A solid, but still flawed follow-up to Travis Touchdown's first outing.

Where did things go wrong?
So what pushed members of the gaming media to become so enthusiastic with Scribblenauts coverage? What encouraged reviewers to ignore or flat out dismiss a terrible control scheme? What caused them to neglect to mention how basic most summonable things are?
And the winner is...?
Today I examine the game that was the winner of multiple game conference awards, received the beaming reviews quoted yesterday, and has now sold over a million copies.
"...the video game equivalent of your first kiss."
Last year, a game was released that received universal praise up until launch.
Quite possibly the best and most feature-packed arcade stick currently available for Wii.
Most gamers familiar with the Mad Catz name are typically reluctant to purchase their products; I'm not surprised considering their track record, and many poor quality peripherals. Recently, Mad Catz has entered the arcade stick market with Street Fighter IV branded arcade sticks, as well as the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Arcade FightStick, which was released in conjunction with the recent Wii fighter. While Mad Catz has a questionable track record, I am happy to say that after thoroughly playing numerous games using this arcade stick, this is a fantastic controller.
A CD containing tracks from the game will be available at some retailers.
Gamers interested in the upcoming Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon should be excited to hear XSEED has announced a preorder bonus exclusively for GameStop and EB Games customers.

I definitely missed the boat with No More Heroes. Sure, I bought it near release, but the best I ever did was wipe out the first boss and get into a few side jobs. Other things seemed to come up and the game got shelved indefinitely. As we all know, the second title in the series has just been released, which incidentally acted as a pretty good motivator to go back and finish what many called one of the Wii's greatest games.
And you thought mods for Wii games weren't possible.
As we all know, Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been available for nearly two years at this point. Being the most popular entry into the series yet, there have been an unbelievable number of players experiencing the beefy offering.
The latest game in the True Crime series will put you in the role a detective infiltrating the Hong Kong Triads.
Today, Activision officially announced the latest entry into the True Crime series. The title was revealed this weekend during the Spike TV 2009 Video Game Awards.
