Cynical about the chances of Nintendo’s Wii U? Worried it might not succeed, or that its weird screen thing will fail to make the Wii’s lightning strike twice? Well, meaty executive Reggie Fils-Aime disagrees with you! Bet you never saw that coming. “The Wii U has to deliver a differentiated experience that can only be brought to bear through the use of these two screens,” he said. “If all we do is a beautiful game in HD, it’s been done before....

Afterlayoffs were issued at Eidos Montrealat the start of 2024, hopes of ever seeing a newDeus Exgame went out the window (thanks, Embracer Group). It’s a shame, really. The last entry – 2016’sDeus Ex: Mankind Divided– ended in a way that a follow-up made sense. To drop the series so abruptly while it was enjoying a resurgence feels like a massive middle finger to the fans. But we’re not here to talk about that....
Optimistic me: they’re tricking us into thinking it’s not as good as it will be … for some reason Did she just say “Welcome to the rebellion, Wade?” [Punctuation mine.] Massive eye rolls. Lowering expectations. And was that a boardroom scene? Did no one learn fromIron Fist?!? No, no showing Chucky did not make up for that. What’s more fun than the second trailer forReady Player One, directed by Steven Spielberg?...
Super Mario Spikers Next Level Games developed two fun soccer games,Super Mario Strikers, then a bunch of other junk before the excellentLuigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon.

Mario Volleyballturned intoSuper Mario Spikers. According to Unseen 64, it made it to a playable prototype phase, which is what scared Nintendo off because of the level of violence....
Building a ‘better game experience’ After a solid couple of years’ marketing and multiple beta tests, cooperative multiplayer titleBabylon’s Fallfinally launched, March 3, on PlayStation and PC platforms.

Women vs. Men in Video Game Consoles Would you believe me if I told you that more women own a home video game console in the United States than men? According toPew Research Center’s studyof 1,907 adults ages 18 and older, that is indeed the case. As you’re able to see from the results, women own consoles at a rate of five percent more than men. Also, people that have some college experience but never completed it make up the majority of console owners, which makes you wonder if peopledropped out to become aGuitar Hero....

In plushie form, of course InStory of Seasons: Trio of Towns, the latest entry in theBokujō Monogatarifarm sim franchise, your character can adopt a pet to keep them company around the farm. There is a wide variety of cat and dog breeds to choose from, including Maine Coon, German Shepherd, Mastiff and American Shorthair.
