Official Tron message board: Did you see it?
I shirked work this morning to watch an early bird screening of Tron: Legacy. AWESOME. You planning on seeing the movie tonight? If so, swing back here after you watch it and let us know what you thought. As for me, I think it’s better than The Matrix, and a lot more fun. 1000x better than the original Tron. You?
Phoenix Wright creator done it again with Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective for DS?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT4nr1M-aTU[/youtube] Although not out until Jan. 11, game’s getting early praise in advance reviews and previews. Looks like it could be a fun little DS game, as all the Wrights before it have been. Anyone else interested in this?
Club Nintendo shop gets a lot cuter
This might be my favorite item to appear in the Club Nintendo reward shop to date. Cripes, this is dangerously adorable. Two sets of patches (the other features Kirby and Prince Fluff) join some nifty-looking washcloth things (Nintendo calls them towels, but…c’mon, they’re not even ten inches square!) for your shopping enjoyment. Is it just me, or has the shop gotten a lot more i...
Grand Theft Mario: “Koopa just got real”
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk9oa_PiXAk[/youtube] Best line from the parody: “Never bring a hammer to a gunfight.” Warning: Somebody drops both an s-bomb and b-bomb in the video. Viewer discretion advised. (Thanks, Josh)
Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition defeated by math?
It has been noticed by savvy consumers proficient in the black art of arithmetic that the new Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition for Wii may not actually be the best deal. PC World recently advised against picking it up, noting that all four of the included classic Mario games can be purchased from the Wii Shop for a total of $21, which is $9 less than the $29.99 MSRP of the new Wii compilation...
Super Mario Sunshine: What went wrong?
Released in 2002 for GameCube, Super Mario Sunshine was by no means a bad game. But it wasn’t great either — far from the caliber of other Mario games. Anyone who says otherwise needs to take their Mario Goggles off. (Miyamoto is capable of releasing at least one dud, right? Two if you count Wii Music.) Whatever your opinion of the game, I think it’s safe to say Sunshine is def...
Two web games I can’t stop playing
Robot Unicorn Attack and Bejeweled 3. I’m hooked.
What’s next for Mario?
Save for 2002, those are all really great games. I wonder where Mario will go next. You?
Forget game of the year. Mario All-Stars Wii a shoe-in for box of the year award.
Gift wrap not included. But everything else about the $30 collectible with four really sweet retro remakes is consumer ready. To see more, get clicky with it.
Epic Mickey Review: It eventually lives up to its name
If you stick with it, Epic Mickey’s flawed-but-amazing journey leads to a spectacular gauntlet of boss battles and platform challenges where all the pieces finally fall together for a satisfying and (big sigh of relief) epic finale. If you’ve bought the game and find yourself stuck in the fetch-quest quagmire that plagues its midsection, keep going; Epic Mickey gets far better in its s...
