The Daily Hotness: He’s on fire

Rumor has it that EA Sports has picked up the NBA Jam license. If true, then awesome! It’s been far too long since I’ve had fun with a basketball game.

The new Monthly Musing topic is up, Dale checked out Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, Dark Void demo will be out later this week, George Costanza’s Frogger score has been beaten and more happened on 01/05/10.
