Eminem Writing Memoirs

28

February

Eminem is writing a book that will provide an “intimate look” inside his life. The AP reports that The Way I Am, due for release this fall, is “every bit as raw and uncensored as the man himself,” according to his publisher.

Eminem has not released an album since 2004’s “Encore,” and he apparently doesn’t have another one in the pipeline. I’d think the book would have a hard time taking off with Eminem out of the spotlight for so long, but that’s a problem for his publisher, Dutton Books, to deal with.

Disgaea Coming To PS3

27

February

NIS America announced today that Digaea 3 is coming to the PS3 in August of this year. The Disgaea games are strategy RPGs marked by a 2D anime world, a bizarre cast of characters, incredibly deep gameplay, and hilarious dialog.

The previous Disgaea games fit comfortably on the PS2 and PSP with their charming-but-dated graphics, but NIS looks to give their PS3-bound title the appropriate treatment. IGN quotes the press release as saying that Disgaea 3 “makes a bold new step towards the next generation console with a whole new cast, story and game system” in addition to the new terrain-altering Geo Block.

This game definitely won’t be for everyone, but this is big news for fans of this fantastic series. The PS3’s summer keeps looking better and better.
