- Allspark brings lots of TransFormers picture links, including Revoltech Convoy(Optimus Prime)(too Pat Lee-esque for my taste), the Target-exclusive Classics Ultra Magnus and Skywarp(damned Target exclusives…), Classics Jetfire, and the slightly-disturbing Kiss-Play Hot Rodimus.

What is this? A historical Sony PS3 game?
Nah, just the new DOA: Xtreme 2 trailer.
The Cheesecake Factory has nothing on this video, probably why I can’t stop laughing at it.
…that, and the “physics” simply defy imagination.
- GameSpot has some impressions of Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin’s multiplayer, new movies, and a look at the preorder box set, which seems to imply that it will be available at brick-and-mortar stores “around the country,” which still leaves Canada in question. Dangit.
EB replied to my inquiry, but they weren’t much help; I was told I ought to ask the same stores who don’t have a clue.
In the meantime, at least Game|Life has a preview of the timeline.
- IGN reviews Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties for the Nintendo DS, along with screens and video. Sigh. Might be good for the youngest of young ones, but here’s hoping the PS2 one is decent. Of course, as usual, the common man seems to like it more than IGN’s reviewers, so…
- GameSpy gives Family Guy: The Video Game for the PSP a two-star review(“Fair”), and also interviews Patrick Warburton on his role in the game from the show.
Sounds like it’d be worth a rental, but something I’ve wondered in regards to the repetitive soundbytes: can they not just make a ton of these, so that the chance of them getting repetitive is greatly reduced?
- *cues “wholesome” music* N-Philes winds back the clock and takes a look back at a simpler time. A time when families had values, children had innocence, and life was good.
Join us, as we take a look back at the heart-warming story of a boy… A Boy and His Blob.

- Too good.
Friend of mine, goes by Wolf(maybe you know him, maybe you don’t) has been rather outspoken lately in regards to just how dull a lot of games are these days, especially in comparing western fantasy to eastern.
Well, Aeropause has taken a look at the color of the next generation, and reached a simple conclusion:
Joystiq excerpts from the article: “Console developers have 16.7 million colors to choose from! Why are they still using predominantly greys and browns? This color scheme even seems to have spread outside of first person shooters and into other genres.”
Me, I support blue skies, myself. I love a good sunset or nighttime as much as anyone, but…
- Funny thing about that thing on the new Ace Attorney‘s arm…
- Oh, this is good.
EA sticks Sony with their hotel bills.
Pretty sneaky thing to do there, EA. But then, that’s how you like to play, isn’t it?
- GameVideos has an interview with Castlevania’s daddy, Mr. Koji Igarashi, and one of my favorite guys to be interviewed.
- 1UP.com has a feature on the Curse of the Sequels, looking at some games that broke from what their predecessors established.
Frankly, I only really cared about two entries: the first, Metal Gear Solid 2, and the last, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.
- Toast T. Frog has a new Retronauts up, this time about the most evil of all Castlevania enemies, the evil Medusaaaaaaaa!
