Prophecy Reviewed at GameSpot
Solid Eric noticed that GameSpot has posted their official review of Prophecy Advance. After everything balances it comes out similar to IGN's review with a solid 7.4, but it's interesting to note they have opposite opinions on aspects such as sound effects and music. To each their own. As usual, graphics and fun factor receive the highest ratings. Sound brings it down a little. Since GameSpot's subscription service works differently than IGN, you can view the entire review here now. Don't forget that GameSpot is also one of the places where you can rate the game yourself as well. Right now reader reviews give it an average of 8.2 We can easily influence that. It's also worth noting that Prophecy Advance currently is GameSpot's second most popular GBA game right now, beating out Wario Ware, Advance Wars 2, Donkey Kong Country and the new Golden Sun.
Wing Commander: Prophecy is a triumph on the Game Boy Advance, but it's not without its flaws. Given a bit more time to tweak the controls and further polish the graphics, Destination Software could have had a groundbreaking work on its hands. Instead, Prophecy is just a solid space combat game that will appeal to anyone looking for the likes of Wing Commander or Colony Wars on a handheld.

Amazon's Ups and Downs
TC noticed that Amazon shifted their Prophecy Advance price slightly again. It's down to $28.88. This appears to be because they've shifted to J&R Music and Computer World as their supplier. If you navigate the site you can still buy it from TRU for $29.99. In slightly related news, it appears the TRU side of the site was sold out about a week ago. They've gotten more back in. It might have been their first shipment that was discounted to $19.99 and the MSRP price reflects their restock.

Japan Gets Two Colors for the Price of One
The day after we report about red and black SP's coming to the US, Japan goes and gets another limited edition color. And it happens to be a combination of red and black in one unit. But there's more, it's a special SP designed to launch with the Boktai vampire game by Hideo Kojima. If you haven't heard about it yet, the game has a built in sensor that detects sunlight and uses that to charge your powers and whatnot. It's an interesting item. You can read more about it at GameSpot here.
