Remember when Interplay Entertainment teased us with the possibility of expanding upon some of its greatest franchises? Jim Sterling said he'd essentially lick the floor if a new Earthworm Jim ever came out, and for the record, I would too. As it turns out, we may need to stock up on mouthwash before too long, as Interplay has announced its plan to return to the industry with a vengeance by releasing a smorgasbord of sequels for some of it's most beloved titles. Among the games listed to receive sequels were Earthworm Jim, Dark Alliance, Descent, and MDK. Whether or not that ever happens depends on Interplay coming up with enough ways to finance such a tremendous process. Additionally, a Fallout MMO may very well be released down the road, if the company can gather up some $30 million in funding. I wish you the best of luck in your pursuits, Interplay. Godspeed.

As a huge fan of the Fallout franchise and a lover of top-down, exploration shoot-em-up games, the pairing of the two could have been glorious. And Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is, provided you think train wrecks can be glorious.
[Update: And I've just been informed that Mario was voiced in Mario Teaches Typing, which predates even Hotel Mario. The original 1991 DOS version used a different actor, but a 1995 CD-ROM re-release replaced him with Martin... Interplay has followed Larian Studios to become the next company offering a "pay what you want" sale on GOG.com. If Larian's deals didn't get your attention, this most certainly shall. They've got an interesting little setup ... It may not be a holiday weekend but there's still plenty of great PC download deals to be had. Gamersgate has knocked 33% off the recently released PC version of Alan Wake (both the standard and collector's editions).
