1) Hey Chris, did you cut yourself shaving?
2) Sad to hear Sonic Boom is crap. I think Lost Worlds was reviewed unfairly but from what I hear Rise of Lyric is no good. That said, I was not interested in it to begin with.
3) It is very likely that Rising Star Games would publish Rodea.
I don’t need in on the contest, I picked up Valkyria Chronicles on the PS3 a while back, like any SEGA fan who heard vaguely good things about it, then played it and realized, “oh no, this is that genre that burns my flesh like acid,” but then got a few missions in and started to genuinely like it, only to get distracted by something shiny.
Where was I going with this?… Oh, the PC ports campaign! I don’t know if jumping back two generations is cheating, but I think the time is right for a ChuChu Rocket! revival.
