RealArcade, a long time contributor to casual PC gaming, is seeking to make a splash on Nintendo’s casual games sales monsters, the DS and the Wii. In Mortimer Beckett and the Secrets of the Spooky Manor, they port over one of their most popular online point and click adventures to the Wii successfully. Using only [...]

Based on an internet flash cartoon, Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People, a download-only game for PC and Wii, wants you to take the role of internet tough guy Strong Bad. An episodic adventure, the first piece (Homestar Ruiner) tells the story of Strong Bad’s misadventures through the land of Strongbadia, his self-appointed empire. [...]

Anybody who’s anybody would do nothing other than heap loads of flowery praise on Zack & Wiki. I wish I could be cool like that. Unfortunately, I hate this game. I think Zack & Wiki has managed to piss me off more than any other game I’ve played on Wii. So what’s the big deal? [...]

The handheld Zelda titles have always felt like their own separate line of games. With Phantom Hourglass, however, the gap has been lessened.

Following in the footsteps of Spider-Man 2, a surprise hit that essentially rewrote the standards for superhero videogaming, was never going to be an easy task, but New York’s spandex-wearing [...]

In fact, it’s better to expect nothing and be pleasantly surprised than to think the marriage of RPGs and platformers might be the best thing ever… and walk away disappointed. Super Paper Mario is different, that much is certain. It resembles the Paper Mario RPGs as much [...]

The Nintendo DS helps game developers make breakthrough games that are either new genres or re-inventions of past genres.
