People pirating Nintendo DS games in the UK? Well the British high court has just sunk your battleship. MCVUK carries word that a London High Court issued the ruling in a case against Playables Limited, decreeing that the R4 cards are now illegal to import, advertise or sell. Defendant Wai Dat Chan had attempted to [...]

The 3DS and handedness

by Ben Alford · July 8th, 2010 · 23 Comments

In reading an interview with Masahiro Sakurai (Kirby, Super Smash Bros.) on Wired.com’s GameLife, one of my fears about the design of Nintendo’s forthcoming portable, the 3DS, was realized. Sakurai describes the controls for Kid Icarus: Uprising: “The controls are really boiled down to three separate devices on the 3DS: The slide pad for movement, [...]

E3 2010: The Nick Awards

by Nick Henderson · June 22nd, 2010 · 7 Comments

E3 2010 is over and I have had a few days to let it all sink in and officially decide who will win my attention over the next year and which ones will fall to the wayside. Surprisingly, there were also a lot of disappointments this year, in fact, the show was rather underwhelming this [...]

E3 2010: Okamiden Leaves a (small) Impression

by Nick Henderson · June 19th, 2010 · 7 Comments

I would rank the original Okami as one of the best titles in the PS2 library. It ranks up high with games like Shadow of the Colossus and Ico because it beautifully melded a unique and beautiful art style with gripping game play mechanics. When you consider that it was also a long game with [...]

E3 2010: Goldeneye Remake Is a Remake Done Right

by Nick Henderson · June 17th, 2010 · 22 Comments

I managed to get some hands on time with the upcoming Goldeneye remake for the Wii today. This is quite possibly one of my favorite games of E3 2010 for a number of reasons. It really looks as though Eurocom has taken a unique approach to remaking a classic title. With a game as beloved [...]

E3 2010: Zelda’s Big Day

by Nick Henderson · June 16th, 2010 · 6 Comments

I will refrain from talking to much about the game itself because I have yet to get my hands-on time with the game but it is definitely worth mentioning that Nintendo announced the first original Zelda for the Wii today!  Surprisingly, Nintendo opened with one of the more underwhelming reveals of the press briefing, Zelda: [...]

E3 2010: It’s On Like Donkey Kong… With REAL CO-OP!

by Travis Granger · June 15th, 2010 · 7 Comments

It has been nine years, and now we are finally able to jump back into the country of Donkies and Kong. Retro Game Studios has decided to bless us, and possibly Nintendo, with the successor to a series many of us grew up loving (with tongue). Donkey Kong Country Returns, A game that hopefully revitalizes [...]

Finally Finished and All I Have to Say Is…

by Nick Henderson · May 31st, 2010 · 38 Comments

Some may say that I am not the best person to comment on the quality of a game like “Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past” but I say nay, I am the perfect person. I write this, fully aware that it will outrage a lot of people. Before you go any further, let [...]

My Frustrations with Professor Layton

by Nick Henderson · April 29th, 2010 · 7 Comments

My absence from the site for the past few weeks has been unfortunate but I have been trying desperately to keep up with the new releases and tackle some of my laundry list as of late. My latest conquest has been a fresh experience (to say the least) but also one of the most frustrating [...]

Travis and David return to Texas and join us in the “studio” for this weeks episode! We traveled to Houston Texas this week to attempt our first panel at Anime Matsuri, a local Anime Convention and it was an interesting experience to say the least. There weren’t many games to be played but that won’t [...]

Great News Spotted in the Early Parts of the New Mario Galaxy 2 Trailer

by Brad Simons · March 31st, 2010 · 5 Comments

It seems Nintendo fixed the one thing I really HATED about Mario Galaxy. No more slogging around an overly large and confusing hub world in order to get to the real gameplay. This structure worked well in Mario 64 because there were much fewer worlds, and you spent a lot more time in each level. [...]

Tackling 2-Dimensions: Tonight on the Feed

by Nick Henderson · March 28th, 2010 · 17 Comments

I play a lot of games. More so than most people who would consider themselves avid gamers. Unfortunately for me however, I was not exposed to the wonderful world of gaming until the release of the N64 in 1996. I didn’t grow up playing games that most gamers consider to be classics like Metroid, Final [...]
