Super Mario Wii Review

Super Mario Wii



Being a traditional style Mario adventure, Nintendo has stuck to the tried-and-tested storyline of Princess Peach being kidnapped by Bowser. Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad and Yellow Toad are all busy celebrating the Princess? birthday, but have the unpleasant surprise of finding out the massive cake that just arrived is indeed a trap. Out pop Bowser Junior and the Koopa Kids, into the cake goes Peach and off they all fly in Bowser?s airship, leaving the Mario Bros. and Toads looking bemused. Can her royal highness of the Mushroom Kingdom be rescued? Well, that is where you, and up to three friends if desired, come in!

New Super Mario Bros. takes place across eight worlds consisting of numerous sub-levels, special Toad houses where items and lives can be collected, and even nifty shortcut cannons that launch the plumbing duo to another world, bypassing a whole slew of stages along the way. As with the old school Mario platform games from the NES and Super NES, players are faced with a top-down overview of the current world they are on, with Mario being moved from one location to the next, but limited in exactly where he can travel. Whilst there are times when a few path choices are available, generally it is a case of ?complete a stage to move on.? It may seem ... [Continue Reading]

GameStop stock dives after Wal-Mart game discounts

Amateur Surgeon Game
GameStop officials don't think Wal-Mart will hurt sales at stores
such as the one in Collin Creek Mall in Plano.





GameStop Corp.'s stock price took a hit Wednesday after Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said it was discounting many top-selling video games and giving $50 gift cards to Nintendo Wii buyers.

GameStop officials don't think Wal-Mart will hurt sales at stores such as the one in Collin Creek Mall in Plano.

Shares of the Grapevine-based video game retailer fell $1.97, or 8.3 percent, to close at $21.87 after Wal-Mart turned its muscle-flexing onto GameStop's turf.

Since October, Wal-Mart has been selectively cutting prices in popular gift categories, including new release DVDs, best-selling books and popular toys. That forced competitors Amazon.com, Target Corp. and others to match or beat Wal-Mart's prices.

Now Wal-Mart is discounting top-25 video game titles by 15 percent to 20 percent through ... [Continue Reading]

Amateur Surgeon Now a Free Game from iTunes!

Amateur Surgeon Game


Amateur Surgeon: Christmas Edition is the follow-up to last year's original, which was a top selling iPhone game. This game, set to go up on the iTunes App Store tomorrow, is going to be free. Think of it as a Christmas gift from the people at Adult Swim Games. They sent me an early preview so I could try it out. Because of this, I've been performing amateur surgery all afternoon.

Amateur Surgeon is exactly as it sounds. If you've ever played doctor in games like Atlus' Trama Center series, you'll have an idea of what's going on here. The difference with AS is that this is a bit more crude, especially in this Christmas version.

It's right around Christmas, and Alan Probe is now hugely successful as a surgeon, flying in his private plane, minding his own business. He was off to a Happy Holiday until his jet was involved in a mid-air collision with none other than the Christmas man himself, Santa Claus. To make Christmas right again, Probe has to operate on elves, reindeer, and Not-so-Jolly ol' Saint Nick himself.

Given the sudden nature of the collision, you'll have only the tools of Santa's workshop to operate with. That means going in with drills, pixie dust and...Etch-a-Sketch? Whatever works, right? Being an iPhone game, you'll touch the screen to select any of several implements, and then touch the patient's gruesome wounds to operate. Pinchy toy claws will be used to pull candy cane pieces and Christmas tree branches out of wounds. A chef's knife will have to do when cutting out Christmas lights that managed to get embedded under ... [Continue Reading]

Avatar Points Way to Future of Movie Games

Avatar Game

Yannis Mallat had what he calls a "defining moment" three years ago this month. The CEO of Ubisoft's flagship game-development studio in Montreal, Mallat was pitching James Cameron and his producer, Jon Landau, on his idea for a videogame based on Cameron's Avatar.

He got straight to the point: The real star of Avatar isn't Jake Sully, the paraplegic vet at the center of the action. It's Pandora's the world Cameron created. And Pandora is in trouble.

Wal-Mart delivering Wii deal, cheaper new games

Big Savings on Games at Walmart


In order to match some of the internet's more enticing deals, Wal-Mart is dropping games like Halo 3: ODST and Left 4 Dead 2 to $50 while giving free $50 gift cards with Wii console purchases.

Something strange has happened to me this year. My years of retail experience have worn off, and I've stopped searching brick-and-mortar stores for holiday deals, instead opting for the convenience of online retailers like Amazon. The fact that San Francisco has a pretty sparse selection of movie and game retail locations probably speeded the process up, though. Regardless, my point remains-- In these cash-strapped times, consumers are even more desperate for deals,... [Continue Reading]

G-Star 2009: Steel Dog Hands-on

An arena tank game that can seriously draw a crowd.
by Ryan Clements

November 28, 2009 - NCsoft is a big deal here at G-Star 2009. Although the publisher is much smaller in the United States, it has quite the following in Korea, which is more than clear when you pass by its massive booth on the show floor. Packed with eager gamers, the NCsoft booth has two main attractions when it comes to playable games: Metal Black and Steel Dog. While Charles wrote impressions on Metal Black earlier in the show, I had the opportunity to sit down with Steel Dog and see what all the fuss was about. After all, a huge crowd had gathered at the NCsoft booth to watch a multiplayer session of this arena tank game, so Steel Dog must be doing something right.

In Steel Dog, players select a character and ... [Continue Reading]

June video game sales drop sharply

June Game Sales Graph


By BARBARA ORTUTAY (AP)

NEW YORK — Squeezed by the economic downturn, U.S. retail sales of video games dropped sharply in June, the largest year-over-year decline the industry has seen in nearly nine years.

Market researcher NPD Group said Thursday that sales of game hardware, software and accessories plunged 31 percent from the same month last year, to $1.17 billion. It marked the biggest year-over-year decline since September 2000.

The drop "is certainly going to cause some pain and reflection in the industry," said NPD analyst Anita Frazier in a statement.

June was the fourth straight month to see a sales decline this year, even as video game companies continue to tout their products as a cheap form of entertainment. Recession-battered consumers are nonetheless cutting back on spending, and there have also been fewer hit game launches in recent months than in the corresponding period in 2008.

While retail sales have declined, the video game audience is continuing to expand. But many people are playing games online, for free. ... [Continue Reading]
