Dogz is a pet simulation game that lets owners name, train and play with a realistic puppy. Players create and control a main character and choose one of 49 different dogs from 18 different breeds. As chara...

…Like the rest of this generation’s consoles. I read this last week when Nintendo cited the Cube as the reason for it’s missing profit targets. Of course this system is nearing it’s end! That’s expected under the current 5 year life cycle for home consoles. I could be wrong, but with exception of the NES, has it ever been any different? I guess I just don’t see ...

Not much to look forward to this week, but hopefully Castlevania DS and the previous slew of choice titles are still keeping you entertained. Here’s the skinny on the notable ones: Zatch Bell! Mamodo Battles (GC) SSX On Tour (GC) Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (DS) FIFA 06 (GBA) Any suit your fancy?

Floating around the internet today is a new video of single player Mario Kart action. The video shows Luigi in his new vacuum kart racing around a new town level with a bunch of NPCs and what seems to be some human players with logos over their heads.

Nintendo is still holding strong in Japan this week, as the Nintendo DS continues to top the hardware charts, followed distantly by the PSP. The GB Micro comes in third, behind the PSP by around a thousand units. On the software side, five games for Nintendo handhelds are on the top 10 list, two of which crown the first and second placements. While there are no numbers here in North America, it wo...

On the 17th of November, Japanese Micro owners will be able to buy a slick new Pikachu faceplate. If I lost you at Pikachu, take one look at it and you’ll want one. I’m digging the black on red with the white Pikachu silhouette. What’s your most wanted Micro faceplate? [by Rollin, Source: DS-x2]

Earlier today, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law, AB 1179, which makes it a crime to sell or rent violent or sexual videogames to minors. I’m all for keeping little people from easily accessing elicit content, but the controversy lies in the law’s definition of “violent” which is rather vague. We don’t think games encourage criminal acts among ...

J. Allard, the father of the Xbox 360 isn’t so thrilled about the Revolution’s new controller.
