Six Million DS Systems Sold in 2007
That’s for the U.S. alone, and maybe that does seem that huge, but apparently that’s one DS sold every five seconds. I love my DS, so I can totally understand the appeal. I would think the biggest selling point for the system are the games, the DS has so many titles that appeal to a…

Nielson Company Issues It’s Top 10 List For 2007
Well, this list isn’t too shocking. World of Warcraft tops the PC list, probably because it’s totally awesome (maybe even too awesome). The Sims is still holding on though, with the number two spot. I don’t think I’ll ever forget playing that game for the first time…long story. The PS2 is still dominating the console…

No LittleBigPlanet Demo in 2007
Sure, I don’t own a PS3 yet, but it still hurts just the same. LittleBigPlanet seems like it will be a really fun game and I was interested to see and hear more about it. Unfortunately, the demo won’t be a available before sometime next year…oh well. Here’s the official quote: “I can officially confirm…

Three new maps are available for purchase today (the map Standoff is shown in the video above). The pack costs 800 points…I’m not really sure if I’m ready to drop money on three maps…I’ll have to speak to Gmoney, I’m sure he has them already some how. Anyway, here’s the details: Standoff’s symmetrical valley, with…

I made this post a couple of days, showing a trailer for Patapon. I really liked how it looked and the game play seemed pretty interesting. Well, Sony announced a North American release date for the game (Feb 2008) today which is totally radical. It also details some game play mechanics I was unsure about.…

Disgaea 3 Extended Japanese Trailer
I want this game, really bad. People complain about the graphics, “This is a PS3 game lol”, but the graphics don’t seem that horrible to me. I’m sure the game play will be great, and the combos seem cool as hell. Sort of reminds me of how ridiculous Knights of the Round was in Final…

The team that worked on PaRappa the Rapper, artist Rodney Alan Greenblat and musician and game designer Masaya Matsuura, are working on a music based game exclusively for the Wii.

Wii Virtual Console Update 12/10
Pokemon Snap, Ghosts ‘n Goblins, and BASEBALL STARS 2 head to the Virtual Console this week. I always liked Ghosts ‘n Goblins, but it was hard as hell. One time, Thrasher and I played Super Ghosts ‘n Goblins (I know, the update is for Ghosts ‘n Goblins on the NES, but this story must be…

TIME Picks Their Top Ten Games of 2007
TIME has picked their top ten video games of 2007. I don’t know if I would really regard them as the authority on gaming, but whatever. It’s pretty much the list you’d expect, all the biggies are there, I think. I love this comment about Halo 3: “The epic storyline and the stirring score don’t…

No More Heroes Video Preview
IGN has posted a pretty nice video preview for No More Heroes. The most obvious difference between this and Killer 7 is that No More Heroes seems a lot less linear, at least so much in that you can move around as you please in the city. Sure, the boss fights seem to be in…
