New FIFA Street Game Modes Video

February 9, 2012 By Sara Leave a Comment

David Beckham's Super Bowl ad caused a bit of a stir, bringing football/soccer right up to the top of folks' awareness at a time it might otherwise not be. EA has another reason to get you thinking about soccer, though, releasing today an all-new video for FIFA Street in which the developers discuss the various game modes. FIFA Street brings an urban, somewhat-grungy feel to the refined sport of soccer, which may ultimately make the game more appealing to gamers who wouldn't otherwise pay attention. You can watch the video below to learn …

Nintendo Gets a New Spokesman — Sort Of

February 8, 2012 By Sara Leave a Comment

Nintendo's had several "pseudo-official" public faces over the years, highlighted of course by Shigeru Miyamoto and Mario, but for the month of February, Nintendo's marketing team has pulled an arguably weird stunt by making a dog the company's public face. That's because February is Responsible Pet Owners Month, you see. As if that justifies the decision.... Today, Nintendo of America announced it's teaming up with Uggie, the Jack Russell terrier "co-star" of The Artist, who will act as Nintendo’'s "spokesdog," spreading the word about …

Zen Pinball 3D Review

January 15, 2012 By Jeff Paramchuk Leave a Comment

Zen Studios is slowing creeping onto each and every platform possible, and making a pinball splash each time. The latest is a Nintendo 3DS eShop release of Zen Pinball 3D, which came out Jan 12 in North America. Featuring four tables, all of which are available on the standard Zen Pinball release (and two on Pinball FX2) this move to 3D is a little superfluous but yet still is a very nice addition to the genre. Plus, being an eShop release means you don’t need to lug around another cartridge to get your pinball fix. The tables included are …

Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure Review

December 22, 2011 By Jonas Allen 2 Comments

I’ve been struggling for a while now to post my Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure review, because I’ve honestly had trouble putting the darn thing down. The overall concept is the most unique technological concept to come out of the game industry in 2011: the family-friendly action RPG uses real-world toys with embedded memory chips to track each character’s upgrades, and players can swap out their on-screen character with a new one at any time simply by placing a new toy on the Portal of Power accessory. Players can even take their toy(s) …

Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword Review

November 27, 2011 By Jeff Paramchuk 1 Comment

Nintendo has the market cornered on long living video game characters, and in celebration of The Legend of Zelda’s 25th year they’ve released another excellent LoZ title with Skyward Sword. A large amount of fan service is done with this title, as it’s clearly placed before the other most loved title by fans, Ocarina of Time (I still much prefer Wind Waker,) and helps shed some light into the origins of the Master Sword. Interestingly enough, series mainstay Gannon(dorf) is no where to be found, and entirely new set of dangers awaits …
