Late Night Consoling

I'm currently playing through Medal of Honor: Allied Assault on the PC, and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. One thing that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere is just how much this feels like a Medal of Honor game. Having played both the original and MoH: Underground, I can safely say that if nothing else, this is a fine addition to the series.
  • Speaking of Medal of Honor, PS2.IGN has some new shots up from MoH: Frontline, the series' PS2 debut. Ignore that "February or March" comment though - it won't be out until June.
  • GameSpot has some new details and shots online from Terminator: Dawn of Fate, the upcoming FPS for PS2 and Xbox. Also, a Q&A with the game's producer can be found at Xbox.IGN.
  • Um...okay? Capcom has announced that they are planning on releasing no less than five Resident Evil games for the GameCube in 2002. Most of these will of course just be cookie-cutter ports of the existing games.
  • This isn't too surprising...Volition and THQ have announced that Summoner 2 is in the works, and will take place 20 years after the original.
  • Microsoft is gearing up for their Japanese Xbox launch, and they recently held a press event to show off their Japanese-only game Have a Mice Day (yes, that's really what it's called).
  • Cube.IGN has posted some new media from Rune, the upcoming GameCube RPG from From Software. Let's hope it's nothing like King's Field (ick).
  • In true Sega fashion, a new revision of Virtua Fighter 4 is headed to Japanese arcades. It's this version (dubbed "C") that will be ported to the PS2, and will apparently use the PS2 HDD to save data, although why such data can't be stored on a memory card is a mystery to me.
  • Good lord, yet another special edition Game Boy Advance has shipped in Japan, this time for the release of King of Fighters EX Neoblood. There's also a Silver colored one now available as well.
  • GameSpot has posted a new preview of Deus Ex: The Conspiracy, the port of the wonderful PC game that has been reworked slightly for the PS2.
  • Sony is now selling a PSOne package that comes with a bundled LCD monitor. You'll still need a power adapter to play it anywhere, but they're also shipping an adapter to let you plug it into any car's lighter (or DC outlet...do cars still come with cigarette lighters, or is that anti-PC?).
Console Game of the Evening: Donkey Kong 64 for the N64. Not everyone liked this game, but I loved it, and played it all the way to the end.
