Infendo previews the beautiful, constantly surprising Sin & Punishment: Star Successor
At the 2010 Nintendo Media Summit, there was nothing on display ”“Â not even the behind-closed-doors demonstration of Metroid: Other M ”“Â that looked quite as good as Sin & Punishment: Star Successor. Every other game I sampled due to curiosity or a sense of duty; but with Sin & Punishment 2, the reason I chose to play was because I simply couldn’t keep my eyes off the screen. The r...

Immediately, I saw a friendly face: Associate PR Manager David Young, clutching one of the ...
Wired hands-on with Super Mario Galaxy 2
Wired got the grubby mitts on Mario Galaxy 2 yesterday. Here’s what they had to say: Galaxy 2 exists because the development team just didn’t stop coming up with ideas, thinking up enough new levels and concepts to justify a whole sequel.

Will The Vitality Sensor Really Add to the Horror Genre? A Quick Look at the Science of Fear
I’m not actually a paid journalist. Go figure. I’m just a Nintendo fan boy with an outlet to talk about video games. I’m actually a University student majoring in psychology. The mysteries of the human body and behavior are like crack to me. I love that stuff. So, naturally the implications of a device that could potentially measure the level of fear was super exciting to me. How...
