Golden Sun DS?
Golden Sun, considered one of the best original role playing games on the Gameboy Advance, could be seeing another sequel for the Nintendo DS. When Hiroyuki and Shugo Takahashi of Camelot were asked about any future plans for the series, they responded:
“We want to play that game too, just as much as you. We love Golden Sun! We are working on a lot of different things – a lot of different design documents and so on, including some different RPG ideas. Don’t worry, we’re thinking about RPG stuff! We’ve got all these ideas, many many different things we’re thinking about – but of course, we still have just one team, so we’ll see what happens.”
The original game received exceptional reviews and praise from critics, as well as selling many copies. A new entry in the series would definitely satisfy the hunger for new RPGs on the Nintendo DS.

CTA Pulls GTA Ads
The Chicago Transit Authority has decided to pull down all Grand Theft Auto IV advertisements. A local Fox News affiliate reported on the subject, leading to a response by the president of the CTA, Ron Huberman that agreed to take down the ads. The question was triggered by the recent major school shootings occurring in the Windy City. Illinois is notorious for being especially critical of violent video games.
But then again, isn’t it the parent’s responsibility to make sure what your child is allowed and not allowed to do in the world? There are plenty of violent movies that are running ads in the CTA, and I’m sure a lot of them contain more adult themes than Rockstar’s creation. Movies can be sneaked into, and can usually be watched without parents even knowing. But video games are played at home most of the time, and it’s unlikely that a kid will be able to purchase a full-priced retail game without a help of an adult.
