Poll – Do you play games Alone?
A majority of games are generally one player titles that do not feature co-op play. The question here is do you usually play alone, or do you play in groups when playing a one player game? {democracy:113}
Youtube Tuesday – Ghost ‘n’ Goblins Rag Time
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeytLzRY_0Y[/youtube] The melody of this 1985 Capcom coin-op video game theme always has been ragtime, or so youtube uploader Ron O’Dell says… For those of you who don’t know, the original theme was composed by Ayako Mori. The game Ghosts ‘n Goblins was titled “Makaimura” in the original Japanese… And if your interes...
Activision takes a cheap shot at Mario Kart
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVr0tcBZqGg[/youtube] In an interesting and dynamic ad campaign, Blur the new racing game being released by Activision, has decided to poke a little fun at Mario Kart. The commercial features a very broccoli-headed-avatar very reminiscent of Toad looking wistfully at the racetrack next door. Amazed at how awesome it is over there, and then even becoming viol...
Wonderful WiiWare: Cave Story [Review]
Sometimes it seems WiiWare is the ultimate showcase of “hit or miss” titles, with offerings ranging from the wildly pointless and stupid, to amazingly inspired and engaging. I’m proud to say that the Cave Story is the latter, and by far one of the most complete and satisfying WiiWare titles to date. Those familiar with indie gaming on the PC might remember Cave Story as Doukuts...
New Game Get — Nintendo releases for the week ending May 30th
While in Japan I’m still bitterly awaiting the release of Super Mario Galaxy 2, in the states there is a whole new week’s worth of games to purchase and play — what games are you looking forward to?
Super Mario Galaxy 2 isn’t as awesome as an all-new Mario, but it’s still an awesome game
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yat9LvFtixs[/youtube] When I fire up a new Mario game, I expect to be wowed by an entirely new experience. Which is why it’s difficult for me to recommend Super Mario Galaxy 2 to anyone seeking all-new digs. I’ve played it. Still haven’t beat it. But I think it’s best described as the most creative expansion pack ever released as a st...

FCC approves new Wii remote, MotionPlus built-in?
Not only has the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) inadvertently revealed information regarding the 3Ds’ screens, but it’s also tipped us off to a new version of the Wii remote. The new Wii remote which sports an RVL-036 label instead of the current RVL-003 branding was approved by the FCC, but manufacturer Hon Hai Precision–also known as Foxconn–submitted a confiden...
3D Dot Game Heroes, A great Homage
While Infendo usually reviews Nintendo related games, and most of you are wondering why 3D Dot Game Heroes is being reviewed on this site. I have to say that this game is heavily tied to the 8bit era, and has an even stronger tie to the original and famous Nintendo game, The Legend of Zelda. However, the question remains… is 3D Dot Game Heroes a complete rip off of a great game? or is it som...
Infendo Poll: Is the DS Educational?
In Japan, there are DS titles to teach you just about anything you can think of. From how to cook, to how to smile, there’s no shortage of these instructional non-games, the bulk of which are focused on learning a new language: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TApmE77HqhQ[/youtube] See how they hide the girl’s face when she’s speaking English at the end? Titles like this s...
