    Think I'll also start posting reviews from Zero Punctuation in these threads for entertainment (maybe he'll catch up and review somewhat-current games):

    The demo for NFL Tour is awesome. Can't wait to hit guys with Mario and the Texans.

    Advance Wars should be awesome as always.

    Don't really like what I saw out of the no more heroes preview. Hopefully it plays better than it looks.

    Suda heads Grasshopper, although I don't believe they're the same as Marvelous Interactive. Marvelous Interactive seems to publish their games (in Japan), and will occasionally work together with them on a game (like Contact for the DS). I don't think Grasshopper had much of anything to do with the Harvest Moon games. I'm going mostly by Wikipedia entries though, so there might be some lesser-known connections between them that I'm not familiar about.
