Late Night Consoling

With the Game Developers Conference now over and E3 just around the corner, things should simmer down until the lead up to the big event. Maarten and I will be in Los Angeles for a full week and Steve will join us at some point to do his little business dealings. We have a couple of neat tricks up our sleeves for the event, so I'm really anxious for May to roll around. Oh hey, you know what I realized today? The PSP is less than two weeks away from launch. Doesn't that seem weird? I can't wait!

  • New N-Gage at E3

    Gerard Wiener, general manager of Nokia's games business program, said to expect something new from the company at this year's E3. "We will be making a significant announcement at E3 regarding our next generation," he said. It appears from other comments he made that we will see new hardware that offers enhanced graphics and more features.
  • Euro PSP Possibly in Summer

    According to a source inside Sony, the company held an internal briefing where it told its employees that the PSP probably won't launch in that region until the summer. They are "at least a few months away," according to the source, citing June as the earliest possible release window.

Console Game Of The Evening [Submit Yours!]

Raiders of the Lost Ark for the Atari 2600. "The very first action-adventure, in where you run around killing snakes with your whip, searching for the Ark of the Covenant. And because you had to use both joysticks to control Indy, it was especially suited for coop play." (submitted by Tissen).

  • Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
    Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
    Xbox2 will be one of my favorite flings
    These are a few of my favorite things

    Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
    Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
    Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
    These are a few of my favorite things

    Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
    Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
    Silver white winters that melt into springs
    These are a few of my favorite things

    When the dog bites
    When the bee stings
    When I'm feeling sad
    I simply remember my favorite things
    And then I don't feel so bad
