Yesterday news broke about the famous Ace Attorney series coming to WiiWare, but with scant few details. As it turns out, I was attending an event hosted by Capcom last night, but it was supposed to be for Monster Hunter Tri. That was still the case, but Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney also showed up by [...]

More intense kart-action comes barreling into your living room.

Finally, a full game at DSiWare's two dollar price point.

See how the violence that fuels Kratos has evolved throughout the trilogy.

Acquire has teamed up with the Playstation C.A.M.P. project once again to produce another quirky and unique PSP game idea -- the last collaboration produced Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do to Deserve This? In the new game, One Million Ton Barabara ("bara bara" being a Japanese word describing something breaking up or scattering), you play the leader of a town's protection force, charged with destroying the giant airships that loom over your city Independence Day-style. To do this, you and your squad grab onto the ship and tear pieces off. When enough of the ship lies in ruins on the ground, you've completed the level. It's kind of like tower defense meets Qix, or something. Last week, Sony launched a teaser site which provides a look at the game's aesthetic. One Million Ton Barabara will be out in February in Japan. [Image via Wii Everyday]

Go beyond the horizon with the musicians behind the soundtrack.

Two more games rated for Australia. One that we knew was coming, and another that is a mystery. Just what on earth is this Sonic Classic Collection? Whatever it is, let’s hope it turns out better than Sonic did on on the GBA.

It’s obvious, Wii owners can’t get enough of motion controllers. I think that’s the one reason Tony Hawk: RIDE is doing so well on the platform!

Do Kratos' first adventures hold up in HD?

Want to pay more than you should for video games? Well GameFly is there for you! GameFly is now offering sale of brand-new games, but you’ll have to pay a bit for shipping. Buy a copy of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, pay $58 for it, thanks to shipping and taxes.

GameFly, the online game rental service .... wait, that's hardly accurate anymore, let's start over: GameFly, the media company and rental service entity, is now selling new games on its website, including large items like DJ Hero and Tony Hawk Ride. Those expecting to discover the amazing discounts normally found with the service's used games will be disappointed to note that all the new games are full retail price and include shipping costs and applicable taxes. Example for Massachusetts: A new copy of New Super Marios Bros Wii: $50 for the game + $3 tax + $5 for standard shipping = $58 The "keep it" price for a member whose been with the service over a year: $39 + $3 tax + no shipping cost = $42 (members also receive a $5 coupon every quarter, which would make it $37) Clearly the "new" store isn't a revelation in retail, but perhaps it'll make more sense later on. GameFly still has some of the best deals in used games we've seen. [Thanks, Chris S.]

The team that's bringing you the Mushroom Wars demo is also preparing a Smash Cars demo for tomorrow. Thankfully, the trial RC racer will be available in both Europe and North American when the PlayStation Store updates. "Just one action-packed lap around the track with real-time physics, innovative stunts and next-generation graphics will be sure to capture gamers' attention," said Vladimir Starzhevsky, co-founder and CEO of Creat Studios, Inc., in a press release. Hopefully, the demo will include more than just one lap. Gallery: Smash Cars

More repetitive and formulaic than the anime's plot.

Prepare to remake the course of history.

Redefining the World War II strategy experience.

Barring any major secrets that gamers have somehow missed out on, we know that Princess Peach is not a playable character in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Miyamoto gave some lame answer concerning dress physics as to why the princess doesn’t make a playable appearance. I call 100% bull on that, because this [...]
