No, no, no! When Hideo Kojima said the MGS4 graphics on the PS3 weren’t to his "satisfaction" or that he realized there were lots of "restrictions" the PS3 posed, he didn’t mean it. He was just trying to be humble, you know! He’s not disappointed with the PS3 at all. He is totally happy with it. The PS3 is awesome. Says Kojima:

On the internet, there’s stuff saying "Hideo Kojima" isn’t satisfied with the PS3. I’d like to talk about that today. I just got back from Paris and did 15 interviews and everyone asked me about it, did I say that. The meaning of what I said has totally been changed, made totally different. Today, I’d like to talk about that. Why did it turn into that? When I’m doing an interview, I answer in Japanese, and I can’t control how the writer will interpret that into English… What I say is then translated in English, and the writer then changes that into their own words and writes that. So, right there, the meaning of what I say changes a lot.

DZ: It seems like Microsoft will be publsihing a direct follow up to Viva Pinata on the 360 soon, and it will go by the name Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise. From the screenshots below it is obvious to see the game will play very much like the first game and will not be a yet another party game followup, however it has not been revealed if Rare are developing it as of yet. It does look very nice though!

Unknown NeoGaf Member: saw Playr this morning too. It’s basically the new version of Gamer TV. Made by the same people with the same format but with a different, less nasally, presenter. Airs in the UK on Bravo at the weekend (a satellite/cable channel).

Boom Blox overcomes its flaws with its sheer volume of puzzles, engaging multiplayer, and robust level creator.

The Good

* Hundreds of puzzles

* Strong competitive and co-op multiplayer

* Level creator adds a ton of replay value.

The Bad

* Shooting gallery and escort-style levels dilute the fun

* Story and characters are embarrassingly bad

* Can be repetitive.
