Hey guys, what's up? The air conditioning in my house shat the bed, and in 90 degree summer weather here in sunny South Florida, that's not good. So, as I type this at a local Starbucks, I do have three things to throw out as I get back to blogging.  
 
1. I mentioned in a previous blogpost how I heard that Q Entertainment is making a spiritual successor to Rez, and I wondered if it was really necessary. Well, after seeing Child of Eden at E3, I think it looks pretty good. It didn't answer my question on whether a spiritual sequel to Rez was really necessary, but I'll have a firm answer on it when the game is released early next year. My gut impression is that it certainly looks the part with the acid-washed visuals, and the motion controls demoed at the Ubisoft press conference work well. I do appreciate being able to use a traditional gamepad, though, just in case. 
 
2. My backlog is embarrassing. I blame the Xbox Live Arcade weekly sales for that. Does anyone have a huge backlog? How did you get it so big? 
 
3. My game of E3: Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. Seriously. In Criterion I trust. This has a very good shot at dethroning Daytona USA 2 as my favorite game of all time.  
 
Oh, speaking of, in a bit of shameless self-promotion, can you guys join my Facebook group? It's an attempt to get Sega to make a new Daytona USA game for HD consoles. I need all the members I can, thanks! 
 
Anyways, have a nice day, all!
