The RipTen/Examiner/MMN Revue for Thursday, August 12th
Today was a little more productive. I hope tomorrow is even more so.
From RipTen:
New CSI Games? Ubisoft is on the Case… – This is perhaps my favorite of the day; click to see why. Even if you aren’t a fan of CSI, hopefully the show’s pop-culture relevance will allow you to get the joke.
PSP, Phone Home? – More power to them, I guess. I have no real interest in a PSP that’s also a phone. But then, I already have a first-model PSP and an iPhone, so I may actually be ahead of having a hybrid, at least in some way.
Father Ends Weekend Visit with Son by Stealing & Selling His Games – Class act, really. What bugs me most is that the local news which covered the story focused far more on the dad, and we don’t even know if the kid is getting his stuff back.
From the Toronto Video Game Examiner:
Learn the fine art of making game music at chiptune workshop in Toronto this Sunday – I’d love to check this out for myself, despite not knowing the first thing about music. Alas, I have prior commitments.
Take on Toronto in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game – I posted this yesterday, but just in case anyone missed it. There’s a certain thrill to seeing a game based on where you live, and I hope that this one does it justice.
From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:
Nintendo provides new super challenges for New Super Mario Bros. Wii players – Nintendo, or at least Nintendo of Europe, has decided to inject some excitement into a little-known game called New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Unfortunately, doing so also tends to highlight the game’s lack of online leaderboards, Achievements, and the like, to say nothing of the Wii’s in general. Hopefully whatever comes next will bring something comparable.
Get Super Scribblenauts wallpaper now, “Adjectivized” headphones when you pre-order – Last year, pre-ordering Scribblenauts would yield Maxwell’s red rooster hat. This year, it yields his headphones. What comes next?
From The Mega Man Network:
