Super Smash Bros Update #70: Gliding

Characters like Pit, Meta Knight and the Pokémon Trainer’s Charizard are envied at first glance for their wings. Rumour has it they can use those wings to sail through the sky like gliders. But that can’t be true, can it? They… They’re really flying! Magnificent! From the perspective of the rules of Smash, I sense [...]

WiiNintendo’s first 10 min. of Brunswick Bowling

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbZ77z-zn88[/youtube] In short (real short), it’s no Wii Sports.  I played a good hour and it just doesn’t control like Wii Bowling.  You don’t get the 1 to 1 feeling you do with Wii Sports.  Basically, you swing your arm back and let go.  Spinning the wiimote or swinging it harder had little to no [...]

Wii Remote Keyring With ONM

Wii Remote Keyring With ONM

This issue, Official Nintendo Magazine (UK) gave away a Wiimote keyring as a free gift, along with a Sonic Rush Adventure mini poster and stickers.

Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground Tracklist Revealed

Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground Tracklist Revealed

It’s thematic to the point of saturation, but it undoubtedly enhanced the film (for me at least). Soundtracks can sometimes make or break a movie, as well as a game. EA’s contributed to [...]
