Lost 5 PSO battle cards at E3 By Rich_T
Sonic team have either lost or had stolen from their stand at E3 5 prototype cards for the PSO card battle system, and want them back if they are found ( you would have thought they would have made backups, but then again) This message is on the sonic team PSO site: We hate to tell you this but, unfortunately, we have been missing 5 prototype character models of "PSO CARD BATTLE" during E-3 days at Nintendo booth. These are just pre-production samples, and we were using them for our game development of "PSO CARD BATTLE". Now this is causing us the serious trouble for our game development, so we would really appreciate if you can let us know any information about this. We are hoping that those models will come back to us in the near future. Thank you very much for your kindness in advance.

MiB update By Dirty12
Format: Playstation2 Genre: 3rd Person Action Adventure Age rating: 11+ Players: Single Player Release date: 19th July 2002 RRP: £39.99 (subject to change) Overview A prison hulk carrying the most dangerous alien gangs in the galaxy crashes into the Earth. The gangs escape, so it's up to the MIB to round them up or melt 'em down. But things are never as easy as they sound… Men in Black 2™ : Alien Escape is a 3rd person view action shooting game liberally infused with the movie's humour. The themes of speed, urgency, action and excitement are the central gameplay experience, with a smattering of tension-building slower-paced action for variety. The emphasis is always firmly on shooting action, not puzzle-solving. Features Men in Black humour captured in-game provides players a hilarious gameplay experience; Play either agent Jay or Kay with different gameplay outcomes based on each character; Weapons and Aliens from the MIB universe allow players to immerse themselves in the world of MIB Atmospheric effects, sounds and signature Melbourne House graphics allow the game to conjure up different player emotions (fear, anxiety, surprise)
