Two stories from Examiner today, one from Toronto Video Game Examiner, the other from Nintendo Canada Examiner:

Toronto video game deals for the week of August 6th to August 12th, 2010

Report from Nintendo of Canada’s Metroid: Other M preview event

The second is a bit long, but at least it’s thorough, I feel. My concern is mostly that I’m casting the game in too negative a light, but I really did enjoy it… that is, when I got to play it. Still, I’m looking forward to its release and hope I can get it when it comes out. That said, I’m still not looking forward to seeing those beginning cut scenes again…

Edit: I’ve revised the ending of the Metroid report, as Parish’s 1UP preview has given me greater optimism.

As some of you might have noticed, I’ve been retweeting the stories I do on RipTen, which among other links gets compiled into a digest here. On the other hand, maybe you haven’t noticed, and therein lies the question: would you all rather I continue posts like this one, which compiles the articles separately, or would you rather keep it with the Twitter feed stuff?

In addition to the above, here are the Toronto video game deals for the week of July 2nd to July 8th, 2010 on Examiner.
