I brought up Battlezone for the PSP a while back, and it quietly faded from my mind. Well now that has all changed! I bring to you the pack shot which ended up in my mail box a little while ago. So, I’m guessing Atari is still releasing this thing…

*update* My engrish is strong it seems – I really need a copy editor. Anyway, I just received word from those crazy cats at Atari — my review copy should be here shortly! Have they done the original game justice? Is Atari planning a 1-for-10 reverse stock split? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?  Check back and maybe I’ll have some answers.  Maybe.

So, this morning I had an interview for a QA Tester position down at Vicarious Visions, my friendly neighborhood game developer. It went pretty well, I played a canceled and unreleased Gameboy Advance game (they hit me with an NDA right away – so I’ll leave out the details – I’m sure you understand) and according to my interviewer, I discovered a bug no one else had found. Go me!

I have to give a call tomorrow to find out if I’m offered the job. I can’t decide of I’m going to take it – if it is even offered to me. The pay is so low. I am doing work as a “part time” computer consultant right now and well, lets just say I do OK pay-wise and have a lot of free time. Problem is my main customer needs an in office visit once or twice a month – the game test gig might be fun but, it’s a pay cut if I can’t at least keep this one customer.

I guess I’ll have to wait till tomorrow to see what’s up…

It’s official I can no longer put off buying a PS2. I must the interweb commands it! From Kotaku:
