Remember a long time ago when we posted a huge list of rumored games? All of the games on that list turned out to be 100% spot-on…with the exception of Brutal Legend.
When our friends at 1up presented Tim Schaffer with the discussion of a rumored Wii version of Brutal Legend, his response lead many [...]
The Conduit (Wii) $49.99
Tiger PGA Wii MotionPlus $59.99
The Conduit is still on the list, as is Tiger Woods. Good news for both games, although we pretty much expected Tiger Woods on Wii to do extremely well. Can’t wait to see the numbers for these games!

Is Brawl a great game? I think many people will answer with a ‘yes’, but that will be quickly followed by a ‘but…’. The game isn’t perfect, which is perhaps why a very dedicated group of Brawl fans have actually gone out of their way to tweak the game to their own specifications.

Dragon Quest IX is just around the corner for Japan, but the rest of the gaming world is also keeping tabs on the latest adventure. What do we do while we wait for the latest adventure to hit store shelves? We discuss the classic entires in the franchise, of course!

Now, are we to believe that Hooked Again works with MotionPlus? That little logo says ‘100% compatible MotionPlus design’. I think that may only pertain to the fishing rod accessory itself! Would we really see a peripheral made that allows room for MotionPlus, but doesn’t use the device?! Thanks to Hero [...]
“At the late ’80s, there was only Kaga Tech, an electronics distributor that used ‘Taxan’ as their US/Europe consumer brand. Largely they worked in monitors, and I remember all the Apple IIs in the middle-school lab sporting off-brown Taxan amber-screen jobbies.

EA, the NCAA and CLC (Collegiate Licensing Company) have reviewed the complaint, and do not believe that the [...]
Did you grow up with the cartoon you see above? A lot of people did, including myself. I loved that series, and have a great respect for it to this day. With so many fans familiar with ‘The Real Ghostbusters’ cartoon series, why weren’t these characters used in the Wii version of [...]
