An easy guide for easy stuff: Wii for Dummies

So you know how, to us, the Wii seems like the simplest console ever made? Well, to some people, it isn’t (probably because they haven’t been handling controllers of all shapes and sizes for the last 20 years). Case in point, I had my mom visiting a few months ago, and I showed to her […]

Jet pack shenanigans prevail in these Dark Void videos
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 |
Leave a Comment
I’ll admit I was skeptical when Dark Void was first announced. It looked like a very bland, generic "dark & gritty omg" style game. In many ways, it still resembles your typical current-gen shooting game. It’s lacking in bright colors, and we’re seeing the cover system that’s become a staple since Gears of War. However, […]

Blizzard releases a sexy Wrath of the Lich King cinematic
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 |

It may not show any gameplay whatsoever, but that doesn’t keep Blizzard’s latest Wrath of the Lich King cinematic trailer from being any less awesome. The video shows paladin-turned-Lich-King Arthas wandering around his realm of Northrend with his dead father’s voice providing narration. After some contemplation on a snowy cliff, Artas summons a giant bone […]

Confirmed: Weird golden dragonfly sidekick thing in latest Spyro game
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 |

Even though I had a PlayStation when I was younger, I still managed to completely miss out on every game involving Spyro the Dragon. I remember thinking that the commercials looked pretty interesting, but I was just way to busy playing RPGs to give them a try. While I may be about ten years late […]

Spider-Man is the only one who understands what’s happening in this WoS trailer
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 |

I have to say, when I first caught wind of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows I was unexpectedly surprised by how interesting the game’s combat looked. Not content with simply throwing a few punch-punch-punch-ranged web attack combos, the Spider-Man in this game was shown moving from ground, to building, to aerial combat with extreme fluidity and […]

RetroforceGO! records episode 57 tonight: The Atari 2600

Sorry we missed you last week, kids, but we’re back again tonight, and ready to talk shop about the Atari 2600. Why did Pac-Man’s in-game music sound like a busy signal on an old telephone? Did they really bury all those E.T. cartridges out in the Arizona desert?
We’ll try to answer some of these questions, […]

CONFIRMED: Tiger Woods = Jesus, EA advertisers = geniuses
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 |
Leave a Comment
I’m a huge Tiger Woods fan. The man completely revitalized the sport of golf at a time when it desperately needed an infusion of youth, color (literally and figuratively), and energy. Not only that, he’s one of the best golfers in the history of the sport, with such incredible performances as his playoff win in […]

Peter Moore: Better ways to fight piracy than lawsuits
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 |
Leave a Comment
Electronic Arts executive Peter Moore has been talking piracy following the news that a coalition of game studios were pursuing cases against thousands of British software pirates. Rather than support his fellow industry members, however, Moore has voiced criticism over what he calls "punishing your consumer."
The former Microsoft man had this to say:
[Suing consumers] didn’t work […]

Darksiders: Wrath of War screens are full of wrath. Also, war
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 |
Leave a Comment
A few people have been saying that Darksiders: Wrath of War isn’t looking too hot lately. I have decided to completely ignore these people and continue to convince myself that it will be the greatest game ever made and the discs will be packed with glowing butterflies that flutter from the case when opened and […]

Tales of Hearts gets two versions: CGI and anime
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 |
Leave a Comment
File this one under "Awesome Things that Japan Gets that We Won’t": Namco Bandai’s Tales of Hearts will get two separate releases, one featuring fully-rendered CGI cut scenes, the other with slick, 2D anime scenes. I’d be willing to bet that all of this could have fit on one card — Mistwalker crammed all sorts […]
