The biggest news of the day, by far, was Star Wars: The Old Republic finally being handed a release date. Because of this, I finally broke down and pre-puchased the game. I now have $12 to my name. Thanks, EA. Thanks a lot.

Other than that, Johnny attended many a developer session at the EG Expo today. You can get caught up on all that through the feature links, and the lovely box out in this post.

Right. I am off to eat some left over chili I made last night. It tasted great I might add, and will be even hotter and even more tasty tonight. Thank goodness I have boxes upon boxes of Zantac. I am going to need it to keep my stomach from spontaneously combusting. If anyone ever wants my chili recipe and can handle hot, drop me a mail and I will hand over my culinary secrets.

  • Castlevania: Harmony of Despair hitting PSN September 27

    • Better late than never.

  • Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning gets a story trailer

    • A big nerd dream of mine, is to have a sit down with Rolston, Salvatore, and McFarlane. I would probably die in the middle of it from the sheer amount of awesome radiating from the three.

  • Quick Quotes: Vince Zampella on the protection of creative control

    • Still no word on what his studio is working on.

  • The Darkness II trailer gets you caught up on the story

    • Go Jackie, go! Kill 'em all.

  • Super Mario 3D Land uses StreetPass, P-Winged Assist Blocks

    • Um, okay. I think I understand this. Maybe not.

  • PSA: PSN maintenance tomorrow in Europe brings some titles offline

  • Slightly Mad crowdsourcing new games, first up is C.A.R.S.

    • Got money to invest? Try this out.

  • RAGE: Willits explains why PS3 has an 8GB install, why 360 has multiple discs

    • Explained, in a non-Carmack way. In other words, I didn't cry while reading the interview. I get headaches when too much tech is talked. Plus, I feel dumb afterward.

  • EA uses FIFA as an example of how to take the market share away from rivals

    • I found it amusing that Intat used the same analogy with BF3 that he used with MoH exactly one year ago to the exact same site. Maybe I am just easily amused.

    • More guns are a good thing.

    • No Grip. All Eidos. Now, if you have issues beating this boss, you know who to yell at.

See you on Tuesday.
