Nintendo showed off their next 12 months of games at E3, and the media descended upon the titles like a pack of wild dogs. That’s all well and good for North America, but what about our European friends? Lucky for them, Nintendo also had a showing over in Europe, and now the press across the [...]

When you go into GameStop to pick up a game, you just know that the employees are going to ask you something about used games. Do you want to trade in…do you want to purchase a used copy instead…it’s how they run their business. The good news is, a small part of that [...]

We do not condone this act in any way, shape or form. Performing an act like this could cause severe damage, and may result in a trip to the hospital. This is for professionals only. I will not even post the images on the front page, as they are too graphic. [...]

I know you are going to pick up Scribblenauts just to try and screw the game up. You want to find out what words aren’t in there, and then mock the developers for not including your word. Some of you will stump the game with words that aren’t allow, and others will stump [...]

Let me clear this up. I am very, very excited for Super Mario Galaxy 2. With that said, the music in the trailer absolutely killed the footage for me. I had a smile on my face while watching, but in the back of my mind, all I could think about was the [...]

I’m not too sure I understand this list. It may only pertain to Xbox Live Arcade, but then again, it may not. There are titles on this list that happen to be out already. For example, ToeJam and Earl gets a nod. This game has been available on the Virtual Console [...]

A pair of reviews from 1up… Ghostbusters Wii Mega Man

“(our past support) shows how much potential there is, for microtransactions — or any online payment model — if it’s unlocked on the right platform, in the right territory.” - EA COO John Pleasants I fear that the next generation of consoles is going to have an even bigger focus on digital content. Will someone [...]

“(Producer) Roland Joffe wanted me to direct the ‘Super Mario Bros.’ movie. I took the meeting because I loved the game. I’m glad I said no.” - Harold Ramis I think that was a pretty wise choice. The funny thing is, almost everyone involved in that movie went on to have some pretty [...]

“Tecmo had the philosophy that the user would throw a game away if it wasn’t hard enough. So we made games really hard. Nowadays, a lot more people play games, so we ramp up the difficulty much more gradually. We want everybody to be able to play it and get good at it.” - [...]

Remember when we heard that doctors were using the Wii to train, all in the hopes of making the more accurate? The results came in, and they were extremely positive. Now the test is being done once again, the results are the same! Eight trainees were asked to play the Wii for an hour [...]

A portion of a 1UP review: How does Ghostbusters fare in the transition from film franchise to a modern day, third-person shooter?
