Yay, I finally got my credit card. (insert consumer whore reference here)

And you know what that means.

Orange Box, here I come.

Oh wait, I have an assignment to do… 

Just a few links today:

• Super Mario Galaxy gets 38 / 40 from Famitsu.
• Euro PS3 sales kill 360 surge thanks to healthy price cut. I’m a little bit more tempted. But where the hell are my games, damn it?
• I’ll answer my own question: here’s an article on why PS3 games development takes so long.
• MGS4: Guns of the Patriots screenshots look…a bit weird. In a good way.
• I was reading an EvAv review of this earlier, but here is some gameplay footage on the Wii version of Rockstar Game’s Presents Table Tennis. You use the thumbstick to control spin, rather than gestured movements. Still got a ways to go, I suppose.
• XBL launches in India on November 5th. I’ll be expecting invites from VishnuVindicat0r soon.
• Another amusing Zero Punctuation review on Super Paper Mario.
• The Crackdown crew picks up two BAFTA awards - Action and Adventure, and Use of Audio. Not too sure about the latter, to be perfectly honest…it wasn’t exactly mindblowing dialogue and the sound effects were pretty standard. Oh well, controversy and all.
