In case you haven’t heard yet, Nintendo has changed the name of their “next-generation” console from the “Revolution” to the “Nintendo Wii”.
Let me start off by saying that I know this site isn’t the first to flame the big N for their indiscrection in naming their system after a kiddy word for a bodily function… But they do deserve it.

If you’ve bought electronics in the last few years, you know that the mob isn’t the only organization offering “protection services” these days.
Compusa, Circuit City, and the kid down the block that has a great deal on speakers are ALL pushing these extended warranties like nobody’s business. Apple computer’s brand of this legal larceny is Applecare.

One thing you will notice about the GREAT majority of PS2 fans is their unwavering love for the brand. Ever have that friend in high school that wouldn’t buy anything other than Nike sneakers? Or wouldn’t even THINK of touching a Sega Master System over Nintendo?
These kinds of players have a horrible prospect before them…a huge delay in the release of PS3.
Well, as you may or may not noticed, our favorite Internet Butler Jeeves has been cut from Ask.com. Apparently the website will no longer answer questions anymore and will function just like every other search engine.
By killing off Jeeves, Ask.com has made clear that their goal is to be another google clone.
Don’t worry Jeeves, the website that squatted you will share in your fate soon enough, judging by their new ugly-fied site design and foolishly cutting every bit of good out of their brand.
Pour out some Liquor for our homie Jeeves…
This Squatworthy is going out to all you lazy PSP game developers who don’t feel like online play is important to handheld gaming. Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max was just released and guess what… NO ONLINE!
Something seriously needs to be done about this. At the PSP’s launch, we got Twisted Metal: Head On and with it, one of the sweetest online gaming experiences ever.
Since then, we’ve been dissapointed repeatedly with title after title lacking online play! Burnout Legends and Coded Arms were huge letdowns as gamers were excited about playing them online since the days they were announced. Since they were so graphically demanding, however, we could understand online not being feasible.
But Street Fighter?
Come on! If X-Men Legends 2 can support online, then why not Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max?
PSP Developers…We want online!
No, I’ve never played this game, as a matter of fact I wouldn’t be caught DEAD even renting it–But just incase any of you out there were thinking about it, perhaps reading these reviews will save you the suffering…
Metareview: 25 to Life
It shouldn’t suprise anyone that this game bites. It’s just another GTA clone. This is usually what happens when a bunch of developers race to bastardize another company’s concept. Garbage.

Well–no new LOST this week so I was forced to get out my Season 1 DVD set. The pick for the night was Episode 1.15: “Homecoming”, otherwise known as “The one where Ethan gets squatted”.
There’s a reason why this post is as much a “Squatworthy” post as it is a “Getting Lost” one.–The way Ethan got 0wned, I’m surprised that Charlie didn’t get a little Squat-Squat-Melee in there.

Squatworthy, our latest new feature on squatsquat.com, highlights things in the media which either got 0wned or deserve to be. Think of Squatworthy as our version of the Bat Signal–A herald to the Squatters of the world to join us in the fight against things that Suxx0rs.
It’s purely coincidental that our first Squatworthy highlights something video game related–Bloodrayne: The Movie. Bloodrayne, which cost around $50 million to make and promote, has only grossed an embarrassing $2.4 million in three weeks!
Not having seen the film, I can’t go into detail about what made it flop, but from a quick look at IMDB, I can think of three reasons.
The people have spoken with their dollar, and Bloodrayne will go down in history as yet another substandard video game adaptation. We can only hope this disaster will keep other, more beloved, game franchises from suffering the same fate.
