Featured ShackReviews:

The always-thorough SixDemonBag gives a detailed review of Arkane's Arx Fatalis (PC), which he considers a bit underrated.
Guava D finds Capcom's Resident Evil 4 (GCN) essentially flawless.

I'm still playing through Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (GBA). It is immensely enjoyable. I've also spent some time with Osu! Takae! Ouendan! (DS) and Electroplankton (DS).

I'm really looking forward to Burnout Legends for PSP. Looks great, so far the reviews have been great as well. Pre-ordered it in full on Friday and picking it up as soon as I can on Tuesday when its released. Just wished it had an Infrastructure muliplayer mode other than the Ad-Hoc mode with other PSP players around you. Oh well...

  yeah I am thinking about picking up a PsP and that game. That is too bad though you can't play on the net. It is really the only PsP game I want so far.

    I admit I was one of the ones ripping on the DS at E3 2004. I wasn't exactly super-hyped for PSP, but I did think it was going to have more to offer than the DS. I thought Nintendo was making a big mistake.
    
    Boy, was I ever wrong. At this year's E3, I still didn't own a DS, but the very first thing I did after E3 was over was to buy one immediately. I seriously just couldn't even believe how much great stuff there was at Nintendo's booth. I was blindsided by awesome games and I feel like a jerk for my early hasty conclusions.
