Subject: Where the FUCK is the Metroid Prime 2 review!
See above subject. You guys have said barely a damn word about it.
Tycho already talked about how great Metroid 2 is but I guess I never explained he was speaking for both of us. I agree with him 100%, I think it's an incredible game.
I don't want to be one of those guys who starts talking about Game of the Year in November because I don't think that's fair. I know most people think we've already seen the best this year has to offer but I honestly have high hopes for the new Prince of Persia. With that said it's going to be tough to beat Metroid Prime 2 and Half Life 2 in my opinion. I have a feeling that for me at least it's going to come down to one of those two games for GOTY.
Don't forget to come see us this Saturday at the Toys R Us in Bellevue.
103 110TH Ave NE Bellevue, WA 98004-5805
We'll be there with Garrison Titan. They will be in full armor helping collect toys for Child's Play. The event runs from 10am-4pm and Tycho and I will be there starting at noon. Bring your Nintendo DS if you want to try some multiplayer or bring your WOW strategy guide if you'd like to get it signed.
Also don't forget about our kick ass charity dinner/auction. There's still time to buy tickets. You can read my full description of the evening here.
Word on the street is that the limited edition Twisp&Catsby prints will be available sometime towards the first part of December. We're making 500 signed and numbered laser etched prints. Judging by the amount of mail I get about Twisp & Catsby I'd say they are going to go fast. So keep an eye on the site. I'll give you a link as soon as they are available.
