Around the Network #3
Welcome to the MyMedia Around the Network feature! Some of you may remember this as the MyMedia Community Update, and it is essentially the same thing with an emphasis on type of content rather than each site.
This will be published each Monday afternoon/evening to keep you up to date with everything that has happened across MyMedia in the past 7 days. We'll also update you on what is planned for the week ahead.
Enjoy!

Admin Interviews 2009!
The admin interviews for 2009 are upon us! Some of you may remember them from last year, and after such a large change in our admin teams over the past 12 months we decided it was time to do it all again.
They will be posted according to site in the blogs section. The MyMedia staff will be first up tonight, and followed by MyWii on Thursday. MyPS3 will be posted next Monday and followed in a similar pattern by My360, MyDS, MyFrag, MyPSP and MyTelly/MyBluRay. To any admin who hasn't heard of these stay tuned, questions will be issued around a week before your site is due to be published.
Reviews
Wii Sports Resort Review
A taste
Like its predecessor Wii Sports Resort is a fantastic multiplayer game, and is a must own for any social Wii gamer. It’s a good follow up to the original game, but not quite the sequel that we were hoping for. While a little more depth would have been nice a majority of the Mini-games are great and are sure to have you entertained for hours, pending that you can get some friends to come and play with you! The MotionPlus controls for the most part are excellent and present a bright future for motion in Wii games.

Ninja Blade Review
A taste
Ninja Blade brings nothing new to the genre and does a good job of ruining some fun combat mechanics by incorporating a horrendously high amount of quick time events. The boss battles aren’t as big as they should be and this ultimately distances Ninja Blade from genuine entries in the ninja hack-and-slash genre.

Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition Review
A taste
Ask any adventure gamer what their top three favourite adventures are and no doubt The Secret of Monkey Island will be there, and with good reason. It provided quantum leaps in character development, storyline and comical writing, and for the adventure gaming genre in general. With adventure gaming rising from the ashes in the past few years, Lucasarts have reformed their adventure division to release a Special Edition of The Secret of Monkey Island. A game that is widely regarded by millions of fans across the globe, nineteen years later, is the game still relevant?
