I really wasn’t kidding when I said people formed rings around the new races to oooh and aaah. This is, admittedly, a bad picture, but at the center of it all, you can see my new guildie Azameth (hi Azameth) dancing the night away, and a couple of guys that were running by [...]

If you happened to be watching The Super Marios Bros. Super Show! circa 1989-1990 (I know I was) you would have seen a segment here and there devoted to the adventures of everyone’s favourite boy in tights. No, not Peter Pan…Legend of Zelda’s Link.

Also from the NPD Group was a tally of the top performing console games and accessories of 2006 by sales totals.

Not unexpected news really, what with two major console launches and all the associated bits and bobs required to make them cool. Still, good news for an industry that seems always on the verge of panic when it comes to maintaining interest and maintaining sales.

Oh, all right, so technically, the game isn’t released until tomorrow but really, if you’re really that much of a fan, then it’s midnight tonight or nothing.
