Konami is holding four online events, two for each character, in the upcoming months.
Fans of Metal Gear Online will be excited to know Konami plans to hold four 24-hour survival events to promote the birthdays of Ga-Ko, the duck, and Kerotan, the frog.
There are few games I recommend for absolutely everyone, and Marble Saga Kororinpa has earned its place as one of them.
The makings of Marble Saga Kororinpa are very simple. The Wii Remote is a stand-in for an on-screen table, and tilting the Wii-Remote tilts the table. The basics are that simple, but the execution is, without a doubt, remarkable. In addition, players can make the marble bounce with a flick of the Wii Remote, and on-stage hazards and objects vary the game's mechanics, creating over a hundred unique and fresh stages for any fan of skill-based puzzles.
Last Thanksgiving and Christmas, I brought New Super Mario Bros. Wii over for my family to try. How did it go?
I took New Super Mario Bros. Wii home to my family last Christmas (and Thanksgiving), and we had a lot of fun with it, but what surprised me the most was how independent and unique everyone seemed to play.
Fans of Hotel Dusk and other mystery titles will want to consider Again.
CING's Again, for the DS, will be released March 30th. Gamers should find the game plays similarly to Hotel Dusk, and fits description of the Interactive Novel genre, in particular.
How did 5th Cell react to the hype for the game?
I've dished out a lot of blame to gaming journalists, with all those review snippets on the first day, as well as the few articles I chose to connect here yesterday, but I'll be honest, it wasn't all Kotaku's, IGN's, or any particular gaming journalist's fault that prerelease hype for Scribblenauts grew out of hand. Take a look at most of the "famous" Post #217 from the NeoGAF forums, and the impressions of Scribblenauts it contains, though be warned, there is a bit of foul language:
A solid, but still flawed follow-up to Travis Touchdown's first outing.
As you all know, around two weeks ago I played through No More Heroes for the first time. With the second game already out, it only made sense to keep on going and jump right into No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle.
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.
