In addition to some other really good announcements, it was nice to see Kirby making an appearance at this year’s E3. A new Kirby game for the Wii will be making it’s way here soon. The world in Kirby’s Epic Yarn looks as if it’s stitched together from scraps of fabric, while Kirby himself appears to be made of a curled-up strip of pink yarn. And there are gameplay connotations Read More ...
At Nintendo’s E3 press conference, they had many game announcements. One of which was surprisingly good: The Legend of Zelda: The Skyward Sword. There are some new features that take advantage of the WiiMotion Plus technology, making the game extremely accurate. Check out this E3 gameplay trailer below!
During Microsoft’s press conference during E3, they announced that the complete library of Zune music is joining the video options already available on the Xbox 360. Details are light now but otherwise, you can assure that it’s Kinect (and Bieber–Oh God…) compatible. It’s gonna be nice (providing you have Zune) to have your entire music library right there on your Xbox. Microsoft revealed a few more details, confirming that Zune Read More ...
It didn’t get a slot during Microsoft’s now-concluded press conference, but we’ll talk about it here. Remember when Netflix first came to the Xbox 360, and you could ONLY access your instant queue? Then later, they updated it to allow new releases and various genres to show in the Netflix app. Well, the Netflix streaming app will finally add one of the most often requested (and denied) features: the ability Read More ...
What was always known as Microsoft’s “Project Natal” is now known as Kinect, and has been dated for launch on November 4, this year. Microsoft confirmed it today, and it looked very innovative during the live demo during the MS press conference. It will drop with 15 titles for you to look forward to, which include: -Kinectimals: Nintendogs in the wild. -Kinect Sports: Like Wii Sports, but better. Soccer, bowling, Read More ...
I sort of always doubted a new Xbox–the fact that they’d re-release it, the fact that they would change it again, pretty much everything about it. Quite frankly, I am pretty impressed with the new consoles. I was shocked to see that they are keeping the price to a lovely $299, which was the price of an old Elite. Note the “was”: The old elite will stick around for $250, Read More ...
Those Nike Pro Combat threads in the new NCAA Football 11 demo aren’t just for looks. They are in the full version as well. Downloading the demo gives you access to the alternate uniforms in the main game. Playing each of the four matchups—Florida @ Florida State, Oklahoma @ Texas, Ohio State @ Miami, and Clemson @ Missouri—will unlock those packages in the full release for you. But there’s more—by Read More ...
The platform war is officially on, between Mac and PC. But not in terms of Apple versus Microsoft, more like what you game on. Earlier today, Team Fortress 2 for Mac was released. Finally, you can have all five games of The Orange Box on your Mac now. Also, I might add… As a perk for this glorious day of reckoning… For this weekend only, Team Fortress 2 is free Read More ...
LEGO has made a short animated film to coincide with the release of the film, Prince of Persia. They recreated the basic plot of the movie using mini-figs, and Jake Gylenhaal narrates it. Mainly, the video serves as a promotion for the LEGO toys that are based on the movie. Quite frankly, this almost looks like a game trailer. With the movie being surprisingly good, I wonder if we’ll be Read More ...
I know, I couldn’t believe it either. Steam. For Mac. It’s really here. And in an open beta form (if not final, not too sure on that yet…), so everyone can take a whack at it. Not to mention they’re topping off the sundae with a big, red, sweet cherry—free download of Portal for Mac AND PC. Actually, I’d call that like 3 cherries, sprinkles, and whipped cream. All desserts Read More ...
Sony may be ready to make a bit of money from it’s PlayStation Network, with rumors that they will introduce a “premium” option to their service similar to that of Microsoft’s Xbox Live service. According to VG247, a part of Sony’s E3 presentation will focus on a paid version of PSN. Premium subscribers are said to get access to a free PSN game per month, and a streaming music service, Read More ...
Last week there was a gigantic compilation alpha test info and screen caps of World of Warcraft’s latest expansion, Cataclysm, released by MMO Champion. It is gone now, but certainly not forgotten. Let’s just take into consideration how much work MMO Champion put into the collecting, hosting, and posting of images from the alpha build of WoW’s next expansion, giving fans a peek into the future of the game they Read More ...
Microsoft revealed that a free token towards the first DLC for Alan Wake will be packaged in every copy of the new game… Which should offset the price of the official Alan Wake flashlight. Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake is almost here, and Microsoft is making a big push to make sure that everyone is aware of its coming, going as far as to commission an episodic live-action TV series… Whoa. Read More ...
Raven Software’s sci-fi shooter Singularity will get some help from last year’s open-world action adventure game, Prototype. Activision is giving away Prototype if you buy a copy of Singularity for Xbox 360. Not sure if that is a good sign for Singularity’s chances for success; that’s up to you. Personally, I know Prototype did pretty damn well during its initial release, going (somewhat) head to head with InFamous. Activision reps Read More ...
Geeksoap, a novelty soap maker, has a new line of bars, which resemble NES, Super Nintendo, and Game Boy cartridges. Unfortunately, they can’t market them as that because of trademark reasons. The NES and Super Nintendo soap are $6.50 and weigh about eight and nine ounces, respectively. The Game Boy cartridge is $2 and weighs 1.5 ounces; it’s about the size of a travel-size bar of soap. Then again, I Read More ...
