Late Night Consoling

21
With the Game Developers Conference now over and E3 just around the corner, things should simmer down until the lead up to the big event. Maarten and I will be in Los Angeles for a full week and Steve will join us at some point to do his little business dealings. We have a couple of neat tricks up our sleeves for the event, so I'm really anxious for May to roll around. Oh hey, you know what I realized today? The PSP is less than two weeks away from launch. Doesn't that seem weird? I can't wait!

    Gerard Wiener, general manager of Nokia's games business program, said to expect something new from the company at this year's E3. "We will be making a significant announcement at E3 regarding our next generation," he said. It appears from other comments he made that we will see new hardware that offers enhanced graphics and more features.

  • Euro PSP Possibly in Summer

Console Game Of The Evening [Submit Yours!]

Raiders of the Lost Ark for the Atari 2600. "The very first action-adventure, in where you run around killing snakes with your whip, searching for the Ark of the Covenant. And because you had to use both joysticks to control Indy, it was especially suited for coop play." (submitted by Tissen).
