Nitro is EA Montreal's re-envisioning of the Need For Speed franchise, and represents their first attempt at tailoring it specifically...

A brand new shirt from the creative mind behind the best Web comic on the Internets, Dr. McNinja , has recently released a new shirt that has nothing to do with the wonderful comic series. The new shirt is called the La Disputa del Cyborgio and spoofs a famous Christian painting that I have no idea what it's called but it looks like the shirt but with less cyborgs and robots. Stephen Hawking is Jesus,...
A fitness game that doesn't sit atop the UK Chart? Say it ain't so! Wii Fit Plus has not been enjoying the number one spot for the past few weeks, since soccer games kept shunting it down the chart. Fortunately for everybody, however, the balance has been restored, and Nintendo's fitness placebo has now taken its predictable position at the top of the UK Chart. Dragon Age: Origins was the biggest debut...

By Martin Bliss While I've enjoyed many video games through the course of my life, perhaps my favorite has been the new Mario Kart game for the Nintendo Wii. I can't seem to put this game down and it's been a year since I bought it. This is one of the easiest games to learn, but there's a challenging level of depth that pulls you in once you get to learn how to play. Its universal appeal is part of...

Until last week's episode of Community , we had sort of been on the fence about the newest addition to the Peacock's Thursday-night lineup. However, something magical happened during the Halloween episode and, for the first time since the show's debut, the characters finally seemed to leap off the written page and began resembling something closer to believable portrayals of actual human beings (as...
Wii (£34.99) / PSP (£29.99); cert 3+; Codemasters The first title from Codemasters since they obtained the Formula One license from Sony in 2008, and coded by Sumo Digital on Codemasters own EGO engine (of DiRt 2 fame), F1 2009 suffers from high expectations. This release is in some ways a taster for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, titled F1 2010 and due out next year, which will be much...
I started the evening sure I’d remember to catch Monsters of Folk on Jimmy Fallon, but all that was scrapped once one of my roommates came in drunk, wanting to play Mario Kart 64. I mean really, what kind of monster would you be to turn down a Mario Kart request'? But the performance was even [...]
Older gamers will have fond memories of Nintendo’s N64 console, which brought timeless game franchises such as Super Smash Brothers, Mario Kart 64, and GoldenEye to life. While the N64 passed its prime over two console generations ago, an iPhone App maker may just breathe some life into it by creating an N64 emulator for [...]
Thom Holwerda at OSnews proposed an interesting theory about why Nintendo saw a 52% profit drop in the first half of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Basically, he claims that with the Wii, Nintendo abandoned hardcore fans in order to capture the casual gamer crowd. However, as the novelty wears off and the casual crowd moves on to the next big thing, it's the hardcore fans that keep you...

We took an F1 car around Albert Park while in Melbourne, it wasnt the real one but it was still pretty good While Wii content was pretty thin on the ground at eGames—apart from Ubisoft’s offerings—Namco Bandai was there along with F1 2009 on the Wii, bonus F1 Steering Wheel and all. The steering wheel, which is shaped like a real F1 wheel (except the whole ’it’s white’...
I grew up playing Mario Kart, and really loved the game despite the fact that I was absolutely horrible at it. My strategy was to be so bad that I would distract my opponents, and then sneak attack a banana peel, but that never seemed to work out too well for me. I once slipped [...]
