GoldenEye 007: Reloaded launch trailer is downright classy

Posted on October 30, 2011 by Nicole Kline

James Bond doesn’t need a parachute, as he’ll show you in this trailer for GoldenEye 007: Reloaded, which launches this Tuesday, November 1, for the PS3 and Xbox 360. I am loving the remix of the classic Bond music, as well as Daniel Craig’s sexy voice. Keep it coming, Activision.

Daily Scoop: October 26, 2011 – Improper Dancing!

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Nicole Kline

Whew! I missed the scoop yesterday – all that was really up was Call of Duty: Black Ops on sale for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Activision seems to be having crazy CoD sales – I’m assuming in preparation for Modern Warfare 3. Whatever. Tonight is Electric Six at Johnny Brenda’s, which means I’m going to be doing a lot of improper dancing in the middle of the street with my friends! Somebody better notify the chief of police…

Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games today is Bethesda’s Fallout 3 Collector’s Edition for the PC. It’s just $25.99 today, and comes with that adorable lunch box. Scoop it up!

T-shirt wise, there’s nothing related to video games, but I bought today’s Ript the second I saw it: (more…)

When I think about you, I Touch My Katamari

Posted on October 24, 2011 by Nicole Kline

No, Internet. I’m not trying to get fresh with you. I’m just making a little joke about the title of the latest game in the Katamari series. It’ll be a Vita launch title (YAY!) and it’s called Touch My Katamari. That part is not a joke.

Namco Bandai announced their Vita launch titles, each of which will be ready the same day the Vita launches – February 22, 2012. The three games are Touch My Katamari, Ridge Racer, and Shinobido 2: Revenge of Zen.

Here’s what Namco Bandai had to say about Touch My Katamari:

In Touch My Katamari, the ever-growing ball of bits and bobs is controlled by touching the screen or using both analog control sticks to roll it in any direction. A completely new Katamari gameplay feature allows players to use the rear touch panel of the PlayStation Vita system to stretch the ball either horizontally or vertically to pick up more objects at once or squeeze through a narrow gap. With many more details yet to be revealed, the Prince is already limbering up in the wings to bring a dose of irresistible Katamari oddness to the PS Vita.

Carlson Choi, Vice President of Marketing at Namco Bandai Games America, also refers to the new Katamari title as “irreverent.” I am shaking with anticipation right now. Hit the jump for the full descriptions of Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidge Racer and Shinobido 2: Revenge of Zen. (more…)

Hulu Plus coming to 3DS, Wii; more features announced for 3DS

Posted on October 24, 2011 by Nicole Kline

Nintendo has made a big, if unsurprising, announcement: Hulu Plus is coming to the 3DS and the Wii. Hulu Plus – which costs $7.99 a month – is host to dozens of current and popular seasons of television shows from all the major channels.

In addition, Nintendo also announced some major additions to the 3DS. 3DS owners will now be able to record up to 10 minutes of 3D videos, opening up venues for all manner of creative endeavors – including 3D stop-motion animation videos. There are also new musical artists coming to Nintendo Video, including Foster the People’s “Don’t Stop (Color on the Walls),” as well as a new animated 3D video from Dreamworks called “Thriller” which features characters from Shrek. New puzzles will also be available in the Mii Plaza, and a new dungeon added to Find Mii.

Reggie Fils-Aime, President of Nintendo of America, said, “Nintendo 3DS continues to evolve with great new features and functions designed to reinforce its position as a premiere entertainment device. All of these features, in addition to great upcoming games like Pokémon Rumble Blast on October 24, Super Mario 3D Land on November 13 and Mario Kart 7 on December 4, make Nintendo 3DS a smart gift option this holiday season.”

Still want more? Nintendo also announced four new games – Freakyforms, Pushmo, Swapnote, and Dillon’s Rolling Western. The system update to the 3DS will be happening at the end of November, and Hulu Plus will be coming “soon.” Hit the jump for a complete description of the four new games. (more…)
