Mini-Cone
This is just a heads up that this week is supposed to be the week for the "ship date" if you will of the newest addition to our family. I will probably be gone for a few days when that happens, so this is advanced warning that I could disappear at any moment. Currently we are due on Thursday, but who really knows when this will go down.

Back from Spring Break!
MVP Baseball 2004 is just that good. What else can be said about it other then "Dammit its good to be back in baseball season".
Baseball season is great. I have played ball ever since I was a kid. I grew up on it, its in my blood. Mark my words this season will be one of the better seasons ever.
Splinter Cell 2 is coming very very soon. This is why you get Xbox live people. I have read some good stuff on the multiplayer aspects. You can bet the crew will be all over it.
Mad props to Rastakilla for the great baseball game. Lets make a Boston/New York series, name the time and place.

Awesome console deals
I normally don't post news like this but I know $$ is a major factor for many of you concerning purchases of a new console. We are just a few short weeks away from possibly seeing the Xbox drop to $150 or lower, but in the meantime ShopNBC.com is offering $50 off a $99 purchase. This means you can pick up a GC or GBA SP for $49 and an Xbox or PS2 for $129. Not a bad deal at all. You do have to call in the order as the website is out of stock on everything right now. Simply call their toll free number (1-800-884-2212) and use coupon code 88394101. The code is valid thru April 15th.
The GC isn't listed online so it is item #V22956 for those interested.
Thanks to VGTalk.com for the info.

Wow
Gaming perfection is an impossible task. Many games come out that are very close to perfection in their genre, and then even those games become a standard to build from. MVP Baseball 2004 is one of those games. Finally a sports game that’s in my opinion has reached a high level of game design and execution. A level only reached before by FIFA 2003 and 2004; now Major League Baseball has a share of the few games that can be called excellent. The game captures the total feel of major league baseball down to the minute details of how to run a franchise. For those that want total control you get TOTAL control of every team in the club AA, AAA, and MLB. You can play every game in each of the minor league teams as well as the MLB teams. You can move up and down players, sign free agents, sign young players and raise them up through your farm team, trade for farm team prospects, I mean name it you can do it. Best part is if you do not want to bother with all that, then you can sim most every step of the way. My goodness this game is more then good, its like, well, like the baseball game I have always wanted.

Battlefield Ho Chi Minh Style!!
One thing that I have not been hearing alot of here at Snackbar is the release of the most anticipated, BF Vietnam. Now being a huge fan of the BF 1942 series, there was no way that I would forget about this new BF series. Set in Vietnam, you battle none other than Charlie himself. With all new graphics, weapons, and vehicles this game should be awesome. Vietnam shipped yesterday to retailers around the country, and should be sold in stores tommorrow. Also out in stores this week, is Namco's Breakdown. An all new aspect in fighting, driving, and shooting all in the FPS perspective.
In other news, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tommorrow is due out next week, along with the much talked about Counter Strike: Condition Zero. If you live in the San Antonio area make sure you stop by EB Games Huebner Oaks to reserve your copy or buy a copy of a new release. If you don't live in the SA area, then make sure you stop by your nearest EB Games. And don't forget to tell them that the crew at Snackbar sent ya.

Sony has already won the next gen console wars?
I love it when analysts start spouting off things they assume will happen. Just like we saw all those price drops happen...oh wait, they didn't. The BBC is reporting that Sony has already won the next round. I am not sure how that is possible since we are a good 2 years out from the next generation consoles even being available.
There is also a WalMart ad floating about showing the Xbox available for $150. The drop is supposed to occur in 2 weeks or so. We will keep you posted.

Jason Rubin to leave Naughty Dog
Gamasutra is carrying a story that Jason Rubin is set to leave Naughty Dog after the completion of Jak III. This is very sad news and I only hope that ND can continue the great work they have been doing after they lose this great member of the ND family.
