| Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles makes headway, shoots into million homes | |
| Posted: 04.03.2008 10:31 by | |
That's right, Capcom's favorite franchise of zombie killing, corporation hating and playing as some sort of policing unit has another hit. While it isn't remarkable that it happened on the Wii, with it being still hard to find after almost a year and a half after release, but that it happened with a rail shooter that was rated M or 17+. It is one of the few rail shooters on the console and there are surely enough adults, and children posing as adults or simply buying it online using their parent's credit cards to sell a million copies of the game. It landed a respectable 76/100 average from Metacritic, and it is generally a fun title to play with a friend. So why not. Give Capcom a hand for a job well done. Now get done with the Resident Evil 5 so we can snatch up a few million. | |
| Rock Band success could mean a $208.7 million bonus to Harmonix | |

Under the terms of the company’s acquisition in 2006, Viacom apparently offered an additional incentive which would see them get extra cash dependent upon the success of Rock Band. Still this might not be the end with a final offer being made in 2009 once Rock Bands performance through the rest of 2008 is tallied. | |

| Browser-based fantasy RPG 'Warrior Quest' from NextGenBooks | |
| Posted: 03.03.2008 06:27 by Jamie | |
A free to play card based RPG that works inside the browser window, NGB say it’s also able to run through the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 3 with a PSP version coming soon this March.
They plan to update the game with new content and battle cards including a new story mode with further updates expected monthly until the end of the year. Unlikely to have other titles quaking in their boots any time soon but at least it’s free I guess. | |
| On your marks, set ...eat! Speed-eating for May US WiiWare launch | |
| Posted: 03.03.2008 05:59 by Jamie | |
Mastiff Games brings us a face stuffin frenzy, all in a bid to out-chomp your opponents. Major League Eaters: The Game will be available through WiiWare in the US in May; with no European date set for the homebrew initiative only American gamers will get to plug their yaps, virtually of course.
Belching and mustard gas (I assume the non-lethal, non-DNA damaging kind) are to be the new time honoured distractions to be used in slowing your competitors down. | |
| The Wii FreeLoader: liberator of regions, crusader of impatience | |
| Posted: 29.02.2008 06:39 by Jamie | |
For those looking to free your Wii (the console) from the tyranny of region specific formatting then the FreeLoader is for you. Pop in the disc, load, then insert any Wii or GameCube game no matter the region and you'll be enjoying those imports in no time.
As Datel's Wii FreeLoader doesn't require modification of the console there's no invalidation of the warranty. It's 100% unofficial so don't be expecting any support from Nintendo. | |
