Wii Fit A Hard Buy

Good luck finding Wii Fit if you haven’t pre-ordered. With news that the exercise and fitness “game” from Nintendo is practically walking off the shelves in the UK as fast as they can be stocked (90 units per minute at Woolworths despite a hefty £70 price tag), North American gamers eager to get a shot […]

Rumor Mill: Motion Sensor Controller for Xbox 360?

The latest Xbox 360–related rumor is one that seems entirely possible. There’s been an MTV News Report  claiming that Microsoft is developing a wiimote-type controller for the Xbox 360.

The controller itself isn’t much different in functionality or design from Nintendo’s Wii remote, but comes with four face buttons, an analog stick and microphone. There are also […]

Sonic Unleashed Confirmed

Sega has officially confirmed Sonic Unleashed, which is kinda of anti-climactic being that so much of the game leaked out before the announcement. All the same, official confirmations of anything are always welcome because it gives us a chance to save our salt for other types of rumors.

Gaming Bling: Swarovski Wii

Impressive yes, oddly hideous? Also yes. Nintendo had asked a company called Crystal Icing, who will essentially cover almost any object with Swarovski crystals, to create a couple of blingin’ Wii to give away to the winners of the Super Smash Bros. Brawl Competition. The result?

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith

The first band specific title for the phenomenon that is Guitar Hero has been announced, and the band is … Aerosmith. And there is a chorus of boos and cheers from the audience. Personally, I love Aerosmith, but releasing a band-specific anything is kind of risky. I suppose that if you’re absolutely set on going […]
