Perception is reality.  I never said the game isn't worth 50 bucks. I said that it's presentation sure as hell isn't, and really that's all you have to go on from the box.

I'd say the market has confirmed my assessment.

I understood what you meant Mr. Wormhead.

I guess I understand what James is saying.  From the presentation on the box, title screen, etc., Boom Blox looks similar to a lot of budget-priced casual Wii games.  It's too bad, because there is an amazing game for people who are willing to look beneath the surface.

Those points are valid.  Not to mention the name sucks and falls right into those low selling casual games.

Monkey Go Boom and Sheep Die would have been a MUCH better title.

I will echo the sentiment that Boom Blox is totally worth your cash. If you ask me, it's the best social game since Wii Sports, hands down.

Crimm is apparently "swamped", which I take to mean "Miami Nights warranted another play-through".

I have two time sensitive features, that need to be out like...yesterday, a review (on hold), and a time sensitive podcast.

A little busy, yes.  In my defence, we recorded Tuesday night, and Wednesday was devoted to one of the features. 

My goal is feature 1 tonight, feature 2 and RFN tomorrow, review Sunday.

Until then, I'll just listen to reruns, over and over.

The over use of the letter u will not find its way into my writing.  I simply cannot spell, which is really a good non-talent to have when writing for a website.

Sheep Die has my vote!

Sounds too much like MGS4.
Carmine Red, Associate Editor

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.
