As I mentioned earlier, there was a free update to Cyborg Mice Arena and I updated the review to reflect that. Not much has changed, but if you’re interested to find out, click here to read my review.

Kart racers are usually a sign of a company not knowing what to do with a franchise anymore so I rarely pay attention to them. With the exception of the granddaddy of them all, Mario Kart, they are usually sub-par. If they aren’t, then you usually don’t care about the franchise anymore. I never played a Crash Bandicoot after Crash Team Racing came out, I haven’t played a Bomberman since they had one (except the XBLA version which wasn’t really “new”), etc. This is not one particular franchise but SEGA as a whole, so should I be worried about the end of the company?
I have updated the Upcoming Releases page with the games coming out this week. The only game of interest to me is Demon’s Souls which I have pre-ordered through Amazon and will definitely be playing. The new Star Wars Clone Wars game is also being released, but as you know from my demo impressions things are not looking so good. The Saw game is coming kind of out of nowhere (it was known that it was being worked on, but so little information and now BOOM here it is, not a good sign). Also, Sony’s often mentioned Afrika is coming out… yet not from Sony. Odd. What will all you be getting this week?
For my first DSiWare review I figured I’d go with something simple, something quick, something cheap. While it may not be a perfect example of what DSiWare can be all about, it is a good example of the kinds of games that should be downloads.
If you look up top on the page you will see something that says “Upcoming Releases.” I’m toying with the idea of showing games (and movies eventually) that are coming out of interest. It’s a work in progress, but I thought it could be useful. Leave comments here or on that page with your thoughts.
Coming home soon!

The vacation is almost over everyone, but don’t think I was just sitting idle this passed week. I did have some downtime that I spent writing a bunch of reviews and I also watched a few movies and TV shows with the family. And, of course, with all that travel time I played a lot of PSP so there will be more reviews coming as well. We’re on our way to 700 “page impressions” too (I’m told that’s what the kids these days call it, and “hits” is so 1997) and I couldn’t be happier. Expect that major overhaul to come very soon, I just don’t want to launch it before it’s ready. In the meantime I will gladly post index pages to be at the top after every review so you can easily navigate to them.
