Gamespot has a review of the controversial Manhunt 2. Their verdict: It may not have the same primal impact as the original Manhunt, but the sequel features plenty of tense stealth gameplay to complement its violent subject matter. The clarity of that violence–and some Wii-specific annoyances–makes the PlayStation 2 version the superior one. But either [...]
It’s not surprising that Guitar Hero III is the hottest release of the week. It’s not surprising that everyone is clamoring over one another to get themselves a copy of the latest addition to the rhythm game franchise. I know that my favorite Future Shop location is completely sold out and many other retailers are [...]
Kotaku has a review of The Witcher, an RPG appearing on the PC. It’s a rare title for two reasons: first, it’s not multi-platform (yet) and second, it’s not an MMOG. With that said, The Witcher is a solid RPG title that’s marred by very long load times (you can read the full review via [...]
Just about every video game console on the market today has been hit with piracy and hit hard. We turn to the Xbox 360 and see people dangling external hard drives from beyond the red ring of death. We look to the Wii to discover a myriad of mod chips. The portable world isn’t immune [...]

Capcom has announced that they will be making a “full-length CG animation feature” based on the Resident Evil property. The new film is set to be called Biohazard: Degeneration, and Capcom is going to be working with Sony [...]
And I’m not talking about a Johnny Depp, Pirates of the Caribbean kind of pirate. You see, Super Mario Galaxy for the Nintendo Wii has reportedly been leaked on the Internet, but there were naysayers who said it just couldn’t be so. Well, not only is it so, but the guy above has managed to [...]
With just two months left after this one, 2007 is closing. What other titles can we look forward to? MEGATONik has a list. Assassin’s Creed and Contra 4 are things you already know about. What about Crysis? Similar to Far Cry, Crysis will be an open-ended game, with many ways to complete objectives. The “Nano [...]
A cooking game is already pretty unconventional. I thought that Cooking Mama for the Nintendo DS was interesting, only because of its quirky Japanese cutesy-wootsy anime styling. It looks like Mama might have to move over a couple steps, because the foul-mouthed Gordon Ramsay is about to invade the world of video games. Apparently, there [...]
I don’t watch a lot of gaming-related shows, whether it’s on TV or on the Web, but I’ve seen enough to know that reviewers usually don’t dress up for the occasion. With that said, here’s a video review of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. The stylus controls fit the somewhat whimsical setting pretty well, [...]
Shake shake shake. Shake shake shake. Shake your booty! Shake your booty! Samba de Amigo was one of the coolest rhythm games of its era. I remember when I first walked into an arcade to discover the pair of maracas placed in front of a huge screen. And then I saw the ridiculous monkey with [...]
