Weigh In – Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix (Wii version)
Harry Potter for the Wii sounds like a match made in heaven for the unique controls of the console. Your Wii Remote becomes a magic wand. But is the game able to successfully cast a spell on those who play it?
Nintendo laughs at Sony price drop
Ok, so there was no laughing. From Nintendo anyway. I, on the other hand, had a guffaw or ten. Two hundred and forty days into the life of your console, and you’re cutting prices? Sigh. And I was having such fun battling the PS3 as a rabid Nintendo fanman (I am no boy). Nintendo’s George Harrison takes Sony out to the woodshed and beats the snot out of it with his trusty solid silver c...
EA: “We’re Boring People To Death”
The video games industry is now changing broadly at a breakneck pace, and no where are the effects of this phenomenon demonstrated more perfectly that with the executives at EA. Ever since EA had its hat handed to it following the successful launch of the Wii back in November (and the subsequent holiday season) by the likes of Ubisoft and others, its executives have come out in full force to show ...
Gonna’ be a Wiitar Hero
I read an article on Kotaku that said Gaming-age had an article with details on Guitar Hero III controllers, with the Wii one pictured.

While it’s primarily a list of the best DS games out there, it does include a few titles that they shouldn’t be too proud of (Super Princess Peach?), but also some newer cult hits you might not know about (Etrian Odyssey). Take a look at the list and l...
Weigh In – Planet Puzzle League
I was going to do a full Weigh In article about Planet Puzzle League, but Ben Woods at N-Philes covered any and every base I would want to with this review. After I started to really feel like a winner and do well at the game, I took my skillz online and promptly had my butt handed to me by several people who share my birthday. Have you played Planet Puzzle League for the DS yet? If so, share your...
