Boy, sure has been dead around here, eh?

Yeah, that’s my segway into the actual review. Just shut up and hit the jump.

Gee, bet no one figured that the super-secret project from Bioware, Lucasarts, and EA was going to be a new Star Wars MMO, huh? Talk about coming out of left field! Not much is known about SWTOR (which has to be pronounced something like “swa-tor”, right?), but here’s what we do know (one possible spoiler ahead, so tread carefully):

So, if you happen to be a fan of those video game contraptions the kids love so much these days, this week is going to reach right into your pocket and make off with your wallet with the quickness: Fable 2, Far Cry 2, Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, and Legendary. If you’re a PS3 owner, Bioshock, Eternal Sonata, and Rock Band 2 are all finally available for Sony’s black box. And don’t even get me started on Build-a-Bear Workshop: A Friend Fur All Seasons.

Whoa. Mirror’s Edge just climbed up a few spots on the holiday must-have list. Footage of the time trial mode would’ve been enough by itself, but seeing Sebastien Foucan fly around Stockholm adds that extra little flair. Astute viewers will recognize Sebastien from the free-running chase at the beginning of Casino Royale, which I blame for any bone I may break in the future whilst trying to be a ninja.

Ahem…anyway, Mirror’s Edge comes out November 13th for the 360 and PS3.

Holy crap, I think I just poo’d my pants a little. I’ve been jealous of Japan’s Club Nintendo for years, and it’s finally coming to the States!

For those of you unfamiliar with Club Nintendo, the basic premise is that consumers register their Nintendo products for neat prizes. When I say neat prizes, I don’t mean cheap crap like a kazoo or a pack of cards, I mean crap like full DS games, game racks, carrying cases and exclusively designed controllers.

Also, I guess that we’re also getting a WiiSpeak channel, too. Whoop-de-doo.

So now that I’ve seen the new DSi, I’m pretty pumped to shell out another good chunk of money and abandon my 2-year-old DS Lite. Hell, I might even sell my iPod to help cover the cost, since having a DSi would mean that I would be carrying around a total of 4 MP3 players, and that just seems unnecessary.

Anyway, I’m not going to talk about the specs of this new machine since I’m sure you’ve already read about them at other news sites. Mostly I just want to pose a question: is the DSi a big enough improvement over the DS Lite to get the average gamer to make the upgrade?

Let me tell you something: this game kicks ass. I picked it up on PSN last week (reason: better D-pad than 360, more storage space than Wii) and I’m effing loving it. To be fair, I still haven’t quite beaten the last set of levels in Wily’s castle, but the robot masters alone have been worth their weight in money, Microsoft points or Wii points. Here are my thoughts on of each of the stages:
