This game was a triumph. I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS. It's hard not to overstate my satisfaction.
Back nearly four years ago, if you had asked me about Portal, I would have merely shrugged. It wasn’t that the game concept didn’t seem interesting, it was really the fact that I had two generations worth of games to catch up on and, more importantly, it was on the computer.

Can Nintendo’s anthropomorphic wingmen make a comeback? Sure they can. The question is who will make it possible.
What the hell happened to Star Fox? Despite Nintendo being famous for developing and publishing high quality games, the Star Fox series has taken a nosedive. I loved both Star Fox on the SNES, its unreleased sequel for the same system and Star Fox 64, one of the best Nintendo 64 games ever.
A stunning masterpiece that has proven itself time after time.
So. Chrono Trigger. It’s kind of famous. The game has been released on the SNES, PS1, DS, and now the Wii Virtual Console. I’ve never even heard of someone who’s played this game and doesn’t love it.
This week sees the release of an all-time RPG classic on the Virtual Console, and not much else.
This week from Nintendo you have the option to either pretend to fish, play a word search, lead a pack of meerkats or dance along with a bunch of monsters.
Expect to see songs from N.E.R.D., Fergie, and Snow.
Harmonix has revealed that a trio of new songs will be available on Xbox Live for Dance Central beginning tomorrow. Each song will cost 240 Microsoft Points ($3).
The upcoming PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 action-adventure game from Atlus wants to know.
Gamers who only own a Wii can even do better than this at this point.
Utter mediocrity. There’s no better way to describe High Voltage’s second Conduit title. It’s almost unfortunate for the team, really. Had this been a year ago, mediocrity of this sort could’ve crushed something like Red Steel 2, given the complete dearth of competent Wii shooters. However, after the release of GoldenEye and Black Ops, Conduit 2 doesn’t shine so brightly. Things get even worse when you start pitting it against shooters on other consoles, like the recently released Killzone 3. In any case, Conduit 2 feels very much like an imitator of modern shooters – an imitator that doesn’t really grasp what makes all of those other shooters so great. Though a valiant effort, the end result is somewhat akin to Valve’s Half Life 2, without the big thrills, surprises, and competent enemies.
This week brings a special edition of PixlTalk.
As you can plainly see, PixlBit 2.0 is now alive and well. To celebrate its launch, we went on podcasting overdrive last week, producing three distinct episodes, each of which feature different members from the PixlBit staff.
