I slapped myself just to make sure that I wasn’t dreaming. Sega has announced that ESPN NKL 2K5 will be priced at $19.99, which will hit stores on August 24 for the Xbox and PS2. Sources from EB Games have confirmed the price of $19.99 to be absolutely TRUE!! So get your game face on, cause this is definitely a game to get.

So we are back at home after a very long vacation and I am glad to be back. It was nice being offline for an entire week though. I forget how much of my time is spent doing online related activities. I filled that gap with trips to the magical kingdom they call Disneyland and if any of you were there you may have seen me sporting my Snackbar Games shirt. At any rate, the much needed break was well spent and I feel refreshed. Did I mention that I scored a Classic NES GBASP and joined the rank and file of mobile gamers everywhere? I spent way too much time playing Legend of Zelda though and I am loving it. It took me a few minutes to stop moving the control all over the place when I played though. Fun stuff this mobile gaming is.

I notice that Pickle tried to turn the site “Green” while I was gone. After the antics that almost ensued while I was on my honeymoon, does he think I am going to leave it wide open for him to modify while I am on vacation? I think not.

New Splinter Cell: PT multiplayer maps are available for download. Make sure to pick them up, though there is a five dollar charge for both maps. Why? Well because paying 50 bones for a game just isn’t enough.

Phat happy birthday to Pretz today. We have known each other since we were kids, and today he has a plethora of pinatas!

You are THE man Marco!
