Super Mario Bros. Wii

There’s a time in a Nintendo Fans life when you go back to the well to see if there’s water left. If you’re still reading my philosophical first line, you’ll know I’m talking about the once “epic” Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo Emulation System (NES). Coming later this month will be the New Super Mario Bros. for the Wii and we got some screens to show it off.

Video: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Launch Trailer Pushes The Hype Train Along with Eminem

November 6th, 2009 Daniel Perez Comments

Infinity Ward released the official launch trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and boy, is it a doozie.

The gameplay footage we see in the trailer spotlights some previous footage that Infinity Ward released mashed in with some new footage, such as the satellite blowing up in space, into a single trailer with a very fitting soundtrack.  Eminem’s “Till I Collapse” was chosen as the song to help amp up the hype level for Modern Warfare 2, and to be honest, I see no other song more fitting than that one.  Not only does its beat bring out the emphasis how epic Modern Warfare 2 will be, but also Eminem’s lyrics are befitting of the game, specifically towards the end,

Cause I don’t really think that the fact that I’m Slim matters
A plaque of platinum status is whack if I’m not the baddest.

The original Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare set the gold standard for the FPS’ franchise, to which many other FPS games have adopted some of its ideas (XP, further customization of your character, etc.).  With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the already ridiculously high bar Infinity Ward set itself with CoD4:MW is now being challenged once again.

Yankees win the World Series, but best team in the World?

Yankees World Series Champs

ezukO456 Yankees win the World Series, but best team in the World?

A few weeks ago, I wrote an article on the best sport games of the 80’s.  One of my favorite games was Hardball, for the Atari computer platform. I could vividly remember a screen which struck me when I was a child and has sprung back up now as an adult.  Here is the infamous screenshot:

Review: Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, You Win Again Technology!

Ratchet and Clank

“So Insomniac is doing me like this with their latest, huh?”

That’s the first thing that came to my mind when I started playing Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time. The thought that the great marsupial-robot duo would be split apart for the title brought me great concern. Fortunately, those worries were quickly dissuaded as I stepped into the roles of hero Ratchet and — no longer just a backpack — Clank.

Review: Undead Knights

November 4th, 2009 Daniel Perez Comments

Undead Knights Review Main

We as humans have always had a fascination with the undead.  The undead have been discussed in books, danced in music videos, and murdered in video games on a regular basis.  In Tecmo’s Undead Knights, the undead take center stage.  This time, one of the main focuses is to create undead minions from sacrificing your enemies during battle.  Can raising the undead to fight for you really be that fun?

Review: DJ Hero, Put the Needle on the Record

November 3rd, 2009 mrjuandrful Comments

DJ Hero

No more pennies to weigh down the needle from skipping, Activision’s DJ Hero is the real deal without scratching your vinyls.  Growing up in the late 80’s to early 90’s everyone either wanted to be a DJ, were friends with a DJ or tried scratching on their grandparents old turntables.  Heck, my older brother, DJ Gonz, mixed it up in the 90’s snatching up every milk crate he knew of within a 10 mile radius.  Fifteen years later, how will this DJ simulation game compare to the real thing?

Impressions: God of War III Demo, WOW

November 2nd, 2009 mrjuandrful Comments

GOW3 Menu

We saw.  We played.  We were impressed.  Very impressed!  I can tell you right now, God of War III will be a MUST HAVE game in March 2010.  Kratos as we know him is back, with the scars to prove it running down his stomach.  The opening menu shows off Kratos in fantastic graphics.  Starting the story mode is very graphically satisfying.  I’ve always loved the God of War series for getting right to it.  No explanation, no reason, just straight up killing from the get go and God of War III is no different.  You’re not given any story line nor have any idea what your main objective is.  Except to kill those who are put in your way.

Modern Warfare 2 Perk, 25 Kills gets you Tactical Nuke

November 1st, 2009 mrjuandrful Comments

We mentioned how MW2’s F.A.G.S video showed off Cole Hamels hatred for Grenade Spammers.  No one likes a spammer, but how about an abuser of power.  It seems that Modern Warfare 2 has a new perk after reaching 25 kills in a row without dying.  It’s called “Tactical Nuke” and not only does it obliterate everyone, but you also kill yourself.
