A huge party is to be organized in Oslo by Opera Software ASA to celebrate the release of the Opera-powered Wii Internet Channel in April.

About DragonForce
DragonForce were the metal sensation of 2006, making their mark right across the globe with a colossal run of shows to promote one of the year's most remarkable releases.
Their latest album, Inhuman Rampage, left the press in a state of critical meltdown. "While most bands want to be bigger than Metallica, DragonForce have the capacity to exceed Star Wars, gushed the UK's Metal Hammer magazine. How DragonForce will ever top this album remains to be seen, agreed its gobsmacked sister title, Classic Rock. It makes Manowar sound like St Winifred's Girls School Choir." Kerrang! had already got in on the act, declaring: "DragonForce are only getting bigger". Prepare for the onslaught. For latest details, go to www.dragonforce.com.
