Review: MySims Agents the best MySims yet
There’s something charming about listening to developers who are genuinely excited about their game. The exuberance with which they discuss their work is infectious, and while they gush like freckle-faced tee ballers being handed shiny plastic trophies, it’s almost impossible not to drop the hard-nosed editorial facade and share a little smile. As Electronic Arts’ Geoff Mitchell ...
Infendo Review: Spyborgs.That’s a Ninja not a Spy! Also, a Robot?
The awesome people over at Capcom recently sent me a copy of Spyborgs. An exclusive developed especially for the Nintendo Wii. As a lot of you probably already know, Spyborgs was originally planned as an interactive cartoon mixed with all sorts of gameplay elements. However, sometime during the production of the game, the game was scrapped and turned into a brawler/beat ’em up type of game. ...
Review: Get the real inside Story withMario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story
Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story is the third installment in the action-oriented RPG series, and when I say action-oriented you better know about “timed hits”. This time around, the game focus’s more on the King of Badness, Bowser. Something Nintendo has rarely done in previous titles unless you count Super Mario RPG the joint Square and Nintendo venture way back on t...
Review: Scribblenauts imaginative, but not perfect
Back in June, 5th Cell (creators of Drawn to Life and Locke’s Quest) blew everyone away at E3 with their new game, Scribblenauts, and its motto: Write Anything, Solve Everything. People were amazed by the idea of a game that could conjure up any object the user could imagine (except copyrighted or profane). Boasting a dictionary of over 22,800 words, Scribblenauts promised to be the most ima...
Review: Muramasa belongs in the Louvre
Forget rain on your wedding day, free rides when you’d already paid and good advice you just didn’t take. The most beautiful video game I’ve played this generation runs on the archaic, underpowered Wii. Sorry, Alanis, but that’s the definition of irony’don’t you think? The games press is notorious for spreading hyperbole, an offense to which even I’d admit occas...

Review – Shin Megami Tensai Devil Survivor
Shin Megami Tensai: Devil Survivor for the Nintendo DS is a jump into the long line of Shin Megami Tensai games. The series has always dealt with various degrees of biblical ideology; usually involving angels or demons tempting man. Devil Survivor does all that while bringing in a whole new strain on humans, the desire to survive during a catastrophe and what it means to be good or evil.

Review – Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box
It’s no mystery, I absolutely loved the first Professor Layton game. All the stories about new Layton games and movies in Japan make me green with envy. But finally, I have Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box in my hands and further in love with these games I fall! If you played the first game and liked it at all, buy this sequel. If you haven’t played the first, you can actually...
Not a five-star resort but still a great getaway: Infendo reviews Wii Sports 2
In 2005, Nintendo was sitting on some pretty hot technology. Instead of a joystick for its next console’then named Revolution’the company planned to release a perplexing white TV remote capable of sensing motion. If only Nintendo had an equally smoking game to showcase what the controls could do. Fast forward to today. That software turned out to be Wii Sports, which has since become a cultural ph...
[Review] Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 What makes my Dad and Tiger Woods awesome
I never thought I’d ask for my father’s help in a video game, but I was at my wits end – I was 12 over, behind a tree, in the deep rough, and my hand hurt. Tiger Woods PGA 10 had bested me, I needed someone who knew golf – time to ask Dad. “How do you hold your golf club?” I asked him, “My left hand keeps cramping up and I can’t get the ball to go st...
