Counterpoint: Boom Blox didn’t fail nothin’

I’m reading a really good book right now, called Predictably Irrational. The first chapter is about how we humans tend to assign “anchors” to things, like price, and how we start to base future decisions off of our first impressions, even if at second glance those decisions start to look pretty stupid (I should probably dust off my copy of Strunk and White, too, after re-reading ...

Analyst: Wii fails Boom Blox’s “true test”

With his celestial voice, Freddy Mercury once belted the words, “Another one bites the dust.” Nearly three decades later, the meaning of the prophetic lyric is clear. The latest NPD sales figures show Boom Blox, EA’s critically acclaimed collaboration with filmmaker Steven Spielberg, sold a paltry 60,000 copies in May. As with Zack & Wiki, No More Heroes and Okami, it is disa...

Spray-paint controller for Wii?

Looking less like a plastic shell and more like real technology, check out the Wiispray graffiti controller featured over at PSFK: Wiispray is a prototype, currently under heavy development as part of a final-thesis design work by Martin Lihs at Bauhaus-University in Weimar, Germany. The virtual spraycan simulates real spraying characteristics and comes with a range of different caps and of course...

2007 Video game growth outpaced music, video

All signs are pointing to 2007 being the best year ever for video games, but how did the industry stack up against some of the Old Guard like movies and music? If the Entertainment Software Association (via Ars Technica) is to be believed, it was a banner year that left tired old things like “CDs” and DVDs” in the dust.

Top 16 sites to browse on the Nintendo Wii Internet Channel

Infendo Forums friend, ejamer, shares this awesome list of sites to browse with the Wii Internet Channel! The Wii Browser seems to be little more than a short-lived novelty for many people, but there are quite a few websites worth looking at when you’re trying to kill a few minutes. Here is my personal shortlist of “must-see” websites with your Wii.  Maybe it will help to breath...

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...

Nintendo Spotting: Wii car finishes 2nd edition

Some cool pics of NASCAR’s new Wii car, driven by Greg Biffle, can be found over at bits, bytes, pixels and sprites. And it means absoltuely nothing in the grand scheme of things, but… Luckily I had the Nintendo Wii car to cheer on! (There was also a Halo 3 car but it spent the 1st half of the race at the tail end and the 2nd half in the garage). What made the race work out so well is ...

Nintendo’s New World

One day, in the very near future I think, we may well all be privy to the land that Infendo contributor Malstrom now inhabits. I’d like to think that I have purchased the ticket, but have not yet stepped foot on the ship. Many of you who have read these epic articles might consider yourselves in that same boat, pardon the pun. In this the penultimate article to Malstrom’s recent series...

Washing the hardcore away

If this were December, and not the still rather toasty month of September, I’d say you should curl up with a nice cup of cocoa and enjoy this latest epic novella from Infendo resident savant Malstrom by a crackling fire of burning Lair discs and instruction manuals. But it’s not. But read it anyway. Every last word. It’s an epic piece on hardcore gamers (and much, much more), and...
