Sega slides one under the radar: Sonic and the Black Knight
While we all recover from E3, not that there was much to recover from, a leaked scan of the cover of September’s Nintendo Power managed to sneak it’s way onto the NeoGAF forums for the world to see. Warning, the image may shock you.
What makes the picture of a new Sonic game so interesting is [...]
“The Conduit” gameplay vids emerge from E3
In an effort to show that E3 wasn’t a complete and utter waste of time for Wii fans, IGN has posted some of the first detailed gameplay videos from High Voltage Software’s sci-fi shooter The Conduit. The sneak peek was offered behind closed doors and thankfully gives me something to look forward to early next [...]
And the World goes “meh”: Nintendo’s Keynote
All eyes are on the gaming world this week with the Expo extravaganza that is E3. While the air is rife with anticipation, things seem to have fallen a little sour for the Nintendo crowd.
With very few things to actually anticipate, Nintendo fans had some pretty fantastic guessing games as to what the Big [...]
Mega Man 9 - Multi-platform Retro
Oh, you beautfiul thing you. In case you’ve been living under a rock, Capcom recently cracked the gaming world in half with their announcement of Mega Man 9. A modern game that is being developed with the same tools and techniques that made it a classic during the 1980s? It’s like Capcom is writing videogame [...]

Looking for a proper plastic fretboard workout now that you’ve completed Guitar Hero III on Expert, and don’t fancy the look of “that other band” Guitar Hero, or the carpal tunnel inducing Guitar Hour: On Tour for DS? Well look no further, as it seems inflated bank accounts are drawn to each other in the [...]

Wii-vival: Sam and Max Season One coming to the Wii
I promise to never make a Wii pun in a news title ever again. Now on to the actual news.
Coming this August to a Wii near you, hopefully yours, it’s Sam and Max: Season One. What makes this news so special? Well for one thing, Sam and Max are finally coming to consoles. This [...]
GC Review: LostWinds
It cost me 1000 Wii Points, or 10 dollars to purchase LostWinds, a game that I had been eagerly awaiting. Upon recently completing it, the old adage “You get what you pay for…” comes to mind. This is not a bad thing. I have often paid 50 dollars for games that haven’t provided [...]
Getting the Valve on your Wii?
Over on CVG, Valve Software’s Doug Lombardi gave a rather interesting interview expressing Valve’s potential interest in breaking out of their FPS mold, and trying something new… on the Wii. Cue that fancy block quote;
