Hello Faithful Gaming News Readers.
It is hotter than a subway train full of mouth breathers in my apartment, and I'm sweating all over my laptop, but that won't stop me from bringing you news you can lose.
In hardware news, YYJoy is pumping out a bootleg remote and nunchuck for those who can afford the Wii, but can't afford brand name controllers. From their photo they look like the real thing, so I guess for all you poor kids out there, this may be good. Just don't let your rich, douche-y, nerd-core friends come over and spot them. Fuckers.

On the new development horizon, Sid "Viscously Old" Meier supporters have a new reason to withdrawal from any real form of life as Meier, Take Two and 2K Games announce Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization for the PC. Decrepit gamers may remember the original Colonization PC game that appeared on the scene 14 years ago. (Yeah, 14 years) Old Meier decided that this archaic turn-based strategy needed an update, and is working to release the title in Fall 2008. That Meier is a smart one. Rejuvenate an old fan base with updates while simultaneously enticing younger gamers. Follow the candy trail, my pets, and watch out for the glory hole.

What about the Software? There are new screens available for The Last Remnant from Square Enix. For the Xbox 360, The Last Remnant has a very Dynasty Warriors look to it, and the overview sounds similar to those ancient Japanese tales of samurai and the slain. IGN attended a press conference for Square Enix yesterday, and a release date is set for this winter. You can read the blog and check out a trailer here: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/880/880407p1.html
