Hi ho, here we are once more.

Ever wonder why the pacing in Deathtrap Dungeon was so perfect? Why Steve Jackson's Sorcery series was so hard? Why Scorpion Swamped sucked so bad? Check out these detailed flow charts of each Fighting Fantasy novel. Quite an interesting read.

In the mind of NeoGAF, that closed-circuit discussion fora of the elite and enthusiastic of gaming, the "Game of the Year" at E3 wasn't a multi-million-dollar high-def extravaganza but a little DS game with a big database: Scribblenauts. It just goes to show that it isn't the size of your data but how you use it. The post crowned champion comes from Feep:

I had played all the big titles at E3. Private showings of God of War III, Heavy Rain, Alan Wake.

Check it out -- the new backdrop to The Tonight Show is a dead ringer for the Mushroom Kingdom: This is... inexplicable.

A few key titles and the incorporation of new tech and tricks is cause enough to dust off the old DS (and/or excuse the indulgence of purchasing a new DSi).

MS finally unleashed its master plan for domination of the home living room entertainment center at E3 this year. Content pipeline? Check. Direct digital downloads? Check. Tastes great less filling?

I think gaming has finally found it's "Merchant Ivory": The Last Guardian.
