With the announcements that the PS3 versions of Alone in the Dark and Red Alert both being delayed (or possibly canceled), I can’t help but wonder if this is going to be a sign of things to come. Are we often going to be given an early X-Box 360 version of a game and then a PS3 version around the horizon? Or are both versions going to take the GTA IV route and be delayed simultaneously while devs try to figure out how to code for the PS3 version?

I’m a big Pixar fan. Ever since Toy Story I’ve seen every Pixar movie in theaters sometimes more than once, and I own all of them on DVD. It’s true, in my eyes, they can do no wrong. I’m warning you, this review is very biased but there’s nothing I could do about it.

The animation was, simply put, amazing! This fictional, digital rodent had more life in him than most block-buster actors in the industry! The talented people at Pixar breathed virtual life into 0’s and 1’s and Remy the Rat was born. At least that’s how it felt. Despite the cartoony look of the movie, the rats looked and felt real down to their noses twitching involuntarily (but don’t blink or you’ll miss it). This movie was obviously a labor of love every step of the way.
