BBPS is reporting that the team behind Guitar Hero III is having second thoughts about taking the musical odyssey online with the Nintendo Wii. Back in April when he heard of the Wii-tastic version of the Guitar Hero franchise, the developers said that not only would Wii owners be able to download new content, but [...]
Saying that Disgaea is a turn-based strategy RPG would be an injustice. Yes, as a game, that’s exactly how it’s played, but it is so much more. I’ve already written about it before, but it looks like we’ll be getting a PSP version instead. One of Disgaea’s addicting gameplay elements was the powerleveling. Like any [...]
To me, one of the best turn-based strategy games that I have ever played was Worms: Armageddon. There was just something utterly fantastic about controlling a single invertebrate at a time, sending exploding sheep and shouting hadouken at my pink, squishy opponents. And soon, I will be able to enjoy the explosive action on the [...]
It has to be said. Halo 3 is done. Finished. The highly-anticipated shooter will be in the hands of gamers on September 26. I hope you have a cooling solution ready for your Xbox 360. In other news, the Legend of Kage is coming to the DS. I have fond memories of the game back [...]

No, Sony and Microsoft aren’t exactly BFFs and I don’t anticipate that they’ll ever be. At the same time, if you asked me about Nintendo and Sega a couple decades ago, I would have laughed at you too. As we wait for the emergence of MicroSony, we’ll just have to satisfy our merging needs with [...]
Rock Band made its presence felt in the Penny Arcade Expo in Washington recently. Aside from playing as a band, you can apparently engage in a little competition as well. Of course, you’ll need another drum kit to do that, so tell your friends to get their own copies of the game too. And yes, [...]
Can this really be the case? At the Leipzig Games Convention which was held over the weekend, they went around and handed out a series of “best of” awards. There are some great games coming up for the Nintendo Wii and everyone was fully expecting that Super Mario Galaxy would easily walk home with the [...]
CVG has a very extensive article on the upcoming Fallout 3, specifically how the introduction moves forward. Here are excerpts, focusing on how the initial combat plays out: The simple way is to aim the hollower end of your weapon towards an oncoming foe and click your old friend the left-mouse button, but thankfully it [...]
