Mom Brain goes back to school tomorrow…on the teaching side of things, that is. It’s back to being just me at the warehouse during the day. At least I’ll have you guys to keep me busy while Mom B. is doing her job. I guess this signifies the end of Summer at the warehouse. Man, I’m not ready to see it go! I’m sure I’m not the only one either! Well, there’s really no choice but to push on like usual. I hope you all are doing well, even if you did have to go back to school already! Don’t worry, a break will be here before you know it. I’m taking a break right now for some sleep! See you all in a few, short hours. A real straightforward end of day thought for you guys. I thought it would be one to get some good discussion going. Not to say that there hasn’t been a ton of talk about Metroid: Other M already! So…the first wave of reviews for Metroid: Other M have come and gone. We’ve ridden the wave of highs and lows, and we’ve washed up upon the shores of the North American launch. Some of our European friends are still waiting to go hands-on with the game, so there should be another round of reviews coming. With that said, there has been no shortage of opinions on the game coming from North American outlets, ourselves included. It’s no secret that review scores have been mixed at best. There’s definitely a split on this game, with some reviews skewing towards high 8s and low 9s, while others drop down into the 7 and 6 range. Hard to really peg what’s going on here, but I think it’s clear that some reviewers feel the title was a letdown, while others enjoy the direction that this Team Ninja co-developed game has wandered in. With all that media attention out there from gaming press, where has that left you? Were you going to purchase the game until you read all those reviews? Have the reviews thus far changed you from a definite purchase to a rental? Perhaps the reviews put you off a purchase altogether? I’m sure there are plenty of people that are jumping in anyway, and are still excited for the purchase. Whatever your situation is, we’d like to hear! Leave us a comment and let us know if you grabbed the game or not. If you didn’t, let’s hear why you backed off. I’d especially love to hear if the reviews out there had any influence on you, be that positive or negative. Feel free to let loose with any/all details below!

Check out more screens and art in our Flickr set LYON, FRANCE – 30 August 2010 – NAMCO BANDAI Partners S.A.S. today announced a new agreement with RAINBOW S.p.A to distribute the latest WINX CLUB: ROCKSTARS video game, based on the smash hit franchise, Winx Club. The game will be distributed by Nintendo DS in Europe, Middle East and Africa this November 2010. Fans in Europe will be able to buy the game bundled with an exclusive DS Case or a Winx Club Watch at selected retailers. Ever since its explosion on TV in 2004, the Winx Club has been been winning the hearts of fans with the enchanting fairies and their fantastic adventures between the planet earth and the Magical Dimension. In the TV series viewers follow the fun of young fairy friends Bloom, Stella, Flora, Tecna, Layla, Musa and Roxy as they make friends, battle enemies and unearth the amazing secrets around them. In WINX CLUB: ROCKSTARS the fairy friends head out on a new kind of adventure, swapping their magic for guitars and microphones and whipping up a fairy rock star frenzy on stage. Fans will be able to play their favourite Winx Club fairy, choose one of four musical instruments to rock out with, and practice more than 12 exclusive Winx Club songs as they aim for the big time. Mastering the rhythmic gameplay and hitting high scores gives players the chance to style and customize their characters to make an even bigger splash when they’re under the lights. “Interactive platforms and specifically the video game market are very important for our business,” said Iginio Straffi, Founder and President, RAINBOW S.p.A, “this important new launch with Bandai Namco, one of the prestigious partner in the industry, underlines the strength and value of the property.” “It’s great news that we are able to continue our relationship with Rainbow and bring another game based on this fantastic license to fans in Europe,” said Alberto González Lorca, Vice President Third Parties, NAMCO BANDAI Partners S.A.S. “Winx Club: Rockstars takes this enormously popular property in a new musical game direction, which is very exciting for us and adds even more breadth and strength to our diverse line up.” WINX CLUB: ROCKSTARS for Nintendo DS is scheduled for release in November 2010 across EMEA.

Namco Bandai Partners to distribute Winx Club: Rockstars for DS
We know that Jools Watsham is working on a game that has been codenamed ‘Spirit’. We also know that the game is going to be for DS. As I was going through Twitter, I noticed this message and picture from Mr. Watsham… In the spirit of fun… It seems like an odd picture to post up out of nowhere. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that ’spirit’ is said in the message either. Are we going to end up seeing spirit revealed as an ATV game? Link

Friday is here and I couldn’t be happier! My copy of Ivy the Kiwi? should be arriving at my front door in a few hours. What a great game to relax with over the weekend…I hope! Here’s to hoping that you guys have some great games lined up for the weekend as well. Let’s get through Friday so we can have some fun! I’m off to bed for some much-needed rest. That’ll help me power through Friday! See you in a few, short hours. P.S. - Unless I’m mistaken, Metroid: Other M reviews go live at 1 PM EST today! We have ours ready. I can’t wait to see what others think! Damnit Cory, why on earth do you have to keep making such great comics? Last week to put together a comic that I thought was my favorite one yet. That was a multi-panel comic that was full of great art and a wonderful joke. This time around you go with a single panel paired with a great joke and some beautiful art. Now I think I have yet another favorite! It’s very clear to me now. The only thing Cory knows is how to top his previous work with each passing week!
