EA Tiger Woods 10 with Wii MotionPlus: Here’s my money, take it
Joystiq has some demo footage of an EA rep going through the motions in the upcoming Tiger Woods PGA Tour golf title for the Wii. Stress motions. Joystiq came away impressed.

Excitebots launch trailer looks like Excite Truck
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y69T5KY3I1k[/youtube] Some of these insect robots remind me of the ones Tom Hanks made fun of while working at MacMillan Toy Company in the movie Big. But as long as the gameplay is on par with Excite Truck, I’m fine with it. And 6-person online multiplayer should be a hoot.

Does the hard-core gamer still matter?
Out of the top 20 selling games of 2008, less than half of them fit the profile of what type of game this MSNBC article considers appealing to the hard-core or serious gamer. So I think the question shouldn’t be “can the Wii win back the hard-core gamer,” but rather “does the hard-core gamer still matter?” The article goes on to say that Nintendo’s original &#...
