There have been many birthday's and events where the ol' Wii streamed in laughter from middle-aged grown ups while playing Wii Sports. Now well over two years later, the sequel has come to inject new content to the party once again.
It took its time, but this title is now a proper reason for casual gamers to refresh their bowling skills.
Wii Sports, bundled with the Wii console on its release, is considered as one of the most loved titles on the system. So it comes as no surprise as 353,000 Japanese gamers ate up the 4800 yen (around $50) sequel, Wii Sports Resort (bundled with Wii Motion Plus), within four days on sale, a Famitsu report translated by games website, Gamasutra, said.
With this news, we can see the impact the complimentary prequel had on gamers, and a Nintendo mascot is nowhere at sight!
Archery, Frisbee throwing, Basketball, Cycling, Canoeing, Power Crusiing, Table tennis, Bowling (back!), Sword play, Golf and Wakeboarding is highlighted to appear, with a release date, according to Nintendo, slated for July 23rd for $99.95 AUS.
A man clinging to his car door for dear life as I drive off in it was a hilarious sight! Sadistic, but its ok, it’s just a video game. A video game that try’s very hard to be a realistic depiction of how the real world works.
An unfortunate virtual soul’s blood stains the hood of my car during a mission to catch a motorcycle gang member who stole a client’s money and girlfriend. My car’s radio blares faintly as I walked away from the car. Each pedestrian says different phrases to offend me as I push them out of my way. It is these small details that makes being in Liberty City pleasurable.
So I’ve decided to become a resident of Liberty City. Playing missions is fun, but I’m going to actually explore the game and see what surprises this computer-generated world has in store for me day-to-day (in game).
Just outside Niko’s apartment was an ATM I can actually check how much cash I have earned, even when it’s redundant as the cash on hand is constantly shown on the top right of the screen. Next to the ATM was a crazy beggar screaming that it’s the end of the world and how aliens abducted him once in a while. He was amusing, so I hanged around as he continued his hysterical ways for a few more minutes until I got bored and hijacked the car which stopped to watch the old man as well.
What ticked me off is when the game started playing more like Grand Theft Turismo than Grand Theft Auto. Accelerating from the start of a straight road in a normal car is like accelerating up a very steep hill in a truck. The car mechanics are so weak, that your holding on the controller for dear life just so the “Mr A has escaped” captions didn’t pop up and force you to restart the mission from the furthest destination possible.
After passing the mission, I went back to my apartment and passed out until further adventures await….
85% of votes from Eidos share holders came back with Square-Enix's takeover approval.
They needed 75% for the green light to be lit, and now it seems like a re-invigoration into old series owned by Eidos could be a real possibility after all!
According to GamesIndustry, the Square Ediosnix merge will be completed late April.
Disclaimer: The name: Square Ediosnix is not Square Enix changing its name after the merger, I just made it up.
Sony Europe announced the conclusion to the Ratchet and Clank series: A Crack in Time.
What made this platforming series successful was its feature of upgradable weapons with very satisfying bullets (lazers, or robots) of destruction that get better after each upgrade.
This chapter might see the split between Ratchet and Clank for good, as their origins open up in this 7th console installment late this year.
Max Payne 3 is also coming out (hopefully) around December this year!
Retired, will we see a Old-Snake kind of story? Or will we still have the same Noir-style game the movie should have been like? Can't wait to get more news on this one!
When your main character is pilfered of everything he has and chucked out into the gutter, you know you’re playing a Grand Theft Auto game. Chinatown Wars feels like a combination of GTA1 and 2’s style with GTA3 and 4’s controls, which equals into a fun, portable package

Many online reviews complained about RE5's control system not fitting into the gameplay. I beg to differ, but what got me feeling much like most reviewers is how anti-climatic the experience was

Coming back from a Holiday means a lot of missing of friends as Uni is looming like a big, evil, shadow. Two days before the start of College, I was sitting at home and wondered if the week-long holiday at the beach with 11 of my friends was a dream.
There was countless games of Tetris DS and Mario Kart fun, I picked Toad with his standard Kart (for the challenge) and ended up battling for last place against Yoshis with supped up Karts. As you expect, Mario Kart is heaps of fun and, at times, unfair. There is something concerning when your coming first in a race and suddenly get hit by a blue shell, followed by two red shells, with each impact finally knocking your Kart off the race course for another five seconds of agonising waiting

It was a big mistake, I didn't pre-order my copy of Street Fighter 4 because I had a gamer feeling I won't have to go through the trouble of calling up and saying "one please" to my game trader

What to do when its raining at a beach house with more than 11 friends? Why, play a tournament of Tetris DS of course!

Gamer Verdict
I wouldn't be surprised if you get to play a existing survivor in Rapture that hasn't gone crazy this time. It would be a good concept to flesh out the intriguing backstory to the first game.
