You know, back when they didn&#8217;t just make Star Wars games.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be debuting a new column starting this Wednesday calling &#8216;Coming Attractions&#8217;, which is just a fancy way of addressing this week&#8217;s new releases. Nothing imaginative really, just taking those quarterly predictions I did in the Warp Pipe last week and doing them weekly. I&#8217;ll also be handling updates of Games On Net&#8217;s release schedule, so it should be nice, neat and up to date.<\/p>\n<p>The Warp Pipe resumes next Sunday with a bunch of predictions about what will happen in 2009. Just a bit of fun &#8211; I always like looking back at the end of the year to see if these things are right. After that I think I might take the column in a more serious direction; I felt like I relied far too much on retro stuff to fill the gaps on the weeks where I had no ideas. The column is going to be a little leaner, but I hope it will be better for it.<\/p>\n<p>Getting all ready to move to Queensland in just under a month. The SO is handing in her resignation today, and we&#8217;re going to start packing and posting stuff shortly. I would have liked to be up there sooner &#8211; Tuesday is apparently going to be 38C here. Once we&#8217;re up there I&#8217;m hoping I can find something to compliment my writing work, though that might just be the development of my planned video series or perhaps a simple XNA project or continued writing on the book that&#8217;ll probably never be published.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reviews<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/games.on.net\/article\/4718\/Tom_Clancys_EndWar_PS3_Review\">Tom Clancy&#8217;s EndWar (PS3)<\/a> at Games On Net<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/games.on.net\/article\/4724\/Far_Cry_2_Xbox_360_Review\">Far Cry 2 (Xbox 360)<\/a> at Games On Net<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/games.on.net\/article\/4740\/Kirby_Super_Star_Ultra_DS_Review\">Kirby Super Star Ultra (Nintendo DS)<\/a> at Games On Net<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m officially starting work up again today.
