Why wont they let us catch 'em all on WII?


In an interview with Pokemon's director Junichi Masuda and designer Takechi Kawachimaru on Whattheyplay.com, there are no current plans for either a Pokemon game on the Wii or a Pokemon MMO. For the most part, I can understand now desire to turn their franchise into an online game. Not everybody wants to be Marvel with World of Wolverines, but Pokemon has had ten years of almost identical gameplay. The gameplay has been a lot of fun and I've loved the series, but Pokemon Chrome (or whatever they call it) needs to change up the formula because the game is in desperate need for a change. Untill that happens, I'm gonna count my pennies and hope to get a copy of Platinum soom.

Bioshock: now with more shockers!

Bioshocks multiplayer has been all over the internet over the last day or so. Honestly, I couldn't care less because I don't play multiplayer (I just don't want to pay for gold); with that said, a co-op may be cool though. Cooperative play is easily one of gamings biggest current trends (ie. RE5, Halo 3, Army of Two, GoW2), and Bioshock was a brilliant game. If someone wants to join me in killing splicers while wandering through the wonder that is Rapture? Sure! If there's a deathmatch or something attached (which I'm sure there will be).... Well.... I'm sure the maps will be cool.

My Totilian responce.



Earlier today, Stephen Totilo posted a video about the lack of exclusives for Xbox 360 this year. Ultimatley, I agree with him. The list seems a little small, but I'm not sure what's coming out for the PS3 this year. The Wii's lineup is looking great though. What this means to me is that this will be a slower year for gaming--something I'm a little happy about. The last two years have been huge in gaming, and I need the time to catch up.
The lack of exclusives this year also means the start of new productions in 2010. Maybe next year we will see some new IP's. The only new title I played in 2008 was Mirror's Edge and I would love to see a new game with that engine. For now, I'm more than content playing The new Wii titles, while awaiting the collector's edition of Arkham Asylum.

Blockus Levitatus!


According to Joystiq, a LEGO Harry Potter may be on its way. For all of us that wish that Lego Batman were fighting bald guys other than Killer Crock this may be out best bet! I mean, other than that big guy in by the airplane in Lego Indiana Jones...

'Virtual On' X-box Live!

If there is one thing that's unbelievable awesome, it's giant fighting robots. Whether it's anime or....well... people parodying anime; giant robots are fun. And with that said, American X-box Live owners will be able to play the awesome game, Virtual On, sometime in spring 2009. This makes Virtual On the best X-box game with giant fighting robots. Sorry Front Mission, I'm just not into robots with stats..
