Silent Hill Shattered Memories

Shattered Memories Initial Impressions
Growing up, I always had a special affinity for Silent Hill… mainly because I saw someone play it when I was a kid and then I had nightmares. And nightmares. And maybe once I thought Pyramid Head was going to kill me. The local police totally forgave me for the one assault [...]

The Forgotten Sands Looks Pretty

Not everything in life is about looks, whatever, whatever. I get that. But when I see a brand spanking new game looking pretty that’s pretty much all I care about. I like the Prince of Persia franchise (and Jake Gyllenhaal) so I’m all aboard the 2010 PoP train. The screenshots of the Forgotten Sands game [...]

The Crystal Bearers Post Christmas Release

Personally, if I was Square Enix, I’d push as hard as I could to release the Crystal Bearers before Christmas. Mothers will buy anything in that pre-Christmas frenzy. But the latest installment of the Final Fantasy franchise for the Wii won’t reach store shelves until Saturday, December 26th.
I guess this could be a good strategy. [...]

Magic Obelisk WiiWare Looks..Ok

I know that being judgmental won’t get me anywhere in life, but neither will being a little fairy that runs around in the shadows like a weak sauce vampire. Oh and did I mention that’s pretty much the story-line for the Magic Obelisk?
Game Arts announced that this WiiWare game will be made available for purchase [...]

Retro Megaman 10 Looks… Retro

I’m not dissing retro games that cover me in a wave of warm fuzzies and nostalgia, but I do admit I expected something a little different from Megaman 10. As for what, I have no idea. I should just be happy that I’ll be able to play Megaman 10 on the Wii. Clicky on the [...]

If you don’t have a Nintendo Wii but adore all things Megaman, have no fear! The new game, Megaman 10, isn’t going to be a Wii-specific game. Just like its predecessor, Megaman 9, it will also be available on the PS3 and Xbox360. This new piece of nerd candy should be release in March of [...]

Zii Trademarked by Nintendo

Recently, Nintendo filed a trademark for the name Zii. This brings up some obvious questions. Are they planning a 2nd generation Wii console and chose the other most awkward letter in the alphabet? Or are they just hoping that a lot of people mistake the Zii for the Wii and want to trademark both just [...]

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands Going Back to Roots

The Prince of Persia games have gone through some transformations since the original story’s conception. I loved the Sands of Time Prince and I thought that the Warrior Within Prince was badass and kind of hot. Rival Swords was fun and finally brought a good game to the Wii console ( I was kind of [...]
