Castle of Shikigami III Coming to Wii
Aksys Games announced today that it would be bringing vertical-shmup Castle of Shikigami III to the Wii next year. Vertical-shmups are always cool, so I’m really looking forward to this one. The Wii needs more stuff like this. “10 memorable characters” in a vertical-shmup should be interesting. The whole press release is after the link…

November Sales Numbers – DS Wins
The NPD group has released their sales numbers for November…so, I guess we should start with the bad news first. The PS2 is still outselling the PS3…embarrassing! To make matters worse, the PSP, PS2, and PS3 sales combined are less then the DS. The good news, the DS sold 1.53 million units and the Wii…

PS2 RPG’s, Which Should I Choose
Ok, I need help. There are a ton of PS2 RPG’s I haven’t played and I am now the proud owner of a $100 gift certificate to Best Buy. With said gift certificate I want to get some PS2 games. PS2 games are getting cheaper and cheaper, and I figure now is a good time…

Blizzard “Announces” New MMO
In a recent forum post a Blizzard community representative (Drysc) “confirmed” a new MMO from Blizzard. No, it is an unannounced Next-Gen MMO. And that doesn’t mean an expansion for World of Warcraft either. I’m not sure it’s really an announcement when a community representative mentions it on a web board, but it’s still something.…

Pokémon USA President Steps Down
Pokémon USA’s president Akira Chiba announced yesterday that he will be resigning from his position at the end of the year in order to pursue other opportunities. I guess I’d be pretty sick of Pokemon after that long, too. Chiba joined Pokémon USA, Inc in 2002. Chiba will be replaced by Kenji Okubo, the current…

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…

New Halo 3 Maps Available Today
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…

Patapon US Release Date Announced
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.…
