- “The problems of the future… today!” Behold, as Press The Buttons imparts knowledge for the gaming journalists… of tomorrow!
- GameTrailers masters Wario’s newest adventure with two brand-new Wario: Master of Disguise videos.
If Wario would just beat up an artist or an astronaut for these powers, it’d be sort of like Nintendo’s evil answer to Mega Man.
- He’s back! Phoenix Wright returns to protect the innocent and expose the guilty, and GameSpot is here to tell us how well he fares.
The first game received an 8.8, while the sequel has a 7.7. One should bear in mind that part of this is no doubt a reflection of the fact that the first game had an extra case added for the DS release, which included numerous uses of the system’s features, but no such addition was made to this game.
Despite not having played it yet, I’d say that if one was a fan of the first game, this one is probably a safe bet, as long as the above is kept in mind. After all, unlike Japan, we didn’t get these games on our Game Boy Advance, so that is a plus for us here.
Doesn’t mean we can’t whine like whipped puppies to Capcom about the cutbacks here, however.
- If the Wii remote makes your Wii Sports seem like it has a little too much virtual, and not enougb reality, then the Japanese company Miyavix may just have the answers you seek.
- Via Evil Avatar, Voodoo Extreme has a piece up asking what PC games that deserve sequels you’d like to see.
Of course, as anyone who checks regularly may have figured out, I’m not much of a PC gamer.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t have our own bit of fun with this. After all, how many deserving console/portable games have deserved sequels, but never gotten them? What do you want to see?
- I’m still holding out for a hat with a fake sticking out of it.
- Remember, folks: Friends don’t let friends Wii and drive.
- Slashdot reports that we have the technology to leave dead bodies as far as the eye can see.
- Game|Life’s Chris Kohler asks the question I’m fortunate enough not to have to: “Why the Hell Do I Keep Buying These Shooters?”
- Great music video… or greatest music video?
This is why Time named us “Person of the Year,” folks. Think about it.
- Sometimes, being an internet celebrity isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
But hey, free DS Lite!
This one’s probably NSFW, too.
And remember… safety is sexy.
- Hey, look everyone! It’s FABIO!
And he’s giving advice!
- Some people like to say that the whole of Super Mario Bros. is just the acid trip of some plumber leading a mundane life in Brooklyn.
To which I say, “no, this is the acid trip.”
I think this is new footage, if anyone cares for long enough to see.
