It is so triumphant, its prey is sore,…The Cheekiest Monkey Of All…As it swings away the victor once more,The Cheekiest Monkey Of All.
It knows the cheekiness that men do,…The Cheekiest Monkey Of All…But it knows only it holds cheekiness true,…The Cheekiest Monkey Of All…

A canine fool made to turn it’s back,…The Cheekiest Monkey Of All…For said pooch doth know that the cheek it doth lack,…The Cheekiest Monkey Of All
The hound most humbled pressed the assault,…The Cheekiest Monkey Of All…But a primate prankster made good on his fault,…The Cheekiest Monkey Of All…

With clothy agility limbs shall be snatched,…The Cheekiest Monkey Of All…Begone, hapless Fido, for you are outmatched!…The Cheekiest Monkey Of All…
[Epic poetry by Jim Sterling, Introducing Leo and Bioautographical]

Colette:I’m now fully absorbed intoLost Odyssey, to the point where I haven’t touched another game in over a week. I have to salute Mistwalker…it’s hard to keep my attention for so long! SinceBaroqueis coming out soon though, I may be very tempted to stray.
Topher:Having my ass handed to me byN+.
Dyson:Totally not playingLost Odysseybecause I have no time in my life becauseProfessor Laytonand his wicked puzzles have taken me over. I also got a chance to playStreet Fighter IVthis week. All I can say is about it, is that it’s FUCKING AWESOME. That is all.
Orcist:I’ve been playingLost Odyssey, and then usingGeometry Warsto cheer me up and release adrenaline and endorphins into my poor, dilapidated shell of a psyche. Seriously,Lost Odysseyis unrelentingly sad, but I simply can’t get enough of it.

Grim:N+has been kicking my ass as well. Also,Advance Wars: Days of Ruin.
Jim:Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of my week has been soaked in aDynasty Warriors 6euphoria. Check out myfull reviewif you so please. Not much else for me — I need to polish off bothDMC4andLost Odysseybut the allure of mindless hack n’ slash action is just too strong for me to resist. Also, IT’S LU BU! LU BU HAS COME TO DESTROY US!

Nick:I spent the week at GDC in San Francisco, and played a bunch of games, including a handful I can’t talk about. Those that I can talk includeToo Human(write-up/impressions coming soon),Street Fighter IV(Linde’s got you covered on that),flOwon the PSP,Secret Agent Clank, and a handful of the XNA games now available on Xbox LIVE.
The game I’m playing right now isNursing the Flu or a Cold or Death, which Husky let me borrow.

Chad:GDC! WOO HOO! TAKE OFF YOUR TOP! Besides playingChibi-Robo: Park Patrolon the plane rides to and from San Francisco, I got some hands-on time withEchochrome, Fez, Street Fighter IV, Bionic Commando: Rearmed(impressions coming soon),Secret Agent Clank, God of War: Chains of Olympus, Super Smash Bros. Brawl,Castle Crashers,Okami(Wii), and some super secret games. Also, the Stickam party was the greatest thing of all time. I love you all.
Hamza:I playedLOLfor the DS and playedWii Fitand absolutely loved that! Then I beatSuper Metroid,Super Mario RPG, andSuper Mario Worldall within a half hour and had the best time of my life at the NARP with all the awesome peoples.

Niero:I BEATCOBRA TRIANGLE! THE LAST BOSS IS A SHARK!
Gameboi:I finally finished upDMC4, and enjoyedViewtiful Joein my spare time. Boy oh boy, would I love to see another VJ game this generation. I could really go for anotherJak and Daxtergame, too.
