This is the one I’ve been waiting for:

Nintendo will release Final Fantasy IV for the GBA in December

Appropriately enough, GameSpot this week added FFII (IV) to their list of The Greatest Games of All Time.

I’ll definitely be ready this winter to shed a tear for Palom and Porom and laugh at the femmy antics of the Spoony Bard. Only problem is that Gamespot’s thing had me all excited to dust off my Playstation version of FFIV. Now it’ll just seem like wasted effort.

Sam and Max have been resurrected by the team that was supposed to be doing their sequel at Lucasarts! Telltale Games will be releasing episodic games based on the characters.

Sam & Max Hit the Road is one of my favorite games of all time. I am thrillified down to my delicatesticles.

Check out 1UP’s extensive coverage of the Nintendo Revolution controller, finally revealed. I think my reaction will prove to be typical: an initial “what the holy hell” followed by gradual acceptance followed by intrigue at the possibilities. I’m sure Aric thinks it’s stupid, so I’ll let him have the first crack. Rant away, sir.
