I’m wanting to get one, now more then ever. I’m not really sure why I want one now more then ever, but I do. And yes, they are backwards compatible Robert (some what). I wonder how much the bundle will cost.

Lost Planet Ships For PS3
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008
Just in case you have a PS3 and not a 360, or chose not to get it for the 360, now is your chance to get Lost Planet. I never played Lost Planet, but it seems radical enough. Shooting stuff and running around in snow and what not.

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008IGN has a nice preview up for Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. Dawn of the New World is a sequel to the original Tales of Symphonia for the GCN. It’s set two years after the events of the original.
Something has gone wrong with the unification of the worlds. There should be balance. Peace. But the climates are out of tune — deserts have frozen over, massive lakes dried up — and nobody is certain why. To make matters worse, the people of the Sylvarant and Tethe’alla are at odds with one another and war looms. You play as the 16-year-old blonde boy Emil Castagnier, described by Namco as indecisive, whose parents were recently killed. One day Emil hears a calling and follows it into the mountains, where he meets Marta Lualdi, a 15-year-old tomboy whose mother was also killed in the unification of the two worlds. In a surprise twist, the characters learn that it was Lloyd Irving who was indirectly responsible for the deaths of their loved ones. “Emil believes that his parents were killed by Lloyd Irving. It’s a significant aspect of the story that will be addressed as players make their way through the game,” explains localization manager Minako Takahashi.” Together, they embark upon a quest to discover the truth behind the hearsay and also to bring balance back to the land.
Gametrailers.com Top 10 Games For 2008
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008I don’t know if I necessarily agree with their choices for the top ten, but it’s still a nice list of big games for 2008. I also think I’d be more pumped about some of the PS3 releases if I actually had a PS3.
Metal Gear Solid 4 Release Date – June 12, 2008
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008
Looks like the release date for Metal Gear Solid 4 has been set for June 12th. This news comes from Destination PlayStation, a retailer conference for Playstation goods. Yes, June 12 is a Thursday, but stranger things have happened. Also, apparently there is bundle coming out that contains MGS4, an 80GB PS3, and a DualShock 3. I’d totally buy that, if I have the money when the release date rolls around.
No official word from Konami, yet.
Mega64 – Intro, I Am Independent, Independent Inspirations
Monday, February 25th, 2008I thought I should post these for Thrashers, because I am independent. In fact, from now on I’m just going to play independent games.
Castle Crashers GDC Walkthrough
Monday, February 25th, 2008Castle Crashers looks really fun. I’m seriously pumped for this game, I can’t wait to play it co-op. I don’t see why it’s not getting more attention actually, it seems like it would be the perfect game to play with 3 other friends. Maybe the problem is it’s not 3D enough, I don’t know.

Puzzle Quest: Galactrix
Monday, February 25th, 2008
Normally, I’m not really into puzzle games, they just aren’t my thing. Ever since Tetris and Dr. Mario I just haven’t been able to get into them. So, when I picked up Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I knew it had RPG elements, I just wasn’t sure how it would all come together. Well, it all came together awesomely. In fact, so many people liked it that a sequel is now headed our way. Puzzle Quest: Galactrix is set in the future. Instead of round pieces like in the previous game, Galactrix uses hexagonally shaped pieces which play differently then in the original. Also, gravity plays a large role in this game, affecting how pieces move.
Virual Console Update – Kirby 64 and Psychosis
Monday, February 25th, 2008
This weeks VC updates are, I assume, pretty radical. I assume so because I haven’t actually played either of the games, so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. Kirby 64 was one I always wanted to play but never got around to buying…I guess now is my chance. Psychosis…I’ve never heard of, but with a name like that it has to be good, right? The TurboGrafx16 in general is an area I’m not very knowledgeable about, did a lot of people actually own these systems? None of my friends ever had one.
The whole press release is below…
