No doubt, I’ll be downloading this gem this evening.
Red Steel – a mini-review
In a Wii-related rant I posted last month, I trashed the Ubisoft launch title Red Steel. I referred to the game as “half-assed”. In all honesty, at that point, I hadn’t even touched the game. I was in no position to call it anything, really. So, when I signed up for a GamezNFlix membership, Red […]
Nintendo to use tin cans and a string for Wii online
I don’t know. I’m not sure what to think about this. LOS ANGELES –(Business Wire)– GameSpy, a unit of Fox Interactive Media, announced today that it will provide multiplayer technology to game publishers developing titles for Nintendo’s Wii(TM) video game system. As part of an ongoing partnership with Nintendo, GameSpy has developed middleware technology to […]
Giant game of RISK!
During the Super Bowl, while everyone else watched some football game, a bunch of us die-hard gamers got together and played a giant game of RISK. Rather than recount the entire sordid tale, I’ll just link to the Evil Avatar post I made about it. It has pictures! And a running commentary. Needless to say, […]

GigaGamez would like some (better) bloggers
The name still sucks, but maybe the content can rise above it by bringing in some fresh blood. Maybe with some new bloggers, they’ll actually talk about something other than Second Life. I’m not holding my breath.
Nintendo is its own worst enemy

Eurogamer site Games Industry has the current generation version of the same old story that’s been recanted every generation since the days of the Super NES: Nintendo is its own worst enemy. In part, it’s true, but in all honesty, part of this concept is […]
I want to be an analyst
They probably make good money guessing things that everybody already knows. From over at Evil Avatar, I noticed the story that some analyst has announced that PS3s are in stock, and the Wii is sold out everywhere! Really? I hadn’t noticed that. Oh, wait, yes I have. Everyone has. In fact, here’s a couple comparison […]
Our Wii experience is expanding
Our Wii game collection is up to four games, now. The Wii Sports pack-in remains the favorite of the entire family, but Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is what eats up all of my free time these days. I also managed to garner Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz for my wife for Christmas, which has […]
