This is the first of what will be a weekly round-up of what we’ve written. Starting next week, it will include links to everything from the previous seven days - but since this is the first one, it’s going to include everything we’ve written since the day we launched. Hit the jump for all of it, linked and organized - but be warned, there are a lot of links to go through.

That is a huge picture, and a huge list of links. Could you recommend some for me?
Jesus christ. That is way more than I think we ever had at Arrogantics. Great job guys.
Let’s see. It looks like you’ve already seen it, but backflip’s post on Game Fuel is good (and the related ad)…then there’s lawl’s Two Worlds Review (make sure to read the comments for added hilarity).
The Halo 3 marketing in Korea is pretty crazy and funny, here’s Part 1 and Part 2 - the second is my favorite. If you’ve sen the Halo 3 “Museum” trailer make sure to watch the parody, which is well done and pretty hilarious. There are also plenty of game play videos and trailers, so if you’re looking forward to Killzone 2, Rock Band, Halo Wars, The Simpson’s Game, Left 4 Dead, Silent Hill 5, or Ninja Gaiden 2 watch the videos in their respective posts.
As for basic news, here are some good ones - the Viva Pinata proposal, Saturo Iwata on Wii Sports 2, the real Guitar Hero guitar, Manhunt 2 uncut (and how to get it if you aren’t in Holland), Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law no longer exclusive, Free games, Fox on XBLM, quantity over quality, EA Playground for the Wii and DS, the possibility of BioShock 2, and Joust: The Movie.
Hopefully that’s a more digestible chunk of links, but I’m sure I’ve missed stuff since almost all of it is worth reading.
Great job Zizzy and the rest… I am really enjoying your website and look forward to contributing more to it in the future….. Keep it up and I hope to maybe write some articles for you guys sometime if that would be cool…. later
Thanks Matt, it’s great to hear feedback, especially when it’s so positive ;).
