The announcement of Wii supporting downloadable content gives me hope for its upcoming version of Rock Band. They just need to get around the limitations of its current storage options. Perhaps making external hard drives compatible much like the USB keyboards?

Also, almost 2 weeks until Brawl. Want to start a clan/team?

The new zero punctuation review is hilarious. One of my favs so far:

I'm not even excited for Brawl anymore. The delays and all the info online makes me feel like I've already played it. Now, I can only complain about weak roster (where is baby bowser??) and barely-decent online features. Of course, if it had come out a week or so after they announced Sonic, it would have been a different story. All these delays have made it familiar and lost it's novelty in my head.

Some new Mirrors Edge screens: Here, Here, here and here.

This game is slowly creeping higher in my most wanted list. I love the idea of it, and based on a few GDC previews I read it looks to live up to it's promise to revolutionise, or at least reinvent the FPS genre. Free running FPS FTW! Or FFFPSFTW! Oh, and it looks gorgeous. Can't wait to see it in motion! From IGN Preview:

As Faith began to move the camera bobbed with her steps, just as other games have done but it's when she picked up speed when things changed.

As she entered into her sprint the camera started moving just as your head would, bobbing feverishly around the screen. Not to the point of feeling chaotic or disorganized, but just enough to make it feel like you're actually sprinting. Then it came time to clear a gap between the starting rooftop and an adjacent building. Faith sprinted to the edge and then vaulted into the air, the camera moved around, showing her legs kicking in mid-air, arms flailing as if to sell the feeling of being hundreds of feet above the ground. I totally bought it.

Starting this morning, I've become a Brawl widow. At least the Wii is in our bedroom!

Damn
The US Version of Brawl will give me an US firmware update, and no one knows if this will brick you wii at the next euro update...
I wanted to import it today.

And for those of you who don't know:
Brawl has NO release date in europe yet. There are even rumors that Nintendo wants to delay the release until Mario Kart comes out, because MK is more popular in europe.
That's why it was so IMPORTant.
Damn

I've installed American firmware updates on my 360 with no problem and I've put American firmware on my UK iPod Touch with no problem. If a problem does arise, I don't think it would be anything so serious as to brick your console. Have their been reports of out-of-region firmware bricking?

Nope, and there won't be for a time if at all. I'm nor afraid that my Wii will brake when I put the US firmware on, but afraid of what will happen when the next pal updates are coming.

Does Hedo have Rock Band yet? EMF band is going to have a lot of catching up to do to take the top spot on the fans list.
