Thursday, May 11th, 2006

Check out this footage from the Nintendo booth at E3 featuring a long look at the new Super Mario game coming to Wii.

Word is this won’t be a [...]

-image-Halo 3 Trailer

Tuesday, May 9th, 2006

You can download the high quality trailer from the official Halo 3 site.
Personally, I’m not as jazzed about Halo 3 compared to the previous titles in the series. The original Halo rocked, but despite the expanded multiplayer component, I found Halo 2 to be pretty boring…

Joysitq runs down the features here where as the official site is a bit less than informative… 7 One of the more interesting features mentioned in the write-up is that:

Red Steel looks [...]

Sometimes I look forward to the most idiotic things. Check out this video clip.

I love the sound effects and that the dragon from Dig Dug’s in there. I hope the game’s good.
Namco does have some experience with Kart games — they co-developed the arcade version of Mario Kart [...]

Monday, May 8th, 2006

Check out Engadget & Joystiq’s live coverage of Sony’s PlayStation 3 E3 event.
Here’s a pic of the best thing I got out of the press conference:

They de-boomeranged the controller and returned to the DualShock shape we all know and love, and apparently added something a little special at the same time:

Monday, May 8th, 2006

TIME.com posted a pretty neat preview of the Wii titled A Game For All Ages.
Wario Ware sounds like fun, but I wonder how games like Madden will run on the thing.
