Gamepro: First look at the new Lara Croft
Lara Croft Diablo clone...
I don't get it? You can barely even see Lara's guns...
- Core to this impression is the fact that the viewpoint has shifted from behind Lara to a fixed isometric viewpoint. This has freed the development team to focus more on the content of Guardian of Light, and less on managing camera angles or wrangling the graphics engine. It's also particularly useful for accommodating the title's fundamental shift toward being a two player co-operative action experience. Players work together to fight off large swarms of bad guys, and solve environmental puzzles by taking advantage of the key characters' core strengths.

This is, literally, an Xbox 360 coffin
I'm going to need more than one
Send your RRODed Xbox 360 off in style
- According to Vanmois, each Xbox 360 ROD coffin will come with a signed death certificate, complete with the serial number of your 'expired' machine. "I want to give each certificate a personal touch, so it feels more like a proper funeral," Alex said.

Bungie returns to Marathon
Sure... why not?
Bungie has filed a request for trademark under the Marathon name.
The full, dry and boring request is available for your perusal here.
Those of you who know what a Mac is will remember how Bungie was a Mac developer first and that Marathon was a revolutionary first person shooter released only on the Mac.
Although Marathon 2 saw a Windows release and Marathon: Durandal was redone in HD and released on Xbox Live Arcade in 2007.

Who needs March Break?
Who says March Break is for the kids! With Xbox 360's dropping to $129 CDN everywhere it's time to pick up an Xbox 360 Console (or second, or third or fourth – you know who you are) and catch up with your gaming.
This is the Arcade edition with the RROD proof motherboard (theoretically), the silent DVD drive, 256 MB internal memort and a wireless Xbox controller. Keep in mind these use less power so the power bricks are NOT compatible with your previous Xbox 360 Consoles.

February 2010 Top Picks
It's hardly worth doing a Top Picks this month as February was not only a short month but a low content month. Less than four pages. Our worst showing in a long time. I blame all of us, but mostly you.
Reoccurring topics this month were the Pintsie Awards. Guess I should finish them off... it's only March.
