Toki Tori Tuneage

by the hammer of Jim Squires!

I still haven’t had a chance to try the WiiWare version of Toki Tori yet (I know, I know — I’m lazy), but the cute characters and quality puzzling secure it’s high spot on my to-do list. In the meantime I can enjoying grooving to the smooth sounds of Toki thanks to developer Two Tribes posting the soundtrack on their website as free mp3 downloads.

Editor’s Note: Since writing this post I’ve lucked into a copy of the original Toki-Tori on for the GameBoy Color — and I’m hooked.



Team Fortress 2 is free this weekend!

Haven’t had a chance to play Team Fortress 2 yet? Well once you get out of the shame corner, hop on your PC and click here. Why? Because Valve is making the game free this weekend, that’s why. You’ll be able to download and play TF2, along with Gold Rush , it’s latest update featuring new map, mode, item management and medic skills, absolutely free until the end of tomorrow night.

As a 360 TF2′er, I’m going to give this thing a download myself. Depending on how well it runs on my shitastic laptop, I may end up making the switch. After all — waiting for all of this new content to hit the 360 is like waiting for the Book of Revelations to happen.



GTAIV to include one free month of Xbox Live Gold!

by the hammer of Dan Zuccarelli!

Just got an email from Jim who’s hard at work unboxing copious copies of GTAIV and he let me know that each copy of the 360 version is going to include a free month of Xbox Live, not the 48 hours that’s usually standard.

Microsoft is both looking to promote the service, and is no doubt looking for redemption after the outages that plagued the Christmas season.
