It seems as if Sony and Microsoft are finally ramping up for another console war. While I’m not looking forward to having to shell out another few hundred bucks just to play the latest games, I will admit I always love the crazy fan-made mock-ups of the new consoles. They almost never resemble anything close to the final product, but most of them look pretty rad.
Back in the present, we have several new reviews, and Sterling the Hutt is surprised that there are civil people in the world. Though, thinking about the petty squabbles that people will surely have over the new consoles makes me think that his general air of cynicism is probably the right way to go.
