Woo, 300th article!  Do I level up?

Speaking of leveling... I'm traveling some for business this week, so the timing of Pokemon: Diamond being released over the weekend couldn't be any better.  Admittedly I already have Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters, Hotel Dusk, Izuna, and of course Puzzle Quest queued up for the trip, but still -- one just can't resist a new flavor of Pokemon, especially one that brings it to a new platform like the DS.  Many gaming friends I have turn up their nose at Pokemon, but very few have actually tried it.  At it's core it is the same addictive "level up" RPG that those same people love, just with a monster-training bent and of course tons of SD anime saccharine.  My tolerance for that is pretty high it seems.

In my travels to various Gamestops around the area to pick up a copy I was also looking for the new Game Informer with juicy GTA IV info and screenshots.  Sure, I've peeped the scans online but I want to be able to really look at those screenshots on the printed page.  Unfortunately, they all still had last month's GI, so I guess the search continues...
