Xbox Reservoir Dogs Recalled from UK Stores
Spong :: Monday, August 28, 2006
It turns out that the Xbox version of the game has been recalled. A quick call to one of the other local game shops turned up a similar response; the Xbox version is not available. Thankfully the staff at Gamestation made it completely clear why the Xbox game is not on sale; somebody somewhere forgot to put the BBFC 18 age rating logo on the disk. The packaging carries the rating logo, but without the logo on the disc the game cannot legally be sold by UK retailers. Our man was told that the PS2 version was perfectly legal, and has been available since this morning.
Kellogg to Offer Mini Xbox Games in Cereal
Ars Technica :: Monday, August 28, 2006
Kellogg is doing a promotion where in specially marked boxes of some of their “best” cereal (Corn Pops for the win) you get a mini-Xbox game. When I first heard about this, I expected to see an Xbox disc that had an arcade game on it or the like, and was floored when I saw they were actually giving away little Tiger-style LCD games. The Motorcycle one looks like a set of handlebars, and there is even one that fits on your wrist! Man, if I were a kid these days, I would be begging my mother to take me to the grocery store right about now. As it stands, I did just call my girlfriend to ask her to pick me up some Frosted Flakes on the way home. I’m hoping for the wristband.

Titan Quest
Primo Technology :: Tuesday, August 22, 2006
Overall, Titan Quest is an enjoyable Diablo 2 clone, aside from the crashing defects. I can see playing this through several times, on difference class combinations to get a feel for each and see all the items. However, it is still lacking that something special to be able to take over Diablo 2’s place in my heart (and hard drive).
