Broken Sword wants to be in my console
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89mNfITo-DA[/youtube] Point and click adventure games are ancient. But I still love them. So much in fact that I’m strongly considering the purchase of Broken Sword for Wii, even though I beat the Game Boy Advance version in 2002. Released in March, the updated Wii version is getting favorable reviews’both on Metacritic and Amazon’thanks to updated ani...
Goomba named “most pathetic” gaming enemy
The walking mushrooms from Super Mario Bros’otherwise known as goombas’are the sorriest enemy of all time. Or so says the June issue of Game Informer. “The only way goombas could possibly be easier is if they somehow stomped on themselves,” the gaming rag writes. “Displaying no initiative or intelligence, they trod along set patterns just begging to be squished.” And yet, I...

Japan always gets the coolest accessories for gaming, but the DSi controller grip has to be one of the coolest accesories in a while. Not only does the thing give your DSi a controller shape, it also stores an extra stylus, game, and extra SD card. Now if only someone would release it in the states, I could see this thing selling like crazy. Controller grips anyone? [DSi Controller Grip – Ja...

Hands On – Spyborgs [is That a Spy Cyborg?]
This afternoon I managed to hang out with Daryl Allison, who happens to be a senior producer at Capcom. I was contacted by Capcom to meet at a secret location [some hotel] to play some of their upcoming titles that will also be seen at E3, some of which that will probably not be released on the Wii.

ExciteBots-inspired gambling question of the day
What’s the over under, in months, on the amount of time before Nintendo reveals an all-in-one Wiimote w/MotionPlus built in? I’m saying three, and bet the under.

This includes Virtua Tennis and Ghostbusters. I know prices are subject to change, but did I miss a MSRP shift or something? Regardless, it’s a welcome shift if it actually happened (although GameStop continues its prac...
