I knew Brian Reynolds wouldn't dissapoint. He was, after all, the main force behind Civilization II and Alpha Centauri (they are my two favorite games which Sid Meier worked on...). Sure, Sid (well, he didn't really make it, so I can excuse him... it was Jeff Briggs...) dissapointed with Civilization III, which REALLY dissapointed me, but this one didn't... and Reynolds did it all on his own! Or, at least, with no Sid... very impressive. It shows how good he is...
What is it? Take Age of Empires. Then add more Civilization than AoE had. A lot more. And add some new ideas that drastically change gameplay -- cities, territory (spread by cities), attrition in enemy territory, a deep tech tree, etc... (read the review!) and you're left with a RTS thats both Civ-ish and great! And more fun than AoE... sure AoE was alright, but it got boring. Not enough variety of game types... or races or units... its a fun game, sure, but just not on the level I was expecting it to be on. This comes closer... though its very different.
Check it out, it's not a liscensed accesory it seems, but finally someone thought of making a GBA wireless adapter instead of using a link cable. Apparently it will send the data at 2.4 ghz, or something like that, just like Wavebird. Since it's external and not something you have to install, it'll be sold in stores. This guy is cool. I do believe this is something I will indeed want. Now then, how long before this guy's SECOND innovation is copied by Nintendo?
If you have any questions for the developers of the Italian Job or Soul Calibur 2 post them here before Friday. Italian Job questions would help more since not as many people would submit questions about that game compared to SC2. Thanks.
Recent rumors coming out of Nintendo Europe have positioned a GameCube sequel to the Nintendo 64's Paper Mario for some time next year.
Presumably, it should be complete and ready to hit retail some time by the the second quarter of the year. While this is certainly welcome news, this may quash any expectations of a Mario/RPG collaboration between Nintendo and Square-Enix. (wj)

Wow, that would be awesome, but I doubt it's true. First of all, q2 ends in July. If it's coming out so soon then why didn't Nintendo show it off at E3? I suppose it's just Nintendojo reporting false information again.
Or are you one of those idiots who still actually buys music?
So the questions is it Imoral to download free music off kazaa or morpheous?
My opinion is that the music labels have been robbing the public off with 7 cent cds being sold for 23-30 bucks, When in reality you probaily just want 1-2 songs.
So I have no second thoughts to burning music for my personal use.It sounds good and it just as clear as store bought cds, the good thing is I dont have to leave home and its free, except the blank cds.
The simple fact is the industry was to slow to advance into the information age that now it is being shafted for it.
We're holding a post-E3 giveaway at N-Philes, but something is wrong with the form page we are using for it. Can anyone look at the source code and see if there are any problems?
