Try to imagine my excitement when I got home today to a trailer for a new Sin & Punishment game. You can't, can you? To summarize, I was bouncing off the walls like a 7-year-old who'd just drank his weight in Cream Soda. Treasure is one of my favorite game companies ever (second only to Rare) and S&P was one of my favorite games on the n64. Now that the long rumoured-sequel has been confirmed for the Wii, I'm absolutely ecstatic. Well, no, that's a gross understatement.

To see what all the fuss is about, check out the teaser trailer.


One of the finest games to grace the n64. Let's hope 2 can be half as good.

If you haven't played the original yet, download it on the VC. This is not a suggestion, it's a mandate. The best 12 bucks you'll ever spend.

Looking forward to Super Smash Bros. Brawl? Of course you are! Well, fear not fellow fans, because Nintendo and BestBuy have thought up a novel idea to ease the pain of the wait:

REDMOND, Wash., Feb. 13, 2008 - Attention all Smash fans: Put up your dukes! Just before the launch of the much-anticipated Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario and friends are hosting four regional Wii tournaments. The competitions will visit Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston and finally New York for a Midnight Madness Launch event at the Best Buy store at 622 Broadway in New York. All of the 256 participants at each location will receive a $10 Best Buy gift card. One lucky grand prize winner will receive a custom-designed, crystal-covered Wii, a home theater system from Best Buy and other prizes.

A Brawl tourney almost a month before Brawl is released? Count me in!... Well, if I didn't live so far away, anyways. Needless to say if you're close to any of the tournament locations, check it out!
