Earthworm Jim- soon to be on the PSN!!

As you are all aware, I've been totally immersed in the PSN these past few weeks- trying out demos, buying small games and generally giggling over the back catalogue of retro games. The release of FF VII alone made me giggle with glee for weeks on end. And now I feel the Cheshire Cat-esque grin on my face has no chance of subsiding with the promise of another great classic game, one which sits close to the top of my all time favourite games list-

EARTHWORM JIM

I found this nugget of info on another gaming site-
Gameloft has announced it will be delivering the classic platformer Earthworm Jim to digital distribution platforms and mobile phones. Originally released on 16-bit systems back in 1994, Earthworm Jim stars the titular invertebrate who wears a super suit which grants him the power to fight the evil forces of Queen Slug-for-a-Butt. It's not clear, yet, whether this is an all-new game or a straight port of the original. As of this writing, Gameloft could not be reached for clarification.

"The game, with its humorous and edgy style, is a great fit for today's gamer who craves a fully immersive experience that is fun and easily accessible," said Gonzague de Vallois, senior vice president, Gameloft.

"Earthworm Jim resonates with millions of people worldwide and we are excited to have one of the best developers in the industry create this game for a new audience," said Herve Caen, CEO, Interplay.

Interestingly, SEGA announced last week that the original Earthworm Jim is a candidate for the next SEGA Classics release on Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) and PlayStation Network.



Can you say "GROOVY!"

New PS3 concept art?

When it comes to the PS3 Slim, everyone kind of feels like a mushroom. We're all just kept in the dark and fed shit.
Everyone out there is well aware of he rumours surrounding the release, or even the production of, the PS3 slim. I'd put my money on Sony developing the PS3, even if it is quite soon for their track record- Although I would say that the PS3 slim that appeared in a German auction site is most definitely fake.

And with rumours comes cleverly photoshoped concept art.






There has been everything from quite simplistic, "thin, black" designs.







Fancy looking silver models (Basically the same, but in silver...)








And even a few "real pics" floating around.




All pretty bland and boring really. Just the basic PS3 model (which if I'm honest, I think looks lush!) and made a bit smaller. But now it seems people are taking things a bit further- making the PS3 Slim even sexier!


This newly surfaced concept art, whether they're fake or not, gives me hope for an even better looking PS3 Slim then we've previously been lead to believe. Although we're still unsure of Sony's exact take on the Slims release, or even production.














But lets face it- we all know it's coming.
