Because we’re having a slow news time, what with there being a typical post-christmas lull, a global recession and nothing but a load of announcements & promises in the form of press releases (coupled with the fact we forgot to do it in 2008), here’s the CNS Best of 2008
Minutes after accidentally stumbling into a garish landscape, Andrew Bryant is insulted by a gnomish mexican wrestler… It’s just like visiting the in-laws!
Sorry for the puns, but Kotaku & Destructoid both posted these clear adverts for sterilisation and/or euthanasia… It’s the goddamn Nintendo SIXTY FOUR scenario all over again! Cover your ears as you hit the jump…
