I will admit that I have, upon occasion played a Pokemon game or two. Never the card game, mind you, as during that craze I still held true to my Magic: The Gathering roots. I will admit that the video games are fun, but I know when there are games that I should stay away from.

When you know that a major game will be coming out, you’ll usually wait around for a demo to come out a short while before the actual game does. You’ll usually get enough of a taste of the game to leave you wanting more, and thus play it over and over.

By Chris Scott Barr on Monday, Apr 21st 2008 10 Comments

When games are released on both the Xbox 360 and PS3, there’s always the question of which version will be better. It usually comes down to two different categories: graphics and extra features.

By Chris Scott Barr on Monday, Apr 21st 2008 No Comments

Rock Band has been out for a while now, and Harmonix has been true to their word about providing fresh DLC on a weekly basis.

Again, Harmonix is good on their word, and will be releasing their first full album tomorrow.

Picture this: take a major fighting game franchise and team them up with a major comic book universe. Just think of it, the possibilities are endless. You could take some of the most bad-ass superheroes (and perhaps villains) from the comic book universe and pit them against your favorite video game fighters. Man, that would be so awesome. Wait, what year is it?

We’ve known that there were over 10 titles in the works that take advantage of the Wii Fit Balance Board, but we really haven’t heard much information on these titles. Sure, we’ve been hearing about Wii Fit for a while, but with the launch coming up next month, we’re getting interested in hearing what sort of games we can expect. As it turns out, the board would be perfect to use in a boxing game.
