It’s the new year and what a year it’s going to be for gaming! The excitement starts this month and hopefully the momentum carries us through the year. Let’s get to the list:
Week of January 4th
Bayonetta- I’m torn on Bayonetta. On one hand, it looks beautiful and wicked stylish. On the other hand, I’ve never [...]
Is it worth a look even for Van Halen fans?

On a whim last week, we purchased Wii Sports Resort and an extra Wii MotionPlus controller. Due to some family commitments, we didn’t crack it open until this last Tuesday.
Our Wii has not been off since.

Here’s something new at buttonmashing: a press release. Why is this a big deal here? 1) We like Dead Rising. 2) It’s now officially announced for North America.
It’s not really anything new we’ve already posted except the mention that it’s using the same engine as RE4 and the save function is “improved.” Here’s hoping the [...]

Here we go (with commentary):
A new title, Dead Rising: Zombie Sacrifice (A new name is not necessarily needed, but…)
Missions from Otis are no more (heck, yes! Best change yet.)
Linear missions (yes, good)
RE4 camera style (uh, I don’t think it was needed)
No photo mode (Thank you, although Frank is a photographer, I felt taking snapshots was [...]

A site I used to frequent more than daily recently posted the June NPD numbers. The number aren’t what I’m really interested in (i.e. Nintendo prints money). However, the comments on that post chafe me just a little.
It seems as if hardcore gamers cannot accept the fact that there has been a paradigm shift in [...]
It now looks like you’ll actually get to swing that sledgehammer. Capcom announced Dead Rising for the Wii in Japan.
Considering the game kinda bombed in Japan, I would not be surprised to see it in the States. I would also not be surprised to see it budget priced.
Thank you, 4cr, for keeping your eyes peeled [...]

It’s that time again. What does the month of July hold?
Week of July 2nd
Gears of War (2-Disc Edition) – If you happen to one of the seven people who don’t own Gears of War, here’s your chance.
Week of July 9th
Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution – If you want to fry your 360 from overuse, do it [...]
Today, during the Super Mario Galaxy show (for the munchkins), I defeated Bowser for the seven hundredth time in my life, saving the Princess yet again (from herself). I haven’t “finished” SMG yet, as there are plenty of stars still to be had, but the Princess is safe, at least for the time being. I [...]
Once again, I missed a month of new releases. What better way to make it up than to get out June’s releases a day early!
Week of June 3rd
Ninja Gaiden II – Man, I’m torn on this one. I’ve heard mixed reviews so far and I’m not really one for punishingly hard games, so this may [...]
