Logan=Wolverine

The newest release from Activision is here, and it is starring good old Wolverine. Not many people were sure about how successful this game would be, but reviews are in, and people really liked it. It is rated M for Mature, and it is only one player but it comes to as close to the actual character as possible. There is a lot of fighting, blood, and shiny claws. Sounds like Wolverine to me. Reviews said the game was a good time and "Players will be pouncing on enemies, removing limbs and performing a variety of awesome looking moves from beginning to end." If that's your kind of game...go for it! The game is out for PS3 and Xbox 360. Get yours now!

Soul Calibur for PSP!


The newest installment of the legendary Soul Calibur is here, and its for the PSP. The new portable version is called Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny and the new game features new game modes, 30+ characters, new stages, character customization, and easy gaming on the PSP. This new version will be great for those who love to play the game away from their televisions, especially because it has all the new characters and new levels. The characters the original one had were already some favorites. This game is yet to be released but it looks very promising!

Fight! Fight! Fight!


Back to talking about best sellers! Right now at the top of the list is UFC 2009 Undisputed. This game is all about the mixed martial arts that is so popular right now. There are several characters to choose from and you get to fight all of them to get to the championship. The graphics are realistic and moves are consistent with what is really seen in UFC fighting. Fans who love watching the sport gave different reviews and most enjoyed the game very much. UFC 2009 is the very first mixed martial arts game released since 2004. It also features real fighters like Mauricio Rua and Chuck Liddell. The game is set to release May 19th, 2009 for both Xbox 360 and PS3. My copy is on its way.

Punch Out!!!


So I gave a list of new releases a couple of days ago, and I wanted to talk about one of the games on that last. Its Punch Out!! for the Wii and it is based on their first version of the game on the classic Nintendo. The gameplay is very much like the old version-- "you can attack your opponent with body blows to the left or right, or high jabs to the head in either direction too. You can dodge either way to evade your foe's attacks, and duck down to make his swings hit nothing but the air over your head." All the movements are also controlled the same way, so it would be better to play this game on the Wii with the classic controller. Its really cool how much this newly released Wii game is like the very first arcade version of Punch Out! So if you were a fan then, you will be satisfied with the new one! Available Now.

Zombies Attack!

I wanted to talk about a newly released game. Its called Zombie Wranglers! The game is clearly for a younger group, so its very far from zombie games like Resident Evil. It has bright colors, fun levels, and child like weapons to get rid of the zombies. It really looks like fun but it did disappoint those zombie lovers who wanted something more like Left 4 Dead (big success)! There are different levels where you choose a character, all which are children...Then you try and wrangle the zombies while finding money and hidden prizes all around the level. The game is more fun when playing co-op and they also offer a multi player option on Xbox live. Though this may sound great, we should leave this game to the kiddies :)

Sonic-X


Crazy story! So a 6 year old from Norway named Christer decided he was sick and tired of his name so he wanted to change it to Sonic X. They don't know why he wanted to add the X part to it, but that was his demand. He wrote a letter to the Norwegian King requesting a name change and the king replied! He said that unfortunately he couldn't change the child's name. Not because it was a ridiculous request, but because he was not old enough to make that request. The child was sad but said he would contact the King again in 12 years. True story. Look it up!

More Spinning!

So going back to the DJ thing. Just found out some juicy news! Looks like Guitar Hero developers who recently brought up DJ Hero, aren't the only ones ready to turn some tables! Ha. Sorry...Anyway, Cloud 9 has been talking about developing their own DJ Game for the Wii, and it is said to be based on DJ champ Armin van Buuren who is going to help develop the game. It is supposed to be based on his trance music tracks. Looks like a DJ competition is on!

Likey?
