First, I’d like to direct your attention to two reviews, my MGS4 and my Space Invaders Extreme one. I enjoyed writing the MGS4 review, but not because I enjoyed the series, but how I managed to not criticize the game to death. It’s very easy to attack a game for its faults, especially a AAA game with valid faults. Anyways, please critique, compliment or comment.

So what is CAG? CAG is CheapAssGamer. They’ve launched a new site this week and since I received both Lost Odyssey and Resistance: Fall of Man this week as well, I thought it would be nice to talk about how awesome CAG is.

I’m sure you’ve heard that the load times for Lost Odyssey are pretty much balls. Turns out Micro$oft had sent out Dev copies of the game to reviewers… FAIL!

Gamespot will re-evaluate the game once they purchase the retail version.

My regular work week was shortened in honor of Chinese New Year. (Happy Chinese New Year to the asian audience.)

I haven’t played many grandiose games this week. Devil May Cry 4 is still with FutureShop and I have no idea when it’ll be arriving. I’m still trudging through Odin Sphere, but I’m so glad I’m not playing this game exclusively; it would have made me numb. I wrapped up my Wipeout: Pulse review which should be online this coming Tuesday for the game’s U.S. release.

While I’m not 100% sold on Lost Odyssey yet, repeated exposure to ads like the one below would surely help. The use of Jefferson Airplane’s “The White Rabbit” was a surreal choice; much like the use of “Mad World” for the Gears of War ad.

Microsoft’s advertisement agency is damn good. 

Does the following description sound familliar?

• Turn-based combat
• Random Encounters
• 40 hours of “gameplay”
• Awesome cutscenes
• 4 Discs
