HMV hasn’t had a very good year. They’ve seen their overall profits drop by 50%, but there is a silver lining. When it comes to their games and technology sales, profits rose from £37.3 million ($61.37 million) in 2008 to 44.2 million ($72.71 million) this year. Looks like HMV might want to [...]

A portion of a No Added Sugar review… Like the original, Wii Sports Resort is a wonderful fusion of hardware and software. Largely thanks to the terrific control enhancements enabled by MotionPlus, this time around the core gameplay has the depth to sustain your attention for much longer. Full review here

I think all of them are big enough to kick my ass. I hope I get the chance to enjoy that with Monster Hunter 3! Link

Why bother to take the time learning how to play games when you can just pretend to be good? That’s always the way to accomplish things you want in life. Just fool others into thinking that you know what you’re doing, and things are sure to go well from there on out! How to [...]

A portion of a Nintendo Life review… Aside from the logical fallacy (if they’re a fan of the original board game, then they probably already own a copy and are inquiring about this particular adaption!), it’s actually probably cheaper to buy Silver Star Reversi rather than a decent copy of the board game. Both offer the [...]

Were you planning on attending the ScrewAttack Game Convention in order to see the Jack Thompson debate? Well, I hope you can get a ticket refund. As of right now, Mr. Thompson isn’t going to attend the show. Of course, Thompson has all sorts of crazy reasons why he has pulled out from the [...]

I’ll tell you, the strangest articles pop up when a big celebrity passes on. With Michael Jackson no longer with us, I’ve seen all kinds of out-there articles, news reports and features. This one might very well take the cake. These are two people I would never have tied together otherwise. [...]

Games catch a lot of flak over the amount of violence that some titles feature. I honestly don’t think of it as a big deal. As long as the appropriately aged audience is playing the titles, then all should be just fine. The same goes for books, music, movies and television shows. [...]

A portion of a GamePro review… …what has given me a sense of resentment is the lack of a truly engaging Harry Potter game, and unfortunately, The Half-Blood Prince for the Nintendo Wii didn’t do much to change that opinion. Full review here

Let’s take a look at what the Wii’s biggest games have managed to move in their first 4 days, shall we? - Super Smash Bros. Brawl: 816,000 - Mario Kart Wii: 608,000 - Wii Sports Resort: 353,827 I think Wii Sports Resort is going to have a very long life ahead of it. I expect the same to [...]

Square-Enix loves to squeeze every penny they can out of Wii owners. FFCC: My Life as a Dark Lord just hit Japan, and there are microtransactions out the butt. - purchasable Shock Whip, magic spells, monsters, artifacts, and dresses - total cost of all DLC currently available = 1,200 Nintendo Points ($12) - all items listed above [...]

“House of the Dead: Overkill was a profitable title for us. Whilst it had a rather sharp tail at full price, they do bubble away at a lower price point for a long time. You get your money back and a bit on full price, but over the years, if we do the final [...]

The vast majority of used games are not traded in until the original new game purchaser has finished playing - more than two months after a new game is released - typically well beyond the window for a full retail priced new game sale. If trade-ins occur at GameStop, they should position the trade-in customer to [...]

I don’t speak French, but it surely looks/sounds like they’re discussing Trackmania on Wii! Trackmania Wii - Premiers pas - Wii sur jeuxvideo.com Direct link here (thanks Oustshakur!)

“While we expect price cuts from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo before the holiday, the ultimate timing and magnitude remain uncertain.” - Janco Partners analyst Mike Hickey Am I crazy for thinking that Nintendo isn’t going to drop their price this holiday season?
