What a humdinger last week was! Our biggest week as far as news ever for Rare-Elite thanks to E3 where we learned that Rare is behind the new Avatars, and Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie are coming to the Xbox LIVE Arcade. Exciting aye? Everything went smooth up until yesterday when the server went down for the entire day. That killed the flow of ‘64 Days of Viva Pinata’ special and is also the reason I’m posting this story now insteady of yesterday. If you weren’t here last week, then this is what you missed…
