Red Steel 2/Dead Space info coming soon - NGamer
The latest issue of unofficial UK Nintendo publication NGamer can be found in stores from today, though it’s next month’s edition which looks more interesting.
At the back of the mag, the next month page advertises an ‘Easter reviews special’, covering the likes of GTA: Chinatown Wars, Broken Sword and Little King’s Story.
But more excitingly, the [...]
Chop Till You Flop - Is Dead Rising Wii a duffer?
Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop, the Wii-make of the critically-lauded 360 zombie actioner is released today in the US, yet bizarrely - at the time of writing, anyway - there’s not a single review up on aggregator site Metacritic. That’s never a good sign, and indeed, the suggestion that it might not be the [...]
This week’s UK charts - Fit off the top, Overkill holds firm
No surprise that the return of one of gaming’s best-known franchises toppled Wii Fit from the all-formats chart, with the magisterial Street Fighter IV dragon-punching its way to the summit. Nintendo’s phenomenally successful non-game only dropped to second spot, despite fierce competition from the nerd-tastic Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II on PC. Mario Kart, [...]
MadWorld hits Europe on March 20th
Slicing, smashing, bludgeoning and bashing its way to store shelves across Europe next month is Platinum Games’ ultraviolent destroy-em-up MadWorld - publisher Sega announcing today that the stylish scrapper will launch on March 20th.
It’s another valiant attempt by the Japanese giant to bring a bit of Mature action for us Wii owners starved of blood, [...]
Smash Bros. creator joins forces with Nintendo to create new dev team Project Sora
A nice spot from GoNintendo here - Nintendo has some new info on its official Japanese site which says that Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai is involved in a brand new project. Naturally, this being Nintendo, there are few concrete details, but it seems to be a new second-party company working under Nintendo named Project [...]
Harvest Moon gets a speed boost with new fast-paced puzzler
As anyone who’s ever played a Harvest Moon game will know, having a surfeit of vegetables is rarely an issue - certainly to begin with. Yet that’s precisely the problem in Harvest Moon: Frantic Farming, a puzzle-based twist on the green-fingered series we all know and love. (And sometimes hate.)
It’s set in the world of [...]
Wii Sports Resort here by May?
It’s looking increasingly likely that Wii Sports Resort will arrive in either April or May, if new information on a Wii version of Virtua Tennis 2009 is anything to go by.
VG247.com is reporting that the MotionPlus logo has been seen on the Sega game’s boxart, and given that the third-party release is arriving in May, [...]
Phoenix Wright faces the music
If you’re a fan of the music in Capcom’s superb Ace Attorney series, you’ll no doubt be disappointed to hear that you missed the chance to hear it performed live by a full orchestra at the Gyakuten Saiban Tokubetsu Hout Orchestra Concert 2008 in April of last year. Unless you were there, in which case [...]
Review: House of the Dead Overkill
By most ordinary critical standards, House of the Dead Overkill isn’t a five-star game. However, it’s a long time since I played anything which put such a grin on my face throughout, and from gloriously profane beginning to genuinely jaw-flooring climax (seriously, no matter what you’re expecting, you have never seen anything like it) this [...]
House of the Dead: Overkill HandCannon - the best Wii lightgun yet?
First things first: House of the Dead Overkill is almost certainly the best on-rails shooter on Wii, and you should go out and buy it immediately. I’m not ready to review it just yet as I’m only three levels in, but I’m confident enough to say it topples Ghost Squad from its throne, despite being [...]
