Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

No Examiner today; my attention was elsewhere. Where else? Behold:

From RipTen:

RipTen Review: Crazy Taxi (XBLA) – A recurring source of controversy among video game fans these days is the use of in-game advertising and product placement by developers and publishers, with many feeling that it intrudes on the experience and provides no benefit to the consumer. And while such things are typically frowned upon, is it possible that removing the licensed elements of what is widely regarded to be a good game can actually hurt the product?

From The Mega Man Network:

Own Your Own Mega Man Cutaway Figure – A touch creepy, perhaps, but an interesting work of art you can have in your very own home (for a price)!
