Lack of updates

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. There was a hurricane and I just got my power restored. Then, I found out that the storm had fried my computer! Updating from my laptop now.

Anyway, it turns out the delay of Metroid Prime: Hunters was for good reason. It's going online! That's right, when the game hits early next year it'll be online! And here everyone thought it would never happen...

Thank You!

Thank you N-Man for inviting me. That's right if you need anything at all about the City of Heroes or the City Of Villains just say so. You can also see my Omega Web where I have stuff about the those two games.

New DS release dates!

Check out the release dates for some hot titles:

Oct. 24- Metroid Pinball
Nov. 14- Mario Kart DS
Nov. 28- Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time
Dec. 5- Animal Crossing DS

It's great to see some of these great games finally getting release dates! Unfortunately, though, Metroid Prime Hunters was delayed until next year.

Xbox 360 pricing!!!

As expected, there are two versions: the core model, and the premium model.

The core system will be $299.99, and will include a system, a faceplate, a wired controller, and a standard AV cable.

The premium system, at $399.99, will be HD ready and will include: a system, a 20 GB hard drive, a wireless controller, a faceplate, a headset, a component HD AV cable, an Ethernet cable, and for a limited time, a DVD remote.

If you ask me, the premium is the better buy. If you bought the core and then all that stuff separately, if would cost over $200 more, making the total over $400.

Nintendo news- Some good, some bad

First, I'll crush everyone's spirits. The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess has been officially delayed until 2006. They said they wanted to make the game as good as possible. That's always the excuse! Although, this was half expected as Nintendo loves to delay its games!

Now for some good news. Starting next week the DS gets a price drop to $129.99! This is great news if you don't already own one. Next, the Gameboy Micro will launch September 19th for $99.99! There, that should make up for the loss of Zelda!

I'd like to welcome Prince Omega to the Gameweb team! If you need to know about City of heroes, he's your man!

Name a handheld!

Ever heard of the GP32? Probably not. It's huge in Korea, but sadly it never made it to US shores. Well, Gamepark Holdings is making a new one, codenamed GPX2, and they want you to name it! The winner gets a GPX2 and bragging rights because they just named a video game system! Go the company's official site for details!

Here's a look at what you're naming:

World of Warcraft news from China

In China a married couple went to go play World of Warcraft at a local cyber cafe and left there baby at home. Then when getting home they found there baby dead. Turns out they left the baby alone for 4 hours in the House! Very sad story.

Also for unexplained reasons World of Warcraft has been banned in China for anyone under 18 years old.

This is just strange...

A South Korean man quit his job to spend more time playing video games. After playing for 50 hours straight, he collapsed from heart failure. One of the strangest game related stories I've heard in a while. Almost as weird as using your Gameboy as a homemade bomb.
