Smash-hit Flash game “Line Rider” coming to Wii and DS
Posted by inpheaux on December 19th, 2006 at 11:51 pmA few months ago, you probably saw the little Flash toy Line Rider. Like nearly all amazing Flash toys, it was simple. Draw a line, hit play, watch your little sledder fly off into oblivion. Despite having a very simple set of tools, Line Rider is flexible enough that it can be used to make [...]
Those reviews I promised
Posted by inpheaux on November 19th, 2006 at 2:10 amOr some of them, at least.
I'm sorry that this is going to be a rather terse update, but I only have however long it takes for my Wii to update itself before I am compelled to begin pouring hours upon hours of my life into it. So here goes, five new reviews:
Sam & Max (Season [...]
New set of Reviews & Previews posted
Posted by inpheaux on October 1st, 2006 at 7:48 pmWe've been busy around here, honest. Couple new things to discuss.
First: we've done away with our old numerical score system, as discussed on our forums. Numbers just don't convey any information anymore. What review sites are really trying to convey when it comes to scores is if we recommend a game or not, and if [...]
Thursdayton pre-show speculation
Posted by inpheaux on September 13th, 2006 at 11:53 amOver the next 48 hrs, Nintendo has three press events of substantial size taking place. First in Japan, tonight (???) at 8pm EDT. Then in New York, tomorrow at 9am EDT. Then in Europe, Friday at 7am EDT. Hopefully we should really be getting some serious information in the near future regarding Nintendo's worldwide plans [...]
Nintendo confirms new US DS Lite colors
Posted by inpheaux on August 24th, 2006 at 10:44 amJust a quickie thismorning: today, Nintendo confirmed that they will be releasing two new colors for DS Lites on 13 SEP 2006. The new colors are Onyx (black) and Coral Pink (uh . . pink, I guess). No-brainers, right?
With this, the only colors still exclusive to certain territories are the two blues only available in [...]
EU Release date for Opera DS - 06 OCT 2006
Posted by inpheaux on July 20th, 2006 at 11:50 pmNintendo of Europe, masters of inexplicable delays, have been kicking things into gear lately. Just look at their how they managed to get the DS Lite out the door in a reasonable timeframe, and in black, too!
This time, they've beat Nintendo of America to the punch on publishing a release date for the highly anticipated [...]
5 New Reviews (Seriously!)
Posted by inpheaux on July 12th, 2006 at 12:45 amYes. We've been sitting on these. Some of them for quite awhile. We're sorry about that, but again would like to blame E3 and Oblivion.
So here's what we've got:
1) Tetris DS - A great game you should already have by now.
2) Metroid Prime Hunters - A somewhat disappointing game you should have already finished and [...]
LucasArts’ Prez: Time is more important than Quality
Posted by inpheaux on June 17th, 2006 at 7:02 amFor anyone who's been attempting to play and enjoy recent games from LucasArts, a formerly epic game developer, this should seem like a no-brainer, but it's nice to see confirmation from up high. LucasArts cares more about deadlines than releasing good polished videogames.
Examine this wonderful quote from a recent interview LEC's President Jim Ward had [...]
DS Lite Really Seriously In Stores (For Real)
Posted by inpheaux on June 11th, 2006 at 11:23 amQuick little update today with a bonus prize inside!
For those of you who were unable to convince your local retailers to break the DS Lite's street date last week, it's finally out now. Really. Furthermore, we've known stores have had them all in stock so there's none of the standard one-day-wait to get units to [...]
DS Lite street date sorta-broken
Posted by inpheaux on May 31st, 2006 at 11:11 amThe nice thrifty people from Cheap Ass Gamer are reporting that the street date for the DS Lite has been broken . . . sorta. If you hit your local Target or Wal-Mart stores, there's a nonzero chance you may walk out with a DS Lite 11 days early. Unfortunately, it's more likely that you [...]
