According to this Famitsu scan, Tenchu 4 will be coming to the PSP afterall. Rumors abound last month about a possible port of Tenchu: Shadow Assassins (the official title in the US) proved to be true — the game will be released in Japan on February 12th of next year for 5,040 yen. Ubisoft’s US press release for the game issued back in September indicated the game will be exclusive to the Wii, so no one knows yet whether we’ll get the port here in the States. Check out the trailer in full post
How’s this for ingenuity? USA! USA! USA! In what can only be described as the ultimate in convergence devices, some guy on eBay is selling a Wii with a Nintendo 64 cartridge slot that actually plays real games. What’s most impressive, I suppose, is that the whole thing looks pretty natural with the slight exception of the side panel jutting outwards a bit to make room for the N64 controller port.
Take note, Nintendo: when you release Wii HD or whatever it’ll be called, please include a cartridge slot with various adapters for NES, Super NES, and N64 games.

A source close to Canadian developer Blue Castle Games has revealed to Eurogamer that the studio is making a sequel to Dead Rising for Capcom. You probably don’t know that developer at all, and we’d forgive you for that as they have only created one game in their lifetime - The Bigs.
They are also working on another title called MLB Front Office Manager, which is probably in development alongside Dead Rising 2. Hopefully they don’t get the two games mixed up, as zombies in baseball would be weird.

The first review of Gears of War 2 is in by EmpireOnline.com and what do you guys expect, they gave Gears a full 5/5 points. Amazing graphics, great sound, different variety of enemies and more gore and blood, everything one step ahead of it’s predecessor. Some points from review:
“Like the original GOW, though, the game’s greatest thrills are to be found online. New competitive and co-operative multiplayer challenges, and a variety of fresh battlegrounds, are only the beginning of GOW2’s communal treats, the most frantic being the new Horde option where you’re attacked by an ever-growing extraterrestrial army, ramping up the challenge until your head is spinning and trigger finger stiff as enemies swarm in from all corners of the screen.”

Brando (LABDEX listing: Beloved Crapware Vendor), has released a couple of shaking, shimmying maracas for the Wii, named the "Wii Samba DE Hammer ". They are, like most Wiimote accessories, just white plastic toys with Wiimote-shaped holes in them. This particular set also requires the nunchuck, and is designed to be used with Gearbox Software’s Samba De Amigo game. They cost $15. Given that this kind of Wii add-on requires little know-how other than some model-making skills, we thought we’d suggest a few home-made projects: |
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows immerse players in an all-new action-adventure saga that gives them unprecedented control, never before seen in a Spider-Man game. Armed throughout the battle and confronted by an unrecognizable New York City, players choose to play as a heroic web-slinger or a volatile, destructive anti-hero, fighting with or against a vast number of fan-favorite Marvel heroes and villains, switching instantly between sides, and deciding which missions to undertake to save mankind. An all-new combat system combines web slinging and customizable superpowers to give gamers the freedom to fight and explore in a free-roaming, open-ended environment. Battles blend Spider-Man’s speed and agility with the landscape, challenging players to master fast moving acrobatic combat, powerful new web-slinging moves and destructive combo attacks, as they take the fight from the streets, up the sides of buildings and onto rooftops.
Genre: Action
Also Available On: PlayStation 2, PC,Wii, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable,Nintendo DS
Release Date: October 21, 2008
MSRP: $59.99
Ah, the circle is completed. The GTA that we knew and fell in love with back in the ’90s is making a comeback in spirit with GTA: Chinatown Wars on the DS. Yes, the cel-shaded look is trendy but the isometric viewpoint and map/minigame screen are very suited to the DS (more natural than the Wii, apparently).
Somehow I doubt it will have the same level of ultraviolence that GTA and GTA II had (gouranga!), but the screens (here and here) are encouraging otherwise.
