In this episode it seems like IGN takes a few hits at the people of neogaf. You can see it through out the summary and this statement that Bozan says at the beginning of the summary.
“We can do without the Neogaf Summary Guys”
Honestly IGN everyone respects you but no one wants to listen to you guys talk for about 40 minutes. All what people really want to know is the info you guys give. IGN has such a foot in to door with the industry, they have a good idea of what going on, and people respect that. Don’t go down on people just because they don’t want to listen do you, just be thankful for what you do have. One reason I don’t wright a rant about every single post I make is that people don’t always want to hear or read a rant, they just want the info. Sorry that’s my rant for the day.

We have already seen screens from this game, but the French press release announcing TMNT Smash-up has been translated.
SAN FRANCISCO – January 26, 2009 – Today Ubisoft announced that it will launch an all-new, original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles® (TMNT®) video game – the first that is not tied to a TMNT® movie, television show or comic book – which will be a four-player action fighting title.
The game is being developed by Game Arts, noted for working on the critically acclaimed Super Smash Bros.(TM) Brawl for Wii(TM). Scheduled for release in fall 2009, the video game will be a key event in the year-long “Shell-ebration” of the 25th anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles® which, in addition to the video game launch, will include new and exciting products and experiences for TMNT® fans in the U.S. and around the world.
BRISBANE, Calif. – January 23here, 2009 – IGN.com, the Web’s leading videogame and entertainment information destination, has released “IGN Previews 2009,” its first ever predictions for game sales, hardware developments and industry trends for a new year. Leveraging IGN’s proprietary research engine, GamerMetrics, and the analysis of IGN’s tenured staff members, “IGN Previews 2009” provides insiders with informed analysis about the future of gaming.

This game is said to be a Wii only Brawl style fighting game from Ubisoft. I am very excited to hear more about this game.

Asked by an analyst about Ubisoft’s continuing support of the Wii, Guillemot let word slip of a rumored sequel: “We have lots of products coming for the Wii next [fiscal] year. We have Red Steel … Sorry, I mentioned a game that I wasn’t supposed to mention.”
This quote was taken from a recent announcement by Ubisoft for their software lineup for their fiscal year 2009 (March 2009 – March 2010). He mentions a new Assassin’s Creed and Ghost Recon, and then let slip the Red Steel 2 announcement. I’m not sure why he wasn’t supposed to mention that a new Red Steel 2 was coming out this year, but it could have something to do with the rumored support for Motion Plus in the sequel—at least, that’s what everyone is hoping for : )

This week Hotel Dusk’s Karl Hyde captures Rebecca Mayes’ heart. After a week of interviews with the national press and two video game song commissions, Rebecca Mayes is happy to get back to the song writing. Her latest Video Game Review song accounts her novice’s experience of the film noire DS game.
With her first two video game song reviews – Press A [http://www.gamepeople.co.uk/audio_wii_wiisports.htm] and I’m a Wolf [http://www.gamepeople.co.uk/audio_wii_okami.htm] – still going strong, she can’t wait to hear what people make of her latest creation. In it she engages with the story and characters of the classic DS adventure Hotel Dusk in a way you’ve never heard before.
What started out as a hobby is fast becoming a full time concern for Rebecca as various parties line up to get their games covered. As her followers on twitter (http://www.twitter.com/audiogamer) will know, she has a new song in the pipeline about the new Hello Kitty game on DS. After that she’ll be turning her attention to the mighty PopCap games library.
