Opoona Gameplay Trailer
I hadn’t ever heard of this game until I watched the trailer. Just based off the looks alone I wasn’t expecting it to be an RPG, I don’t know why. Seems pretty awesome, the gameplay description read “Explore the world and battle monsters all without using the Wii-mote!”. Without? I had to dig further…

Weekly Virtual Console Update
Well, apparently, the “GREATEST GAME EVER ANNOUNCED FOR WII SHOP CHANNEL” hit the VC today (atleast that’s what the press release said, anyway). Yes, Super Mario Bros. 3. I guess the other two (Alien Soldier and Power Golf) feel like crap right now. I mean…how do they compete with that, really? It’s always Super Mario…

NiGHTS Incorporates Wii Weather Channel in Gameplay
Sega’s hotly anticipated NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams will be the first Wii game to utilize the Wii weather channel. In the “My Dream” area, a zone filled with creatures the player can interact with, the weather conditions of your city will be reflected in the gameplay. So if it’s raining outside, it’s raining in the…

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Updates: Fire Emblem Theme, Fox’s Misfortune
Today’s Brawl update comes in two parts. The first is the Fire Emblem theme song, which is pretty cool. It has the lyrics writen out and everything! The next update is a video clip of Fox, Diddy Kong, and Rayquaza. You have to watch it yourself to really take it all in, but it’s really…

New Playstation 2 Model Coming Soon
Sony has already released a slimmed down PS2, but according to MCV (I’ve never heard of this site before), a new PS2 model will be released in 2008. It will have a built in power supply, unlike the slim PS2, so it may be slightly larger then the slim, but smaller then the original PS2.…

Gamestop Sucks
That’s right, you heard it here, first. Well, actually, you probably already knew it. All of the Gamestops that I have been in to in recent memory have been wretched hives of scum and villainy. Most are disorganized and dirty and I just generally dread having to go into them to get a game. I…

Awesome Radical Retrospective: Monster Party (NES)
This week we’re featuring one of my all time favorite NES games, Monster Party. It has everything: ridiculous story line, great music, giant maneating shrimp, and tons of blood that slipped by the censors somehow. Monster Party has “awesome” writen all over it.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Update: Meta Knight Final Smash
This morning’s Smash Bros. Dojo update displayed Meta Knight’s final smash. He swirls around his cape, does some other crap, everything gets dark, and finally someone gets sliced by his sword. I think I’ve already seen this on video, anyway, so reading about it isn’t exactly exciting.

Blizzard Reveals Pumpkin Carving Contest Winners
I always loved that Blizzard had a pumpkin carving contest every year. I loved seeing the Diablo II logo etched into the side of a pumpkin. I don’t know why, I always thought it was cool how someone could carve a pumpkin so well, while I could just barely manage two eyes and a mouth.…

Secret Playable Character Revealed for Super Mario Galaxy
That’s right, a super hidden second playable character has been revealed for Super Mario Galaxy. The character isn’t playable from the start of the game, and it will take some work to unlock them. Before you can play as the character you have to get all 120 stars. Don’t click if you don’t want to…
