Hamburg  - VfB Stuttgart fired coach Armin Veh on Sunday after a string of poor Bundesliga results culminated in a 4-1 hammering at VfL Wolfsburg the previous day.

Stuttgart president Erwin Staudt spoke of a "difficult decision." He said that former Germany defender Markus Babbel was now in charge and would hopefully "bring the team back on to the road of success."

Babbel was an assistant coach in Stuttgart after ending his playing career there in 2007. He is now team manager while the daily training is to be conducted by Rainer Widmaier.

Veh, 47, came to Stuttgart in February 2006 and led them to a surprise Bundesliga title in 2007.

Hamburg - The Playstation Portable (PSP) and Nintendo DS have been on the market for over three years now, but the wave of new titles is not slowing down at all.

While perhaps this applies more to the DS than the PSP, there's plenty of new games to go around as stores gear up in November for the Christmas season. This month's titles include murder and manslaughter, crazy rabbits, sing-crazy wobbly creatures and even tips on how to cook.

One DS title that was a hit at the trade fairs is now finally coming to stores: Unsolved Crimes, set in 1970s New York, a vibrant backdrop for exciting mobster hunts. And that's exactly what the player has to do, stepping into the role of a freshly commissioned member of the homicide department.
