Nice list. Nothing megaton, but as Nintendo has shown, lighting up the internet doesn't make for evergreen games.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

thanks. Good to know there wasn't a DS2 announcement.

I agree, but For me Metriod Other M out does SMG2. I am interested on this new take even if it does end up not as good as I hope.



Great announcements in my opinion, look at that May/June.. Amazing!
