New games abound!

I walked into ETA games shop today at the Mall and lo and behold, new releases were abound~! First up is the Guitar Hero on Tour for the Nintendo DS ($105), Space Invaders Extreme for the PSP ($50) and Battlefield: Bad Company (PS3) are on sale as of today.

The reviews for the games can be found here, here and here respectively.

One thing to note though, ETA has two versions of Battlefield: Bad Company available in their stores, The gold edition ($108) and normal casing ($103).

However, with Sony shutting down their Playstation Network for the next hours or so, B:BC online gaming will have to wait for a bit.

Happy hunting!

update: the PS network is on!

Evolution of Mario

Mario has undergone a lot of surgeries and, unlike us people on plastic, Mario is actually looking better and better the past two decades. Who said growing old makes you look all grey and wrinkly?

It's interesting to see that Nintendo gave Mario a somewhat 3D look in the 1987 Mario and went back to its one-sided 2D look in 1990. But hey, he's looking rather handsome in Super Mario Galaxy!
