Shameless was sung by Billy Joel and Garth Brooks.

In the last shameless plug, I pointed out some of the strategy gaming goodness on sale at GoGamer (see ad on the side of the screen). Well, that deal is over, but if you were thinking about some Combat Mission gaming, don't worry. This time GoGamer has Combat Mission 2 on sale while Combat Mission 1 is still quite reasonably priced. You can get both shipped for about $16. Or if you're more ambitious, you can get the whole import Combat Mission Anthology that includes Afrika Korps for about $36. If you're on the fence about Combat Mission, you might want to read This from our forum.

I put up an article in the news section on Microsoft's bid to get respected Japanese developers to sign on to the Xbox 2. It clearly means that they haven't ceded the Japanese market despite a poor showing this generation. That can probably tell us something about the form factor for the Xbox 2. It will be much smaller with sleeker lines. It will have a modern, high tech inspired look. I imagine the ad campaigns in Japan will be different as well.

You know Ubisoft isn't acting like a company about to be taken over by EA. First they launch a sports line that will directly compete with EA. Now they bought a Microids development studio in Montreal. When the labeled EA's stock acquisition hostile, I thought that was a legal maneuver, not a description of their response.

If you check the news section, you'll see Silent Hunter III has gone gold. I put up some screenshots for it as well as more for Cossacks 2. Check them out Here.
