The PixlBit staff shares their Wii launch day memories.
Even though there’s still plenty of excitement revolving around the launch of a new console, be it handheld or otherwise, it seems as though the days of week-long lines and potential riots have been all but killed off by the widespread use of pre-orders. Those launch line ups were quite the experience, but those early days were made even more memorable when the new hardware was unsealed and powered up for the first time. When the Wii Launched on November 19, 2006, nobody predicted it would be snapped up just as soon as it could be stocked on store shelves. We also weren’t sure what direction the innovative motion controls and classic Nintendo franchises would take us. To relive the elation and anticipation of the Wii Launch experience, some of the PixlBit crew thought it would be fun to share their own launch day memories. If you have some of your own, be sure to share them in the comments.
Kinect-powered destruction... free!
To celebrate 10 years of Xbox Live, Microsoft is offering members a freebie of their recently released title, Wreckateer. Using Kinect, Wreckateer encourages players to use their arsenal of special canon balls to destroy a set of medieval structures housing enemy goblins.
The PixlBit staff got together to talk about their excitement for the Wii U. Join Us!
With the Nintendo Wii U rapidly approaching, we here at PixlBit have been trying to give you the best coverage we can. You can find previews all over the net, but we wanted to do something a little special and with more personality than your average preview coverage. You can already find JD’s wonderful impressions from the New York Comic Con, as well as his hands on looks at Zombi U and The Wonderful 101. We’ll of course have plenty of reviews in the days and weeks following the launch of the system, but the PixlBit staff got together to talk about their feelings on the new machine, and what their launch plans are.

A unique concept that fails in execution.
Aside from ambitious, the only other word that can be used to describe Orgarhythm is disappointing. Given that Tak Hirai of Space Channel 5, Shenmue, and Meteos fame was behind the unique blend of action, strategy, and rhythm gameplay, I couldn’t help but be excited. However, the execution of these concepts simply doesn’t match up to the ambition of the idea.

Reminds me of rush hour in LA
This Sunday only, it's the cavalcade of carnage, the duke of demolition, the agonizing abolition of Destruction Derby 64! Twelve cars enter, only one emerges as champion! Witness the spectacular sights of vicious vehicular-crushing action, hear the grind of wreckage under wheels, smell the molten metal masses that remain! It's an all-out, anything goes, bone-shattering, nail-biting, no-holds-barred, punch-you-in-the-gut, edge-of-your-seat rock 'em sock 'em good time! Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!
