*whimper*
Say it ain't so! "Namco to make Peanuts games."
We don't need a Charlie Brown videogame. We really don't, and I can't think of a reason why Namco would make a deal like this, aside from a) they really, REALLY like Peanuts, or b) they want to cash in on the license to make a quick buck. I'm praying that it's a), because that might mean we get a decent game out of this, but my gut says otherwise. ¶ 11:18 a.m.
