Everything must come to an end, and it is official. Sony is finally ceasing production on the PSOne. While I’m not a big fan of them as a company, I have to give credit where credit is due. The original Playstation (all versions) has sold a ridiculous number of units, and the fact that it still sold up until almost the very end of the Playstation 2’s lifecycle really says something about the large variety of games that are available under the Playstation name. I am greatly impressed.

I reported this as a rumor close to a week ago, but it has officially been confirmed.
[quote]According to Nintendo, over 1,000 games for Sega’s Genesis console, released in 1989, will be added to the Revolution’s library. Joining them will be an undisclosed number of titles from the Hudson’s TurboGrafx console, also released in 1989 and codeveloped by electronics giant NEC. Though no specific titles were mentioned, Nintendo said it is taking a “best of” approach in selecting which games will come to the Revolution.[/quote]
WOOHOO!!!

Is coming to the DS! My only concern is that this will be coming out later this year. Will Twilight Princess outshine this one and reduce its sales, or will Phantom Hourglass be a major seller on the DS? Only time will tell, but this Nintendo fan is certainly excited.

To steal the words of a poster over at [url=http://www.joystiq.com/2006/03/25/blizzard-postpones-ghost-to-evaluate-next-gen-consoles/]Joystiq[/url], it seems that Starcraft Ghost has more or less been canned. This is no surprise to me really since Blizzard is one of the slowest developers on the planet, but it’s more than worth it. After all, Warcraft 3 got completely scrapped after a year or so of development and was redone from the ground up because the idea they had just wasn’t working to their standards.
Blizzard will likely bring this game out midway though the next generation’s life cycle. At least, that’s my guess.
Just when we thought the video game industry couldn’t be any stupider in their choice of games that get put on the shelves. [i]Mary Kate and Ashley: Sweet Sixteen[/i] and [i]Britney’s Dance Beat[/i] were more than enough. I don’t know what made them think that a [i]Desperate Housewives[/i] video game was a good idea. I guess Buena Vista is getting desperate in its own right.
