    I'am hoping it's T but by the looks it's probably going to be M but any ways thanks for the heads up. Hopefully my parents in 2010 will let me play Mgames.

    Wow, they sure are aiming high for that, they have a lot of plans. If I was High Voltage, I would have waited to announce it at E3. Wow

    I was hoping they would announce these games at E3 too, but from what I understand from Ign, they are still supposed to announce a game at E3. That would make a great Wii lineup from HVS alone, with Gladiator A.D, The Grinder, and The Conduit. It's going to be a great year for the Wii, especially if Nintendo announces a new Zelda.

    This is awesome, great find spiderpig.

    looks like I will be buffing up my wii in the future!

    "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

    We ask for truth all the time, but when that truth threatens to tear apart the fundamental beliefs of your world, can you still accept it?

    For those of you guys saying they should've waited for E3, they're going to show off these games at E3 too, with a ton more info than what we have now. They just did this to get us hyped about it. And really, it working very well for me. =D
