Because there are loads of little stories and not loads of time.

• Blizzard’s told Eurogamer that World of Warcraft may never get player-housing. Denied.
• Big Sandwich Games’ downloadable fantasy strategy thing, HOARD, will release on PSP in the US on March 22 for $9.99, and on PS3 and PSP in Europe in early April. It’s already out on PS3 in the US. There’s a press release here.
• PopCap’s been talking about its IPO intention again. There’s nothing really new in this CNBC report, but be aware it’s happening.
• Hamilton’s Great Adventure, FatShark’s puzzle-platformer, is to launch in April for $9.99 on both the PC and PSN. That’s on Joystiq.

• AMD’s launched its $700 Radeon HD 6990. It’s the world’s fastest graphics card, apparently. That’s on Engadget.
• A Harmonix dev has posted this skit about shit games reviewing. 7/10.
• IGN’s posted an “original video” of Charlie Sheen playing Black Ops. This was a bad idea.
• Games cause sleeplessness, apparently. Eurogamer reports on this bombshell.
