Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Preview

Fans of Nintendo's Mario Kart series will be interested in Sega's latest experiment, a crossover cart racing game in the vein of Sega SuperStars Tennis.

Clearly, Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing borrows much from Mario Kart, and that definitely appears to be a good thing. There's over 20 racers, with the actual number varying depending on which platform the copy of the game is for. All variations contain Sonic, Amigo, Ulala, Amy, Knuckles, Tails, and about fifteen more characters, but the Xbox 360 and Wii versions contain a few extras: Banjo & Kazooie, as well as Avatars for Microsoft, while Mii's join the mix for Nintendo's home platform.

Bit.Trip Beat Hands On Preview

Using Atari-esque graphics and an 8-bit soundtrack, Bit.Trip Beat embodies the characteristics of our favorite retro video game classics while adding a more modern feel to the gameplay.

Originally released back in March, Bit.Trip Beat has been gaining newfound exposure as result of the demo that has been released on the Wii Shop Channel.

Bayonetta Hands On Preview

Platinum Games' second release looks to be a fun and humorous take on Devil May Cry-like games.

Bayonetta is intentionally ridiculous. Developed by Platinum Games, it is a combo-heavy brawler where you control a Sarah Palin look-a-like who kicks the crap out foes with high heels, guns, and a sassy picture-posing attitude.

Dante's Inferno Hands On Preview

I guess I missed the part where Dante fought off big-titted women and babies with his huge scythe.

Dante's Inferno is two things to me right now, one of which is good and one of which is awful. Basically, it's just God of War, but it's also a travesty of a literary classic.

League of Legends: Clash of Fates Hands On Preview

Riot Games' soon to be released title, League of Legends, is taking the Defense of the Ancients gameplay mainstream

Back in 2003, a custom game scenario called Defense of the Ancients (known by fans as DotA) was made for Warcraft 3. This modified multiplayer map basically took the game’s hero classes, and made them the core game mechanic with support from AI controlled minions. The scenario was an instant hit and within only a few years the game reached worldwide popularity. It became arguably the world’s most popular unsupported game mod, even finding its place in tournaments like the World Cyber Games. Now in 2009, developer Gas Powered Games is trying its hand at a modified version of the game marketed towards more than the mostly hardcore audience that has enjoyed it to this point.

Pokemon Rumble Hands On Preview

This rumble is more Mystery Dungeon than fun.

The second WiiWare Pokemon game is luckily an actual game as opposed to a petting zoo, but Pokemon Rumble, which came out in Japan in June, is just a monotonous beat-'em-up with a bunch of Pokemon.
