A feature on Mario's Super Inferno (Super Mario Galaxy 2) from Games Radar: Screw the haters! The Dante's Inferno Super Bowl ad was the greatest marketing move of all time. Of course, most of that had to do with the sweet serenade provided by Soul Deity, Bill Withers! So why the hell wouldn’t it work for Mario? ... Go to Source ...

A feature on Gaming's famous moustached men: shaved (Super Mario Galaxy) from Games Radar: What links all great men through history? The insatiable pursuit of power? An unwillingness to compromise? Snappy dress sense? Nah, it’s a good old tache, of course. Inspired by the recent clean shaven antics of Final Fantasy big cheese Hironobu Sakaguchi and Adolf Hitler, we’ve decided to shave the soup strainers off some of our favourite games characters.Warning: the following images may shock and appal ...

A feature on Zelda cosplay goes high fashion (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Virtual Console) from Games Radar: Sometimes cosplay can be embarassing and degrading to the person involved. Thcostume is a pale imitation, their 'helmet' is made out of tinfoil and teaspoons, their make up drawn on by a blindfolded gibbon. But not always. Some cosplay is incredible. It's like a game character has crawled out of the TV screen and inhabited the REAL WORLD.  Like this downright classy, high-fashion Zelda cosplay... ... Go to Source ...

A feature on TV ads that steal from games (Super Mario Galaxy) from Games Radar: So there we are on a Tuesday evening, watching the TV, when the commercial break comes on. Advert for Insurance. Advert for baby milk. Advert for some shit movie we're never going to watch. Advert for cheaper gas. Advert for... hang on a sec. That advert for gas was a rip off of the Super Mario Galaxy planets! That's what started it off. And now we've spotted a bunch of other ads which robbed from games. ... Go to Source ...

Much of the interview has to do with Overlord II, but some of it does relate to the Wii and DS versions

Sounds like we are in the homestretch with this one. Lord knows we’ve been waiting long enough! I sure hope you’ve set aside some Nintendo Points for this one.

A portion of a GameFlavor interview with Paul Van Dyke…

GameFlavor: How did you get involved with licensing music for games? What has the process been like for you?

PVD: Well, normally the licensing goes through the publisher or the record label, and I’ve had some of my tracks licensed that way for games in the past. This time I’m working directly within the gaming industry, alongside EA as an original composer for their upcoming Grand Slam Tennis game. Essentially I am creating the soundtrack for different parts of the game, and this was my first direct involvement in making music for a game.

It was a very interesting experience, because I had to create the main themes for events like the US Open and so on. I was surprised at the amount of creative freedom that they game me, so at first I was like, “Which direction do you want me to go with it?”. They told me just to be creative, to do what I felt like. So, for example with the Wimbledon event, I ended up going with a drum and bass theme, but at the same time adding a lush, beautiful summer thing to it because that is when Wimbledon happens.

A portion of a Giant Bomb review…

Maybe if Starfy had been around in the Western market for years and engendered the same sort of nostalgia that we older gamers feel for franchises like Mario, I’d be more forgiving of this game’s simplistic nature–but as a newcomer to the series, I found myself wanting for a platformer with a little more meat on its bones.

Tokyo Beat Down makes me very sad. The writing in the game is top-notch as far as humor goes, but the gameplay is pretty damn boring. I love beat’em-ups, but you and I both know that there are good and bad entries in the genre. I couldn’t tell you what makes certain beat’em-ups ‘click’, but Tokyo Beat Down just don’t have it. If only the localization talents could have been better used somewhere else.
