New Info on Bust A Move Bash

Majesco seems to be really taking advantage of the Wiimote controller with the latest installment of "Bust A Move Bash". Here are some of the features of the latest title:

*Four Game Modes, including Puzzle, Vs., Endless, and the new Shooting Mode
*Vs. Mode supports up to 8 players simultaneously(WOW)
*500 levels in Puzzle Mode
*10 different characters, including the ever lovable Bub and Bob, plus many more

If that wasn't enough, here are some of the latest screen shots! This game looks like a lot of fun. I'm hoping it will be a nice compliment to Wario Ware: Smooth Moves.

Movie to Avoid

This has been out for a little over a month I think. I just finished watching "Crank" and have to say I am really disappointed. I expected maybe too much from a Jason Statham flick. I loved "The Transporter" flicks, and of course hope there is another one. I always thought he could have been a good James Bond. But back on topic. Avoid this movie. It's tries to live up to so many expectations and I felt cheated in the end.

New Cooking Mamma Cook Off Screen Shots

We just got these new screen shots for the upcomming game "Cooking Mamma Cook Off" for the Wii. They keep looking better and better. Tell us what you think.

God of War Beaten

Ok, I know what you are going to say. "Dude, the game is two years old, and NOW you're ddone with it?" Well yeah I'm a little behind on my gaming but hey, I'm proud of myself. The rewards are just as sweet. When you beat the game there are a bunch of unlocked videos about the making and about the game. If that wasn't enough it unlocks "God Mode" which I'm sure is no walk in the park. But if you beat the game in God Mode than you unlock even more to quote them "secret" stuff. So now I think the next game is going to be Final Fantasy XII or Marvel Ultimate Alliance. What to do, it's crazy.

Warhammer Press Conference

We were invited to a call in media press conference to discuss "Warhammer Online Empire", which is a brand new MMO coming out this year, we had the opportunity to talk with the folks from EA Mythic. This is going to be a great game, this could be the "World of Warcraft" killer.

Old School

So we talk a lot about games on the show and articles that we post. But I feel that movies, and music also play a part in small way. Movies and music give game developers the ideas that we see when we play the latest Grand Theft Auto or Halo. These two things, music and movies influence the way we play and interpret games.

So anyway I DVR'd "Old School" during the Super Bowl, well because I was watching my Chicago Bears getting nailed by the Colts(Next state over). As I was a part of the way through watching the movie the news station cut in with coverage and the only way to switch to the movie was going to their digital channel which is cable only and not sattelite.

But man this is a funny movie, it's a must rent if you want to laugh your ass off. But of course not for the kids.

Happy Valentines Day!!!

So I'm about 40 minutes to midnight as of this posting on the East coast. But it's 8:20 on the West coast. So there is time to say to everyone "Happy Valentine's Day". Make sure your significant other gets the gift of games!

Wii Play

So Wii Play is out in the U.S. How are you enjoying it. I was stupid and didn't pre-orer it, so I must wait until it comes in stock at my local gaming haven. Let me know how you are liking/disliking it.

A Perfect Reason to Stay Inside

This is the ultimate reason to stay inside, keep your hands warm around your favorite controller!

New Cooking Mama Screen Shots

This is the latest screen shots for "Cooking Mama Cook Off". If you are a fan of the DS version than looking at the screen shots for the Wii version should have you salivating for a second helping of gaming fun. The graphics look smooth and the implementation of the WiiMote looks REALLY promising. Let's get cooking!.

What Gives?

Ok, I am a HUGE "Legend of Zelda" fan, and after looking through the proposed virtual console release titles on Wikipedia, I have to say I'm a tad upset. Today Europe received a "Zelda: The Adventures of Link". Which was the sequel to the original one. This was the title that strayed totally away from the previous titles interface, and thus made it unique.

Well Europe got it today and here in the U.S. it's not even slated to come out. Ok, you're asking what do we have that they don't. Well they don't have "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past", but it is slated to come out Q1 2007.

So what gives Nintendo, show us some love. Keep the VC titles coming and don't be afraid to tell us whats coming out like on Friday or something to that measure.
