After seeing large employee terminations and the ultimate shutdown of the studio, Flagship Studios hit the big continue button in the sky to be reborn as Runic Games. Although we do like the name Runic Games Better than Flagship and we're glad they're up and running again, all we have to say is: "Wen can we haz moar Mythos beta?"

Seattle, Washington - August 8th, 2008 - The former Flagship Studios Seattle team is proud to announce their reformation as Runic Games (www.runicgames.com). As the team responsible for the highly-anticipated Mythos at Flagship Studios, Runic Games intends to continue to use their expertise in the Action-RPG MMO genre to create the best games in this market.

 Because I have a terrible computer that can hardly run this word editor, I have been very excited about Sam and Max Season One coming over to the Wii. Sure, it might have just been a quick and dirty port, but as long as Telltale hasn't tarnished the source material, I could care less. However, while I was taking a quick look at the Amazon page for Sam and Max, something caught my eye.

Product Features

 If the picture to the left of a GameStop listing is correct, we may be seeing a Metallic Silver DS Lite coming out very soon. Maybe even as soon as September 7th, if the date next to the listing is correct. So what about the $25 price next to the listing? Don't get your hopes up. It's more than likely a place holder price or the cost to reserve a Metallic Silver DS Lite.

So, who's up for a silver colored DS Lite?

When we first heard about Sony's inFamous, we weren't too thrilled. Yes, the prospect of playing a human with super powers in an open world sounded fun ( albeit a tad cliché), but can Sucker Punch Productions pull it off? By the looks of the new video, it looks like they can.

Any game in which you can ride atop a moving train piques our interest. We're not exactly sure why, but we have a hunch that it could be some long lost hobo genes within us. And whaddya know? G4's exclusive direct feed gameplay video starts off with a guy on top of a moving train. With train surfing, gorgeous graphics, jumping from rooftop to rooftop, and lightning shooting from the main character's hands, inFamous looks to be shaping up quite nicely.

Although we're not as fond of Captain Rainbow's theme song as we are his other videos, we'll let it slide. Your still one weird super hero to us, Captain. After all who could who could hold a grudge against someone who has such a sweet belt? From Captain Rainbow's official site, which recently opened, we can gather that the Skip developed title will launch August 28 in Japan.

You can check out the Capn's Wikipedia page here for more info on his game.

Dear Treyarch,

Although the co-op footage above looks good, we're still a bit hesitant. Please, Treyarch...don't let this be another Call of Duty 3. You know exactly what we mean...

Hoping Call of Duty: World at War is as god as it looks,
