tap into the burgeoning field of tech hacking and online gaming (it's

The Mario Marathon brothers It might not be as famous as the Boston Marathon, but a marathon taking place in the Mushroom Kingdom sounds like a lot more fun.

A group of civic-minded -- and seriously dedicated -- Nintendo fans have kicked off Mario Marathon 4, a fund-raising effort for the Child's Play Charity, which provides hospitalized children with toys and games.

Started in 2008, the annual event (which is broadcast live online) features a group of gamers who attempt to complete a series of levels from Nintendo's popular Super Mario games.

Sounds easy, right? Of course, there's a twist: As donations increase, so do the number of levels the group has to complete -- and they don't stop until all of the levels are

Quoth the muggle, "Pottermore." Harry Potter is going digital, but he's bypassing the gaming world for the literary one.

Despite early reports - and an alleged leaked memo - that indicated Pottermore would be an online game with real world prizes, author J.K. Rowling announced a different sort of experience Thursday morning with the formal unveiling of the site.

Pottermore will be the digital home to Harry, Ron, Hermione and the other characters from the hit book and film series - and the only place you'll be able to buy an eBook
version of the tomes, but it will offer plenty of extras for readers.

And while it won't be a Potterized "World of Warcraft," it will have some gaming elements.

Harry Potter - Warner Bros./EA

For the past few weeks, the Web has been buzzing about J. K. Rowling's mysterious Pottermore project. And while details won't be officially unveiled until Thursday, all signs are pointing to it being an online game revolving around the Harry Potter universe.

The memo says Thursday's announcement, which will come via YouTube, will
discuss the project's partners and focus on what people can find - particularly
quills and wands hidden around the U.S. and U.K.
