Assassin’s Creed DS to feature .. raccoons!?
The differences between Assasin’s Creed on the PS3 and what it will eventually look like on the DS sometime in 2008 are legion, I’m sure. Graphics? Take whatever comparisons and trash talking were made between the PS3 and Wii in 2006 and add a healthy dose of HGH. The sound? The DS might as well be a Game & Watch in this situation, no offense to the great Gunpei Yokoi. Controls? Hm...
An exploration of Zelda theory
Ah, Infendo, let’s embrace it — we loves us some Zelda. And we’re far from alone in our affinity for sword-slashing and Hyrulian dungeon-crawling. The Legend of Zelda has been one of the most revered video game franchises of all time, selling nearly 50 million units of software and spanning more than 20-years-worth of games. And if the recent release of Phantom Hourglass for the ...
Complete Guitar Hero 3 setlist revealed
Here’s the ordered setlist kindly compiled by Video Games Blogger. I’ll see you guys online next week to melt some freakin’ faces off, friend codes be damned. UPDATE: Knights of Cydonia by Muse (one of the greatest songs ever recorded by man btw) looks insanely hard on expert mode. I. Can’t. Wait. For. This. Game. Tier 1: Starting Out Small 1. Slow Ride (as made famous by F...
Will Wright: Wii is the only true next generation console
I think I just added Spore creator Wii Wright to my Christmas shopping list. In an interview with Guardian Unlimited Wright, who also created the Sims, called the Wii the only true next-generation console out of the three new console platforms on the market. Of course some of us already subscribe to this belief, but to hear someone of Wright’s caliber put it so succinctly might win over a fe...
Japanese DS gets an official TV hookup
Japanese cellphones have it, cars have it, the PSP has it, why not the DS? Come next month Japanese DS owners be able to pick up DS Terebi, or “DS Television,” a TV receiver that plugs into the DS game slot and allows you to watch TV on the 1seg network, the same band that other Japanese mobile devices have been tapping into for the past few years.
How I know the Wii will dominate this holiday season
OK, so no one *knows* anything until it actually happens, but something came across the Infendo news wire today not directly related to the Big N and confirmed in my mind the Wii will dominate the holiday–again. Weird thing is, it was an Xbox 360 box and the press release that accompanied it. Jeff Bell, MS PR drone, take it away: “As families gather together this holiday, it’s th...
Smash Bros Brawl cut scenes are perfect
The Super Smash Bros Dojo site updated again today with another cut scene for the game’s Adventure mode. This new video features Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. While these aren’t necessarily two of my favorite characters, the way that the cut scene is directed makes me want to watch it again and again. In fact, all of the videos they have released so far are practically perfect. Is ...
Xbox 360 + Halo 3 > Wii in Sept. unit sales
The motion-sensing Wii couldn’t muster the strength to fend off Halo mania last month in total hardware sales. Here’s how the bloody bout went down… Xbox 360 sold 527k units last month, followed by 501k Wii units, 496k DS units, 285k PSPs, 215k PS2s, and 119k PlayStation 3s above 75k Game Boy Advance units according to the NPD. Should be interesting to see what happens this holid...

GameSpot posted video of the demo that will be available for play at this week’s E For All Expo. Behold, and drool: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ad-SnIBzkR8[/youtube]
Nintendo’s perfect week
I think this week is a great opportunity to reflect on Nintendo’s future. There was the megaton press events in Japan and San Francisco that showed more new content than I think even the big media rags were prepared to see. There was the exhaustive list of third party titles that Nintendo fired off on Thursday to showcase the fact that yes, third parties had signed onto this Wii thing, and t...
New publisher readies Nintendo Power, but first a look back
From Game Set Watch: At its peak, NP was the premier outlet through which gamers got their info and strategies. For a time from its inception to around 1995, having a game make the cover of NP was a major advertising coup for whatever third-party publisher managed the feat, because full coverage in the mag had a direct effect on sales of the sort that good reviews in Famitsu are purported to have ...
Endless Ocean – cas-core gaming to the max
I’m a cas-core (casual core) gamer. I pick up games and play them for less than an hour at a time. Some of my favorite games are best played with a friend. Puzzles? Awesome. Story lines? Who needs ’em. So when I read a press release about Nintendo’s upcoming 2008* title, Endless Ocean, my cas-core excitement meter went through the roof. Have you ever wanted to explore the bottom ...
