Whatcha Listening To? Like, Right Now?
11:40PM Brian Ashcraft | To: Crecente From: Bashcraft Man, it’s Monday! And a pretty quiet Monday, post holiday. Went to my kid’s soccer practice, where another little kid crapped in his pants and had to be taken off the field by the coach. Ah, yes, youth. Been listening to a lot of Bowie recently, a lot — well, up to Scary Monsters, after which he seemed to lose the plot for a while (warm fuzzy Labyrinth soundtrack memories aside). Heroes just might be in my top five albums of all time… I always seem to go in phases where I begin listening to one artist or genre, listen to that to death and then move on………. What’s on your playlist? Gonna need some Tunes to listen to on the plane.

11:20PM Luke Plunkett | Some SIlent Hill Homecoming gameplay footage. To head your whining off at the pass: yes, the graphics look like a PS2 on a bad day, but this is supposedly taken from very early code. Yes, there’s a narrator. Guy’s from a Russian mag, Igromania. So he’s speaking Russian. Just enjoy the fact you get double the subtitles and hear the game called “Saileent Heeeeeeeeeeeeaall” and you’ll get through the next 13:29 just fine. More »

Well, that’s going to change — THQ is localizing multiplatform based-on-the-movie WALL-E game for the Middle East. This is a first! According to THQ export sales manager Luke Keighran: We are delighted to be part of this, launching an Arabic game is every Arab gamers’ wish. This is a great opportunity for us to grow further in promising territories like Saudi Arabia and Egypt, and a solid demonstration of our commitment to the Middle East market…we hope it will be the first of a long line up for Arabic titles in the future… There are only few games that would suit the Middle East’s morals more than WALL.E. The game depicts family virtues in a fun adventurous story line immersing the players in a world of passionate pursuit for adventure. More »Chrono Trigger DS Screens
