- Grandia details announced; airship!
The humble deities at Square Enix have blessed their equally-deferential following with some new details on upcoming Playstation 2 RPG, Grandia III. It is not surprising to see that in addition to the presence of many aircraft in the game, the player will be able to control one of these flying marvels to move around the map. Not only this, but the use of a on-board telescope provides countless hours of first-person zooming fun! Following in the footsteps of such classic titles as Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy, this is a move sure to seize audiences for the game's August 4th Japanese release. Famitsu

- Vin Diesel signed for Hitman movie; 1% statistical chance of being good
Vin Diesel has reportedly been cast as Agent 47 in the forthcoming Hitman movie as well as future games in the series. "We've selected Diesel for good reasons," said Dickey Swick, casting director for Hitman, "because he's so bald and is an amazingly talented and gifted thespian." Given that 10% of Diesel's movies are good, and 10% of all video game movies are good, Hitman: the Movie has a 1% statistical chance of beeing any good at all.
