Flip out
I suppose you're wondering where last week's Arcadia update went, are you? Well, it was here all along. You just couldn't see it because it was Ninja Week. Honest.

Retrovolution
What happens when a bunch of devs get all misty-eyed about the good old days of high scores and making money? They repackage older games for our entertainment! With that in mind, seven new (old) games are added to the database.

OK, so they're not all great or particularly classic or anything. But, y'know, Pac-Man rocks.

It all becomes clear now
Hey, more Encyclopaedia this week? Seven new entries, you say? That's right. In addition to the manic land-grab of new systems to fill out, the plan is to deal with the backlog in a wonderfully gimmicky way by adding (on average) one new game every day of the year. Expect to see it failing soon.

The magic number
Hey, what's this? Is it some new entries in the Encyclopaedia? Why, yes it is. Five of them in fact. Why five, I wonder...

Putting the fun in fungal infections
So there's this new PC game out from the Sims guy. It's about flying lizards taking over space and it's named after mushroom sex goo. We have a review.

As long as it's blue
Customisation is good. Very good. Where would we be without the ability to give our skimpy bikini fighters neon pink hair or our testosterone-chewing space marines some fetching green shoulder pads? If only the internet was so accommodating to our garish whims. OH WAIT. You can now browse Eternal Legend in any colour you fancy, as long as your browser is up to the task - be warned that not all are. To pick a new shade, visit the Preferonicator and give it a try. Is this the first website to come with 255 colour schemes?

Snake? Snake! Snaaake!
Would you believe it? Nintendo have seen fit to grace us with the most highly-anticpated game since the last one. It needs no more introduction than this: Brawl.

The Newer Nightmare
We've got a real surprise for you today: A genuine legally-acquired review of Alone in the Dark! We play it so that you don't have to.

The Hunt Begins
Could it be? An update? Why, I think it just might be. We're taking tentative steps with actually updating once in a while, and to begin with there's some delicious info on the FFXII Hunts. Things aren't running terribly smoothly at the moment thanks to the perils of a new computer system, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
