Evening Reading
by Xav de Matos, Jan 18, 2011 5:00pm PSTAs I sit here and type this the only thing I can think about are the piles of previews and interviews I have to write out for the rest of this week. When I say "rest of this week," what I really mean is tonight because I don't have any other time to do it. Thankfully, I'm taking a breather beginning Friday and returning on Monday night.
I haven't traveled for non-work related reasons in a while, so it will be nice to not have to worry about my schedule, or laptop, or voice recorder. Or taking piles of notes.
Speaking of notes, remember to jot down this note for yourself: "Keep refreshing Shacknews tomorrow morning because Nintendo is set to reveal its launch details for the 3DS in North America tomorrow."
Here's the video game news of the day from the Shack to tide you over while you wait until the morning:
- Portal 2 Packs PC-PS3 Cross-platform Play & Chat
- Square Announces Final Fantasy XIII-2 for PS3 and Xbox 360
- Bethesda Details 'Creation Engine' for Elder Scrolls V
- Report: Nintendo 3DS Will Have a Form of Region Protection
Here are some random musings from around the web:
New game releases of May 20-26
Killzone: Mercenary shoots onto Vita on September 10
Trion Worlds hit with more layoffs, Defiance team impacted
Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault defending Vita next week
Game & Wario was originally going to be pre-installed on Wii U

1. You can buy navigation apps that are better than hardware based ones. Look into Navigon or TomTom apps, they are excellent! These apps don't require ANY internet connection to use because they store the map data on your phone.
2. No clue but it's probably gonna be about the same as AT&T with the exception of the unlimited plan being probably $50 a month (not including voice, etc).
3. Wait for the Motorola Atrix unless you don't like AT&T, in which case there is probably some other phone out there.
4. People who use Google maps for navigation are stupid, it eats away at your data bill and as soon as you lose signal you are screwed.
5. Added benefit of the iOS navigation apps is they also work on the iPad, which is a pretty awesome bonus if you happen to have one (or will in the future).
