Dear Epic,

I tend to think we, the gaming populace, have been fairly civil today. Sure, there've been a few incensed comments about your Wii-bashing (and subsequent coining of the term "wiggling" in relation to the Wii -- thanks for that), and your lack of a Gears of War 2 demo, but for the most part, we've taken things in stride, shoulders slack and face contorted into a picture of nonchalance. But guys, you've crossed the line this time. Through a series of decisions... [Read More]

Wii To Dominate 2008?

With the Wii consistently selling out as soon as it hits store shelves, and the DS continuing to sell like hotcakes, 2007 was definitely Nintendo's year. According to Daniel Ernst of Hudson Square Research (whose fiscal 2009 outlook we also covered here and here), that momentum will carry Mario and co. right through 2008 as well.

For fiscal year 2008 (which ended this March), Sony sold 9 million PS3 units globally, Microsoft sold 9.5 million Xbox 360s and Nintendo sold 18.5 million... [Read More]

Wii - DVD compatible?

It really annoys me that the Wii can't play DVDs although I think it can. Do you think Nintendo is planning to make this a feature you can purchase online? If so... it's kinda lame, considering all the other consoles don't require you to pay extra to use it as a DVD player.

Mario Kart Wii

Mario Kart Wii launches with three major additions to the Mario Kart formula - namely tricks, motor bikes and Nintendo's latest piece of plastic - the Wii Wheel (I love it really). Nintendo's classic racing formula is once again recycled for the Wii installment - how does it stand up to the Mario Karts of the past?

Major League Baseball 2k8

If you liked Wii Sports baseball but felt the gameplay was too limited, MLB 2k8 might be right for you. The season and franchise modes allow you to pick your favorite team with a season length of your choice. While playing minor league teams is absent from the Wii version, you can still call up and send down players, which is very useful if your team has good prospects.

The players batting and pitching styles are based on their real life counterparts. Knowing a players strengths... [Read More]

Guitar Hero 3

The gameplay here is the same old Guitar Hero note strumming we have all grown to love. To play the notes, you press down the corresponding button and strum when the on screen note hits the bar at the bottom. This becomes more difficult as the difficulty level raises. Starting at easy, which uses only three colors of notes, another note is added each difficulty level until all five are used when playing on hard. Expert still uses all five, but makes the notes come faster and at a higher... [Read More]

WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2008

Ladies and Gentleman, prepare to enter the squared circle, that is if you want to enter it.

Thats not a good thing to question either, with wrestling games you want to enter the squared circle, not question whether you do or not (unless of course you find yourself fighting a big guy).

The game is not perfect, and not a lot of games are, but this game is a borderline renter.

The Wii Version looks... [Read More]
