Wow… this week has been [b]quite[/b] hectic for me. I do apologize that I have not had the time to post any news, but I haven’t even had the time to play any video games. That’s right… I was [b]that[/b] busy. Between getting my car back from the shop, finding the money to pay the deductable, going to my grandfather’s funeral, and trying to put the little money I have into my upcoming wedding, I have been a busy man.
But wait! I have returned, and hopefully it’s to post some news more than once a week. The next couple of weeks should be good for me, so get ready to see more of my mug on this page.
I apologize again for my absence and lack of posting, but I will do my best to make up for it, especially with E3 drawing closer and closer.
It seems that Namco is disbanding the team that created Katamari Damacy and We Love Katamari. It’s looking like that means the last Katamari game will be the one on the PSP. I’m sure Katamari fans aren’t the happiest about this, but seriously? How many games do you need where you roll things up in a ball? One should have been sufficient.

Loki, a hack n slash RPG made by France’s [i]Cyanide Studios[/i] will be releasing in September of this year. It will be available on the PC.
Now, the [url=http://www.snackbar-games.com/wayne/news/loki.pdf]press release[/url] that I have does not specify if that is a European or American release. I hope perhaps we can get a simultaneous release, because the screenshots of this game look pretty nice. I think I could really enjoy a game like this, and it’s different enough (at least in environment) from the Diablo series that I could probably get right into it without getting bored a few hours in.
Wouldn’t this be something though if this game saw a European release before an American one? That just about never happens.

Maybe. Or it could be something completely new. It seems that Bioware has created a new development studio to work solely on a new MMO. There are no details on whether it’ll be based on a current franchise or if it will be something new. Still, after falling in love with Neverwinter Nights in recent history, and knowing how many people are still enjoying the game (just check out our NWN community forums!), I would think that this could actually give World of Warcraft a run for its money.
Whether it be an old franchise or new, I am quite excited. Hehehe!
Sorry… I’m a little giddy. My apologies.

Rumors going around are saying that Sony is planning on having a downloadable content service like the Revolution that will allow people to play PS1 and PS2 games on the PS3.
Ok, for starters, if you haven’t played all the PS1 games you are interested in at this point, there’s something wrong with you. You had TWO opportunities. I even picked up a couple of PS1 games I never got around to playing when I got my PS2. Still… the last thing I would do is play a PS1 game on a $500 machine.
Now, let’s not forget that the PS3 is expected to be backwards compatible anyhow. Ebay people! Finding these discs of these old games is not that hard. Unless they are shrink-wrapped, most of these games are affordable just to get used copies.
And seriously… those will be some huge freaking downloads! I suppose we can store those downloads on our internal hard drive. Oh wait… we’re not going to have one.
If this is even remotely true, then I truly believe that Sony has completely lost it. I mean… completely.
