What has happened today then, I hear you ask?
Well, as always, not much. But it's quite interesting.
Firstly, some old news I forgot to report. Rareware registered another name for Perfect Dark, entitled "Perfect Dark Evolution." The term, "A shot in the dark" has also been registered.
But today, Rareware has registered "Kameo". Hmmm. What the hell is Kameo?
Rareware have made a reputation of themselves by telling lies to entertain themselves. Not so long ago, one Rare official told an interviewer that there was a beta Conker that had a different ending on it. Complete crap, only told to amuse themselves.
I doubt that Rare will spend money for a laugh though...
But then, it could just be the name of a new character, such as in the next Banjo installment. I wouldn't be suprised if it was.
Next, Retro Studios, the guys making Metroid and the unknown RPG, have registered the name "Runeblade". Could it be the name of the RPG?
Perhaps. But Retro's eariler trade name was Runeblade. It would be strange to register it AFTER they abandon it, but they may just be securing it for later use, "saving it for a rainy day". They could be using Runeblade as the name of the RPG as a little in joke though...
Spyro the Dragon will be a title for Gamecube. Along with Crash, which will be released at launch, it looks like Sony don't have any mascots any more... except perhaps, PaRappa the Rapper. ;0)
In other news... *camera swiches to new angle*
It looks like Obi-Wan, the cancelled PC follow/preceed up/down to Jedi Knight, will be a X-Box exclusive. This is a rumour at the moment, but it is very possible that it is true.
Lucasarts have also registered the name "Bounty Hunter". It is rumoured to be console, but multi console. This may mean just PS2 and X-Box though, which it probably is. Bounty Hunter is not supposed to be shown at E3.
I shall be reporting news as it happens. Thank you, and good afternoon.

Tekken will appear on a Nintendo system.
The end of
Conker was excellent may not be what we all expect from one but just it made you feel sad and desperate for a sequel. If this happen then the games ending is good.

Mascots - a good way to recognise my car.
Mario swings precariously from the passenger side of the front windscreen while Bart Simpson happily moons out the back and Bagpuss and Flat Eric take charge of the side doors.

I don't think either of these really counted as mascots anyway.. surely a true mascot should be a character from a game made by the same company selling the console?
Ah well. Much easier to think of Sony as faceless, unemotional (evil) corporate giants... a company mascot would de-dehumanise them (sounds a little odd, that).
I suppose they could claim Some of the tekken characters as mascots - lord knows they've been in enough games now!

Crash on the Gamecube? Sounds good to me. Maybe have him as a side part character in the new Mario? Maybe not... :-)
True what you said about there not being a PS2 mascot. I always wanted them to have one, as they could advertise the PS2 along side the mascot. Oh well... at least the Gamecube and GBA are looking very promising indeed.
I am just hoping that there will be a Graffiti type game (not JSR) as I am into Graffiti Art :-) Not into graffing on walls etc though!
