James McCloud…a father you don’t often hear about. Maybe that has something to do with Nintendo neglecting the StarFox franchise as of lately. I feel like Command came out 10 years ago, even though it really wasn’t that long at all. Doesn’t matter to me though…I’m greedy. StarFox Wii now…PLEASE!

A portion of a PALGN review…
Run, jump and dodge - these are the simple commodities in which Klonoa trades. Lush visuals and solid mechanics make this an excellent remake which stands testament to the power of the 2D plane.

The writer of Taxi Driver says that movies are starting to feel old, and that video games may be just one of the ways we can enjoy audio/visual entertainment in the future.
Movies were the artform of the 20th century. The traditional concept of movies, a projected image in a dark room of viewers, feels increasingly [...]
This is the Goro figurine that was shot for the original Mortal Kombat. We know this, because Ed Boon tells us himself! A little piece of history that I’m sure many would love to own. I don’t think Boon’s giving this one up.

A portion of a Nation of Videogames interview with Hugo Smits, creator of Flipper…
NoV: Can you explain the basic gameplay of Flipper?
HS: Basically you need to get from the start point to your goldfish. You will need to change the world to get there. You can blow stuff up, restore it or build new platforms. [...]

There are some definite kinks to iron out but Grand Slam Tennis is an overall solid debut in a franchise with a lot of potential and is sure to satisfy those looking for a casual game of tennis.

A portion of a C3 review…
Challenge Me: Maths Workout is a rare beast in that it seeks to appeal to all, yet does nothing but alienate all of its potential audience.

This is going to be a very, very entertaining episode of Penn and Teller’s Bullsh*t. The trailer below shows off the upcoming new season, with the subject of video game violence being hit upon on July 9th.
You can check out the trailer for the season below, including the Jack Thompson appearance. Just make [...]
It may be time for the President and his family to put their Wii to good use and fire up the 30-Day Challenge with EA SPORTS Active. This is a “game” even the President may not want to “step away” from… In fact, I know [Obama is] in pretty good shape, but I [...]

Mega Man shaking Mega Man’s hand…thats quite strange. Looks like a series crossover is in the works for the DS, with more information due to come out in the September issue of Coro Coro.
I don’t know about you, but I was really hoping to see a new ZX title…

Let me lay out the scheme for you. You go to a retailer, purchase a game, then return the game without the actual DVD. Of course, you take that DVD and sell it online for some sweet cash. The perfect crime, right? Not really…and it’s extra bad if you happen to [...]
“There is a difference between a game and solitaire. A game really requires two people and most of the experiences, like the original Mario, those are obstacle courses. It’s not really a game. It’s only a game if two of you are doing the same thing and you’re competing to get across the obstacle [...]
We have no way of knowing what HAL Laboratory is up to. All we can do is look at their website and virtually thumb through what they’ve posted. That’s exactly what reader Shiine did, and he found some interesting stuff.
If you visit their official Japanese site and click on the ‘idea cube’, you [...]
This is the EA title that we are yet to see any real footage of. EA is playing this one close to their chest. Sure looks like they’re trying to make a hit out of it in Japan.

Go ahead, listen to the first one and try not to get goosebumps. If you played Professor Layton, this music should really resonate with you. Dear lord, I hope somehow this movie makes it to the states.

How difficult do you like your games? Do you want to breeze through them without a single life lost, or do you enjoy getting your ass handed to you? I do enjoy a nice amount of challenge in my games, as there’s nothing better than pulling off a boss fight that you’ve been [...]
