Really though, I'm honored to be a part of the Shack team as well as the Shack community. The comments here are leagues better than those on most gaming sites. And now, here are your briefs.

Today we learn about Link's debut on the Nintendo DS, mysterious Twisted Metal action, a turnaround for Fatal Inertia, Sega's creative minds, and Atari answering everyone's childhood dreams for a pony.

  • Sega's GameWorks still exists, publicists love puns

    A press release updating members of the media on the goings-on at Sega's GameWorks restaurants revealed many cleverly named multi-sauce initiatives on the company's part. With buzz words like "Ctrl Alt Eat" and "Sauce It To Me," who can resist (making fun of them)?
