Dead Space Extraction is an underrated gem–an interactive movie for the Wii. I’ve jumped more than a few times. It’s amazing what some developers can squeeze out of the console. One of the best games I’ve played on the system. I had feelings of watching Aliens for the first time.

Wii MotionPlus is A…Plus
August 7th, 2009 · 5 Comments · Gaming
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.

Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop
July 22nd, 2008 · No Comments · Gaming
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 [...]

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, [...]

Give It Up, Hardcore Gamers
July 18th, 2008 · 9 Comments · Gaming
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 [...]
I’ve done Wiis, you know

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 [...]

Magic Mushrooms and Tanooki Suits

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 [...]
