Hope your holiday was great. It is nose back to the grind stone here at SWML. In case you didn't notice, it is no longer 2008. Feel free to spit on the grave, no one liked that year anyways.

What lies in wait for 2009? More Full Metal Alchemist for one thing. It likely won't make it to the US until 2010 in any commercial sense, but you can it'll be on Youtube like glaze on a doughnut.

Another, not so hotly anticipated sequel is Patapon2. I'm excited, but I'm probably the only one.

Fracture is set to pop any day now in Japan (the 22nd, incidentally the day that Littlebigplanet DLC is to resume) and one can only hope this will be the start of a chain reaction to reverse all the damage done by the piles of utter crap released for the system in 2008.

As with any new year, our enthusiasm follows the proximity to cat model:




So let's make 2009 a year to remember, like the release of Sega in India. Who needs a Bollywood version of Memento when you have commercials like that?
