1. Meant to mention this yesterday, but if you haven’t seen it, Newgrounds has an amusing Flash movie up called Paper Mario and The Hat Of Fire.
2. New Sonic 360 screens!

   Er, make that “screen.”

   Um, actually, make that “art piece.”

   Anyway, nice shot of the three player characters, anyway.

3. GameSpot chats up the 360 with Peter Moore. He seems a little more fearful for Wii now than in the past. Also:

   “(Halo 3) is coming out in 2007. The game is going to be even a quantum leap from Halo 2. We’ve allowed Bungie to really get this game to the next level, as Halo 2 was from Halo, Halo 3 must be from Halo 2. The multiplayer aspects of it must continue to redefine the way we play games.”

4. Miyamoto discusses Link as a righty.

   Now, maybe I’m reading too much into this, but… reversed? Does this mean that the two versions are going to have opposite map layouts? If so, that might be an interesting hook to get some people to buy both versions…

   It would make for an interesting Player’s Guide, too. “Take the second door on your right… unless you’re playing the GameCube, then you want the second door on your left.”

5. GameDaily gives its impressions on Superman Returns. And I SO wish I could share the story Red told me regarding this game at E3…
6. N-Philes reviews… Garfield and His Nine Lives?!

   I played the Search For Pooky by these same developers, and I imagine the review is right on here. Definitely a title made for kids, I don’t think older gamers are going to get much out of it, save for maybe those who might be beginners themselves. I can’t even say this is worth the 20 bucks, give or take, that stores around here seem to charge for it, unless Jr. really wants it.

   If you’re a Garfield fan, though, I would recommend either hoping that Garfield: Caught in the Act shows up on the Genesis Virtual Console selection, or maybe the upcoming(?) games based on Tale of Two Kitties, which looks promising.
