The original Nintendo DS Phat was succeeded by the sleeker and smaller Nintendo DS Lite after about 15 months on the shelf. Given that timeline, we should be due for another design refresh by the end of this year. At least, that’s what analyst Michael Pachter of Wedbush Morgan is leading us to believe. He [...]
Here’s IGN’s video review of Soul Calibur 4: The video review only covers the new aspects of the game, which include the bonus Star Wars characters and first-time cast members. Additional gameplay elements, such as critical finishers, are also mentioned. While it covers the new stuff very well, it lacks a few details. You may [...]
If there’s one puzzle game franchise that seems to have endured it all, it’s Tetris. We got hooked on the arcade version. We got all excited about the portable version on the original puke green Game Boy. We even attempted variants like Tetrisphere and “Push” on Tetris DS. And now we’re ready for the next [...]
In World of Warcraft, raiding provides the ultimate group experience. Raiding occurs when a bunch of people gather and go through an instance or dungeon together to acquire loot. Sure, there’s the lore and exploration, but let’s face it: most of us are only interested in the loot. A good number of instances are for [...]
We all know that the main appeal of a homebrew cart — like the R4 or DS-X — is its ability to play pirated games. The vast majority of people who buy these kinds of solutions are looking for ways to get away with “free” games. We all know that and, obviously, we don’t condone [...]
Here’s the teaser trailer for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Fusion: Note that it’s a teaser, so no actual gameplay footage is seen. All we get are glimpses of Captain America, Wolverine and Daredevil, among others. I have no idea what “fusion” in the title means, but I guess we’ll see a combination of powers between [...]
Now that the Sony PlayStation 3 has been out for some time, it’s good to see that we will be treated to a selection of “classic” PS3 titles at a discounted price. It just doesn’t make sense to drop full retail on a title that is over a year old, right? If that were the [...]
We finally have gameplay previews of the upcoming Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe crossover title. Here’s Sonya versus The Flash. The Flash certainly has some spectacular moves, but I’m hoping for more. The novelty of that on-and-off-screen triple punch is going to wear out pretty quickly, so there should be more moves to his arsenal [...]
I can’t be the only one who thinks this recent trend of transporting casual PC games over to other platforms is a little quirky. These casual games, like Diner Dash, can be developed very quickly, flipping out into the online gaming market for about twenty bucks a pop. Even if the game has been out [...]
Can’t get enough of Puzzle Quest? If the puzzle/RPG hybrid has you seeing colored orbs in your sleep, then you’ll be glad to know that you’re in for more. A new expansion, called Revenge of the Plague Lord, is in the works. Unfortunately, it’s currently scheduled for an Xbox Live Arcade release, so those of [...]
