Happy Canada Day from the Game Usagi Krew! Our review-system revamp is nearing completion, so look forward to both that and a great deal of iPhone/iPod Touch game reviews!

Happy Canada Day!
July 1st, 2009Reviews Forthcoming
June 8th, 2009Hey, all. Recently had a very sudden death of a close family friend, so I haven’t been able to update. We’ll get back on the Usagi bus in the next day or so and get things going again. Sorry for the delay!

Metroid: Other M Screens
June 2nd, 2009
Thought that this game was cool enough to include a couple of screen-grabs of. We will still be reviewing the E3 Conferences, but we’re going to wait until after the Sony conference to pass judgement. For now, enjoy the awesomeness that is Metroid developed by Team Ninja (click all pics to enlarge, they’re not the best quality ’cause they’re grabs from the trailer):

Well, the PSP Go is out of the bag. Thanks to an early release of the next Qore episode, the world now knows what the PSP Go looks like, as well as some purported specs:
- 16 GB of internal Flash memory
- 43% lighter than the PSP-3000
- 3.8-inch screen (compared to the usual 4.3-inch PSP-3000 screen and the 3.5-inch iPhone/iPod Touch screens)
- Bluetooth support
- Will be sold concurrently with the PSP 3000
- Apparently no UMD slot?

Happy 2nd Birthday, Game Usagi
May 28th, 2009
It’s Game Usagi’s second birthday! Oh, how the years go by, *sniffle*. For our second birthday, we slicked up our logo a tad. If you like the old one better (still used on the forums header), then let us know and we’ll think of a perhaps more radical redesign.
E3’s only a couple of days away, so watch our predictions page for more predictions, and make sure to check out our liveblogs during the conferences!
Thanks for another great year, and here’s to many more!

E3 2009 Conference Times & Liveblogging
May 28th, 2009
Everyone always gives out conference times for their time zone, so I figure I’d do the same. These are the PT times minus one hour for anyone out that way and everyone else can just do the math themselves. : P
Microsoft Conference: June 1st, 11:30 AM CST
Nintendo Conference: June 2nd, 10:00 AM CST
Sony Conference: June 2nd, 12:00 PM CST
I just wish they’d let me sleep. : (
UPDATE: We will be liveblogging during the conferences for those who do not have fast enough internet to watch them live, or are unable to do so being at work, etc. The liveblogs refresh themselves, so no need to be tapping F5 the whole time. Click on the conference times above to take you to the liveblog for each one.
Usagi3 (E3) Predictions
May 27th, 2009
It’s the most wonderful time of the year for gamers! Yes, that magical season when Reggie Fils-Aime comes down your chimney and… shows you boring charts. At least that’s how it went last year for Nintendo. Reggie’s also been known to kick ass and take names every now and then. We can all pray that they won’t let another pathetic Cammie Dunaway speech be the center of the presentation, but you never know…
So, we present to you our predictions for the E3 Press Conferences in 2009. They are ordered by company and then by likelihood, but everything should be clear when you read it. For convenience’s sake, the times of the E3 conferences are posted above.
