Wii Gets More Virtual Console Games Today

Today Nintendo will unleash four absolute klassiques on the Wii Virtual Console world! Actually, none are that exciting to me except maybe Alien Crush. I was always jealous of those jerkstore kids with their rich, understanding parents who bought them a TurboGrafx 16. Legendary Axe and Splatterhouse LOOKED awesome…
I played Ice Hockey a little back […]

What’s Out This Week 12.11.06

Because the GameCube version of Zelda doesn't count, this week the top release pick is going to go to the the old nerd stand-by, Star Trek. But this is not just any old Star Trek, no, this is Star Trek: Legacy! Featuring the voices of every captain from Shatner to Bakula, Legacy is an RTS […]

November Sales Numbers Up 34% + Only 197K PS3s Sold

The numbers are in, and as predicted, Sony only managed to eek out 197K PS3s for their launch which is less than half of what they promised (400K) in the weeks leading up to the launch…which itself was less than what they promised only a few months before that. Come on, Sony…

Earth Defense Force X Comes To North America

D3 Publisher will be bringing it's heretofore overseas-only Earth Defense Force series to the US next spring.

An Xbox 360 exclusive, Earth Defense Force 3 (or Earth Defence Force X as it will be known here) features an army of gun-toting humans who find various means to blow away an invading swarm of giant robot […]

Wii-mote Strap Probe.

Nintendo today announced a "probe" into the many reports of Wii straps breaking mid-flail causing Wii-motes to go flying, windows to break, fingers to bleed and general household MAYHEM!

Nintendo Prez Satoru Iwata had this to say, "We are investigating. Some people are getting a lot more excited than we'd expected. We need to better […]

Rainbow Six: Vegas Review

TOM CLANCY’S RAINBOW SIX: VEGAS
Ubisoft, PS2, $49.99, Xbox 360 $59.99
You know the drill: What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas –  except when it involves terrorists taking the city hostage. (Guess someone could benefit from a long stay at the infamous Chicken Ranch.) Featuring a new hero/team, the famed first-person tactical shooter franchise’s next-generation […]

Eragon Review

ERAGON
Vivendi Universal, PS2/Xbox $49.99, Xbox 360, $59.99
Based on a movie that’s based on a best-selling book by a 15-year-old kid (little jerk!), Eragon is the tale of a boy and his dragon fighting against the evil king…John Malkovich. The game borrows heavily from the Lord of the Rings action titles with various button mashing […]

Guitar Hero 2 Review

GUITAR HERO 2
Red Octane, PS2, $49.99
Last year’s Guitar Hero was probably the single most talked about title among gamers and non-nerds alike, quickly becoming the ultimate party-hearty game. It’s just way too irresistible (especially if you are wasted) to pass up clicking away at Pantera’s “Cowboys From Hell” on a toy guitar while a […]

NBA 2K7 Review

NBA 2K7
2K Sports, PS2 $49.99 Xbox 360, $59.99 
Keep your high-top Chucks and moldy headband in the closet, there’s no reason to show off your weak “Cable Guy” air-ball jumper when you can just save face playing NBA 2K7. Arguably the greatest sports games to hit the market in 2006, this one puts its […]
