I picked up 2 new games today, and they are:

  • Halo Wars----XBOX360, $19.99
  • Dragon Age: Awakening---PC, $29.99

That reminds me I have to get Dragon Age.  Halo Wars was a very well made game -- just too much like work for me.  

What's the deal with Origins versus Origins Awakening?  Is Awakening a later release with more stuff?  Or is just an expansion?  I have neither right now.

Awakening is the expansion pack to Origins. You want to get Origins first my friend. Man, the next few months are packed with great games. Gonna be tough to resist.

Gotcha.

I don't disagree with him. PSN hardly ever helps a failed game's sales. Just look at GTA Chinatown Wars.

I mean make it playable on the PS3 or port it to PS2, put it on something people will pay for. This game can easily sell well in the US if it were not just on PSP.

It's not going to happen Vade.  The days of PSP -> Home Console translations are over.

Peace Walker sold 52,000 but it's hard to get a accurate data on the sales because a lot of people purchased the game digitally and NPD doesn't track digital purchases.

It was the best selling PSP game for June, but that's not really saying much I guess.

http://psp.ign.com/articles/110/1106817p1.html

I purchased it digitally, so maybe it really isn't all doom and gloom. Who knows how many people bought it off of PSN...or ripped it.

Story above: New game in the Oddworld series is announced.

Sounds less promising once you read the story.  I was kinda hoping Oddworld Inhabitants had come back into being, but it looks like someone else is using the license.

One to watch at least.

Yeah, I donl't think Lorne Lanning will let them turn out any old garbage just for the royalties, so yeah, one to watch.

Here are some cool Pokemon wallpapers.  Done in minimalist style, so they are only evocative of individual Pokemon.
