The only sad part is, I don't have much left to anticipate after this!

While I am doubtless ignorant to many of the details, but surely the contract cannot have been a one-way decision. Perhaps there is an element of Warner Music underestimating the success of these videogames...

While at the other end of the spectrum valve continue to enhance their games free, even revisiting older ones such as Day of Defeat: Source.

I'm really looking forward to Spore, and wish it every success, though I feel it would be a great shame if it went down the Sims route of videogame whoredom. Thankfully it's hard to think of a comparison for 'The Sims 2: Ikea home stuff' in terms of bodyparts, notwithstanding a sudden take-off in shady biotech.

A fairly clear 'influence' but lacking the charm of Miis.

Are we set to see Brawl become the wii's biggest game, like melée before it? Perhaps not with all the casual games selling exceptionally well.
