SSX: First Descent and SSX: Deadly Descent might just be the next new SSX titles out there.
Fans of the downhill snowboarding genre or SSX in particular will be delighted to know EA has been busy registering domain names relating to the SSX series.
For people just picking up PokePark on the Wii, Nintendo of America Tweeted a code to unlock a snowboard for Pikachu.
This was just posted on the Nintendo of America Twitter page regarding PokePark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure, one of the first Wii Pokemon games that is not based on stadium battle:
Fans of old-school Capcom games will be delighted.
With a rough target of "this Winter," Capcom has announced it will be bringing six arcade titles to North America and Europe.
Bowling doesn't translate well into a videogame.
The sport of bowling is a social game, often played with friends when knocking back a few beers. It's a great alternative to an evening movie if there's nothing good playing at the local theater, though the enjoyment of it is mostly dependent on the group. The experience just can't be replicated in a bowling videogame.
Harmonix has officially left the Guitar Hero series in the dust.
Harmonix continues to impress with their latest mainline entry of the Rock Band series. Rather than revolutionizing the genre through complete and total change, they have managed to keep the same general structure while adding the brand new Pro mode that brings players closer than ever to truly playing the instrument they are emulating. As a matter of fact, if players choose to take on the Expert variant of Pro mode, they will actually be truly playing the exact notes that comprise the song. Couple this with keyboard support and an eclectic set list and you have the best rhythm game available on the market.
The pitch. Swing and a miss.
Konami always tried really hard with their sports games, but they generally ended up as mediocre efforts. Bottom of the 9th is no different. Not only does it have little to offer, but the basic gameplay isn't solid; the interface is a tad confusing; and the presentation is a mess of bland graphics and incessant commentary. Quite a few baseball games were released onto the Nintendo 64 over the years, and this one is no doubt the bottom of the barrel.
I hate to say it, but Telephantasm is the best part of the whole package.
At this point, the Guitar Hero series has undoubtedly overstayed its welcome. While the series saw some definite innovation in its transition from 3 to World Tour, and moderately so from World Tour to 5, Warriors of Rock brings almost nothing to the table. Sure there's a new track list and they added the mediocre Quest Mode, but the only thing that truly stands out is the Quickplay + Mode that began in the last iteration of the series.
What does it take to be a hero? An endless supply of bombs pulled out of thin air, oddly enough.
As if Hudson finally came to a decision, Bomberman Hero is a full-blown platformer featuring the iconic white bomb dispenser. Playing the role of intrepid hero, Bomberman must blast, bomb, and explode his way across five planets with a dozen or more stages each, to rescue Princess Millian from the evil clutches of Bagular and his minions. It lacks the traditional multiplayer battle mode found in most Bomberman titles, which will likely disappoint many fans of the series.
