CVG reports on some anonymously provided details regarding a possible Wii exclusive.

The game is code named Epic Mickey and it's being worked on by the guy who brought us Deus Ex, Warren Spector at his Junction Point studio.

As it's a Wii exclusive, it'll be using the Wii-mote in it's own special way. Sketchy details have surfaced that you'll be "painting your way" through the levels. Either drawing, etching or erasing whole parts as you go. Similar to Capcom's Okami, but probably less Zelda like and more Mario like.

What about the story?

Well for old-skool Disney fans, this will tickle your fancy. It supposedly involves "old Disney characters" who're envious of Mickey's consistent fame and fortune over the last 70 odd years, when they too were once popular.

Does Osward the Lucky Rabbit come to mind?
Well he should, look at the second picture.. that's his face right there drawn on the space craft.

Needless to say, this is all very exciting and if Mr Spector is going to continue on this surreal path, he may just have a similar emotional response from fans as Square-Enix does with the Kingdom Hearts franchise.

Watch this space for more and check out the pics below.

Beyond Good and Evil 2

Must see vid.

Massive fan of the original. Was a cult hit among the hardcores.

This time, none of you should miss out on this masterpiece in the making. The sequel to Michel Ancel's thought provoking and imaginative Beyond Good and Evil is coming.

When?

Nobody knows.

Must see vid.

PSP2 is coming.

February 27th 2009 01:56
No, this isn't the PSP2 (just a fan mock up). The real thing stands to be much thinner, with no UMD drive.


Yes, this rumour has been on-going for about two years (at least) now. However, evidence is slowly beginning to build that it might finally be true

You're so beautiful. On the outside.

Red Steel. In the beginning, most pretended to have liked the game, but I think by now we can safely assume most gamers didn't.

I'm not sure how i feel about the lack of sword.

It sounds amazing -- but i personally don't like playing with anything but a PS3 controller. If they can somehow implement that into their system, i'm sold, once it goes mainstream.

Let them sell! They're not making that much money and i don't want them to either 1) charge for the service or 2) or under.

on Nintendo Wii Isn't Meeting Its Potential

February 4th 2009 09:03
I agree, it's not meeting its potential at all. But Nintendo's making too much money to care.

I can't wait for this. I hated the ending, but this expansion will rectify that. As long as it's not over $25 that is.

on I heart LBP

January 12th 2009 00:57
I have to agree. I've had LBP since mid-nov and did not care for it until about last week when i sat and played it with my cousin. It was brilliant! The Co-op gameplay is simply awesome.

If only things were that simple.

I think the popularity of Blu-ray will grow as soon as the discs themselves become more affordable.

on Don't trust this company

Mate you need to send that whole post to the correct authorities in your area with some more evidence. Also post it up on whirlpool.net , they have plenty of experts that can help there.

Sounds like a disgusting company, thanks for the warning.
