Worst Title For A Cartoon Ever
"Pre-Teen Raider" sounds disturbingly like something NAMBLA would finance.

Two Video Games That Absolutely Will Not Suck
Here's the latest trailer for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption:
It's a new Metroid Prime which is golden in and of itself. The early reports coming out are that not only is it possibly the best game in the series so far (and by series I mean Prime and not Metroid as a whole), but it also is the first solid shooting game on the Wii. Which is pretty much what Wii owners have been waiting for since the system was first revealed lo those many years ago. The production design looks as a good as ever and the game even features a deeper story line with fully voice acted NPCs.
Also, here's a jello Metroid dessert which I am determined to learn how to make:
Anyway, the second game is The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, a new Zelda game controlled exclusively with the Nintendo DS's stylus. This video has the courtesy to show how the stylus is actually used along with the gameplay footage. It does not, however, have the common courtesy to speak English. Still, it's a solid representation of what the game is all about.
It's also designed in the wonderfully charming style of Wind Waker which I'm happy to see. It even appears to be the same version of Hyrule complete with vast oceans to explore.
The end of this trailer also features what I'm assuming is some sort of online multi-player feature. Like capture the flag, except with Triforce fragmments. Not bad!

Two Video Games That Hopefully Won't Suck
The first is Aqua Teen Hunger Force's Zombie Ninja Pro-Am, inexplicably being released exclusively for the PS2. As the title makes it abundantly clear this is a golf game (insofar as there are golf clubs and...holes). Everything else appears to be exactly what you would expect from ATHF.
The second game (and ranking much higher on my anticipation-o-tron) is Penny Arcade's On The Rain-Slick Precipice Of Darkness Episode 1. This game, in addition to being written and designed by Penny Arcade, is a wonderful callback to the point-and-click adventures of my youth (see Sam & Max Hit The Road, Day Of The Tentacle, et al.). Also, this one will be playable on my beloved Mac, so that's definitely a plus.
