Ubisoft’s gambit? Red Steel 2 is MotionPlus-only
Back in 2006, while pundits were snickering about the console’s name, publisher Ubisoft threw caution to the wind and devoted substantial development time and marketing to the Wii.

More than just an accessory: Enhanced-definition a must on Wii
Ahead of its time when first introduced on last generation consoles, enhanced-definition is old news now. Yet the majority of Wii owners still haven’t upgraded to the superior picture quality that the technology affords. Here’s why.

Summer Bummer – very few enticing DS games on the way
This started out as a list top ten list, much like our top 10 Wii games of Summer, but I failed to find even enough to make a top 5 for the DS. Sadly summer just isn’t getting much portable gaming love, but the lists for the Fall and Winter will be easy to make! It just seems odd that there isn’t a new triple-A first-party game since Nintendo just introduced a new version of the DS l...
