Samurai Warriors 3 heading to Australia
Another part of the world locked down. I know there are a bunch of Samurai Warriors fans out there, and now those living down under can rest a little easier. I think I’ll check out this title when it lands in the states. Who else is interested?

Sonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing - review
A portion of a Guardian review… The often amusing All-Star moves give backmarkers the chance to catch up – thankfully blue shell equivalents are absent here – while an enthusiastic commentator’s interjections are informative rather than irritating...
Inazuma Eleven 3 - screw the bus, it’s time for a jet!
Inazuma Eleven 3 is in the works, and it takes the soccer games to a world stage. How is the team going to get to Inazuma Island when all they have is a crappy bus? No worries, Level-5 has thought of everything! The team is getting a major transportati...

Looking back: Mario Bros. for the Atari 2600
Man, it’s so weird to see a Nintendo game appear on a platform that Nintendo didn’t make. You can’t even imagine something like this happening in today’s day and age, but back before Nintendo made the NES, they had no problem with the Mario Bros....

Club Nintendo pooling Hotel Dusk testimonials
I don’t have a Club Nintendo account, so forgive me for being ignorant. I’m not sure if all games that are on Club Nintendo give you the opportunity to leave a ‘testimonial’ about the product. If this is a rare occurrence, one would believe that...

Box Art Disparity: Super Nintendo/Famicom and European Borders
Another very interesting look at the different types of boxarts that Japan/Europe/NA got for the same games. In the case of Flashback, you can see that North America clearly lost. Oddly enough, this seems to be a random occurrence. Usually Japan ends u...

Prison Break trailer reveals innovative 'constant hanging' gameplay
We knew a few details about the plot of Deep Silver's video game adaptation of Prison Break, but we weren't aware that the game's protagonist, Company agent Tom Paxton, was actually a chimpanzee in people-clothes. At least, that's what we're assuming fr...

Make sure to check out Hollywood Video for great used game deals
We talked about a bunch of Game Crazy stores closing, all because of the parent company mess. These closures are also hitting Hollywood Video, and they too are selling off their games. You can find some great deals, such as games $9.99-$24.99 plus 30% o...

Swag Sunday: The DICE bag o' swag
Believe us, dear reader -- there's nothing we'd like more than to have brought you with us to Las Vegas for this year's DICE, but you must understand that the airfare was simply too much to bear. We've got the next best thing though (outside of our weekl...

BlizzCon attendees getting StarCraft 2 beta invites 'possibly within the next two weeks'
Apparently, not everyone who received one of those fancy voucher codes from BlizzCon 2008 was accepted into the first wave of invites for StarCraft 2. A Blizzard representative explained on the Battle.net forums that "due to the sheer number of BlizzCon ...

Sonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing - racing techniques
These come right from the guys at Sumo Digital… Feathering the gas (that is varying the amount you are applying) during drifts will actually give you more control. As with all racing games, you want to be aiming to drift as close to the inside of corner...
No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle glitch puts Shinobu in Travis’ living room…naked…showering
I don’t know how you make this glitch happen. I honestly have no idea how people figure this stuff out. This doesn’t seem like a glitch that you can just stumble upon. Thankfully, the person that created the glitch caught it on video. Obviously, t...

An online collection of ‘Video Adventures’
Way back in 1985, the Milwaukee Journal featured an reoccurring article called ‘Video Adventures’. This one-man feature chronicled the world of video games from 1985 to 1991, back in a time when hardly any newspapers or magazines featured gaming news...

Nintendo Power’s most recent plant?
A reader letter sent into Nintendo Power discussing Mario and Sonic… Now, you have to ask yourself, is this letter real? There’s no way we’ll ever find out, unless one of the NP staff comes up with the original letter, as well as a name and addy. ...

Retrospective: Trace Memory
Uh-oh, very sore subject for me. Trace Memory is one of my favorite DS games. It may not be the most amazing as far as gameplay goes, but I love the story and artwork, as well as the way the story was told. That’s why it pains me to say that the [...]

ESRB rates 'Tecmo Bowl Throwback' for PSN and XBLA
It seems that, once again, our anonymous tipster was right on the money. The ESRB recently rated Tecmo Bowl Throwback for the PSN and XBLA platforms, describing it as a "top-down arcade-style football game in which players compete against teams around th...

Monster Hunter 3 site set to update on February 24th
Capcom has said that Nintendo was going to help give Monster Hunter 3 a big push in Europe, but we never heard anything about the North American side. Will NoA reach out and give a hand to Capcom for the Monster Hunter 3 launch in our neck of the woods? ...

What if Final Fantasy VII came out 10 years earlier (and had questionable artwork)
One of gaming's favorite pastimes: "What if" scenarios involving Final Fantasy VII. What if they actually made a next-gen version that looked like Advent Children? What if Square hadn't defected to the PlayStation? What if Aeris didn't have to die and in...

Why 8-bit will never die (and why that’s awesome)
No matter how far the video game industry gets from the original days of 8-bit gaming, we will never leave it behind. Not only are there gameplay ideas from the 8-bit days that will last forever, there are also design choices and visual elements that weâ...
