Phil Harrison leaves Sony on Feb. 29
"Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. today announced that Phil Harrison, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios will be resigning from his post Feb. 29. President and SCEI group CEO Kazuo Hirai will be taking over Harrison’s duties at that time. Neither Harrison nor the company are commenting on the reason for his departure. The timing is seemingly strange, however, with the PlayStation 3 enjoying a renewed popularity in recent months." Gameinformer online...
Phil Harrison was a visionary at Sony and his loss will certainly effect the future of the company and the viability of the PS3 as a whole. It makes me wonder what the circumstances of his departure are.

Little Gamers: First Impressions
This is also a limited demo from the wonderful XNA Club game Launcher. It is very fun. The game reminds me of games like Metal Slug and Alien Hominid. But the cute art work and the funny comments only add to playability. Combine with that, the hysterically accurate weapon sound effects. The game is awesome and I can't wait to play the full version.
XNA games appear to FAR better than anything currently on XBOX LIVE ARCADE. I'm starting to think that I will be spending the majority of my XBOX 360 time in the community games area when it opens.
Dishwasher: Most Awesome Game on XBOX 360 Impressions!
Having just played this game on XBOX 360 in it's limited demo form, I have to say that I am more excited about playing this than Gears of War 2. The game has a hysterical storyline where you are a dishwasher who has been killed and you come back as a zombie samurai.
The game's controls are awesome. The graphics are cool and modern. I think it's easily the greatest 2D action game out there. The difficulty isn't insane but it keeps you moving and mashing.
I cannot wait to play the FULL version of the game. If you haven't all ready go over and download XNA game launcher so you can download this awesome demo.
