It was about time. Considering how much it took them, they might consider coming out with a remake.

There's good chance of this, isn't there? TS and LA seem to have a strong following in Europe. Hope that will help with the sales.

Have you got a source for this news? I haven't found a press release yet.

Oh, and this rate Psychonauts will have arrived in the UK by the time DVDBoxOffice.com decide to post me a copy .

I read French well enough to understand the news post. I'm still going to wait for a press release from the UK branch of THQ before I get my hopes up, though ...

If true then it's certainly awesome news. The games where sold out at the DF Shop when I ordered some stuff from there (which I got yesterday btw ), so I never got the Excellent Game Psychonauts. I sure as hell will get it if it comes to Europe though.

Seriously, Jaws Unleashed looks really cool. I mean, you play the shark and get to eat people and stuff!

(okay, I know, that sounds a bit stupid, but the fact is that Jaws Unleashed isn't your average "generic movie licence"-game, so I think it deserves a chance)

After a mere THREE MONTHS on order at DVDBoxOffice.com...

My copy of Psychonauts has been dispatched!

*Ahem*. Normal business may now continue.

Translated? Well, that's better than dubbed. Anyway I'm still hoping my USA copy will arrive soon... *sigh*

My list of "games I eagerly await and need to play" is growing and growing. I'm glad, it's a raining summer anyway. Ok, this is just an excuse.
