Thor: God of Thunder (Wii)

/

"Here I stand with Wiimote in hand. I am THOR! *crackle*"

To be perfectly honest, the Wii version of Thor: God of Thunder looks better than the PS3 and Xbox 360 counterparts. The Wii trailer makes Thor look powerful, which he should be. The Next Gen trailers are less than stellar to say the least. I also heard that there won't be a lot of flailing involved in the Wii version but I'm sure they'll sink in a motion gimmick or two.

I've heard good things about the DS version too. I'll also be looking more into that version as well.

Of course it all comes down to gameplay in the end but this is a movie tie in game that I can say I'm looking forward to.

Weekend is over, what have you been playing?

"In case you were wondering, that's not us"

The weekend is over and I'm sure that it was the peak of gaming time for most of us. I spent my weekend over at my cousins' place and played a bunch of Wii games. Flailing and hilarity ensued for hours. I have also indulged in some more Pokemon White action as well as a bit off frantic dueling action in Dissidia 012 Duodecim.

What have you been playing this past Saturday and Sunday? Any interesting stories from your world saving adventures?

"The World's finest"

Random Gaming Post #10

What do you think it is that Mario sees when you take control of him? What exactly does a video game character see with their own eyes while you are forcing them to run about and jump on mushrooms with eyeballs? Well here's your answer.

River City Ransom 2 in the works

/

One of the all-time classics, especially in the beat-em-up genre, River City Ransom is getting a long belated sequel. 20 years in the making, River City Ransom 2 is being developed by Miracle Kidz, the studio which houses most of the original’s developers. The game is expected to release on console sometime this summer in Japan, with a PC release coming next year. No word yet on any game details or specific consoles, but another of Miracle Kidz retro-style games (Downtown Smash Dodgeball) is on the Xbox Live Arcade and Wii Ware, leading most to believe such platforms are equally likely for River City Ransom 2.
