Infendo previews the beautiful, constantly surprising Sin & Punishment: Star Successor
At the 2010 Nintendo Media Summit, there was nothing on display ”“Â not even the behind-closed-doors demonstration of Metroid: Other M ”“Â that looked quite as good as Sin & Punishment: Star Successor. Every other game I sampled due to curiosity or a sense of duty; but with Sin & Punishment 2, the reason I chose to play was because I simply couldn’t keep my eyes off the screen. The r...

Space. Wreckage. An storm of asteroids or possibly energy particles, destroying the remainder. And in the midst of the chaos and nothingness, a familiar-looking yellow-haired child encased in a sphere of energy, rendered in beautiful CG. Cut. “Why am I still alive?” speaks Samus in a cool, computer-like voice, dejected yet curious, as she stares out the inside of the translucent jelly ...
Wired hands-on with Super Mario Galaxy 2
Wired got the grubby mitts on Mario Galaxy 2 yesterday. Here’s what they had to say: Galaxy 2 exists because the development team just didn’t stop coming up with ideas, thinking up enough new levels and concepts to justify a whole sequel.

Will The Vitality Sensor Really Add to the Horror Genre? A Quick Look at the Science of Fear
I’m not actually a paid journalist. Go figure. I’m just a Nintendo fan boy with an outlet to talk about video games. I’m actually a University student majoring in psychology. The mysteries of the human body and behavior are like crack to me. I love that stuff. So, naturally the implications of a device that could potentially measure the level of fear was super exciting to me. How...

Super Mario Galaxy 2 trailer has me frothing at the mouth

Wait…What’s Left?Looking Forward to E3
Before the dust settles after this morning’s press event, I am already thinking about E3. With almost all of Nintendo’s loose ends tied up this morning, that leaves me thinking about what they didn’t tell us: the second half of the year.

Wii is a powerful name
I was playing around with the awesome Twitter Venn today and really realized that Wii is an awesome name. For the other systems, there are just so many variations on their names. I can think of at least six different ways to write PlayStation 3 and just as many for Xbox 360, but for Wii it’s always just “Wii”. In an age where your Google ranking can make a huge difference, ...
