Tips and Tricks – No More Heroes (Wii)
February 27, 2009 by Mike · Leave a Comment
For some reason, Dr. Peace wants to sing alone in a baseball field.
Talk about strange. No More Heroes for the Wii features some of the oddest enemies on this side of Nintendo consoles. This week, we feature the battle for rank 9. The enemy: Dr. Peace, a belting gun slinger with a penchant for blood. The battle isn’t really tough, but if you’re not careful, the good doctor will take you down easily.

Review – Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride (DS)
February 26, 2009 by Mike · Leave a Comment
Dragon Quest returns to the diminutive Nintendo DS.
Everyone loves a good yarn. In RPGs, the story carries a huge influence on the player’s enjoyment, but it’s not the only basis of the game’s overall quality. Factors such as gameplay, presentation, and overall polish are also considered. Square Enix’s Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride does all these in spades, but it’s the story that leaves you wanting for more.

The violent game we’re featuring in this week’s meta review is The House of the Dead: Overkill. This new House of the Dead isn’t getting attention because it’s gruesome, but because it’s good. See what the critics are saying:

Mario fights the Spartans of Halo

Mario is at war with Spartans.
It’s official: the Mushroom Kingdom is at war with all the Spartans of Halo—at least that’s what a trailer tells us. There’s no rhyme or reason for the hostility, but the ensuing battle sure is hilarious. The action is also a strange sight as Goombas, Koopa Troopas, and Bullet Bills, all fight with Mario against the 3D Spartans. The video’s maker also made references to Dragonball Z. Can you find it amidst the chaos?

Video explains Nintendo DSi features
See the Nintendo DSi bells and whistles.
By this time, you’ve probably already heard that the Nintendo DSi is coming to North America on April 5. There was a lot of buzz surrounding the DSi and with good reason—its improvement isn’t merely limited to the handheld’s screen. Aside from obvious new features like the camera, the DSi is coming with even more bells and whistles. Nintendo was kind enough to put together a video detailing the new stuff.

Review – Elebits: The Adventures of Kai and Zero (DS)
February 18, 2009 by Mike · Leave a Comment
Elebits is loaded with great bosses.
Elebits has made it to the Nintendo DS, but it’s not quite the same game as it was on the Wii. Unlike the Wii’s first-person adventure, The Adventures of Kai and Zero takes players on a multi-dimensional romp that’s part Pokémon and part Legend of Zelda.

Madworld for the Wii is gleefully violent
February 16, 2009 by Mike · Leave a Comment
Blood is the only color in Madworld.
This year is shaping up to be a boon for Wii owners looking for games that are a bit more “mature” (i.e. violent). Halfway through February, and we’ve already seen the release of Deadly Creatures and The House of the Dead: Overkill. Next week, Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop would hit store shelves. Don’t forget to mark your calendar next month because Madworld is coming.
