A review of Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon Review from 1up: I've been keeping my eyes open for Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon ever since its demo at Tokyo Game Show in 2008. Something about this Wii game's beautiful environments and enchanting premise really captured my imagination. You play as Seto, a 15-year-old boy who's all alone in a post-apocalyptic world until he sets off in search for other survivors like himself. The world is quiet and moody, filled with dilapidated ruins, abandoned trash, a...

A review of Bottling Lightning: Recording the Music of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 from 1up: Bottling Lightning: Recording the Music of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Bad Company 2's audio team tells us how music can bloom on a Battlefield. By Alex Van Zelfden While it may not be too unfair to picture game development as a dreary building full of people hunched in front of computer monitors for months on end, the industry certainly has plenty of appealing aspects as well. Obviously weapon demonstrations are a blast; motion capture sessio...

A review of Wideload's Guilty Party: Showing That Not All Wii Party Games Are Crappy Minigame Collections from 1up: When you first hear Guilty Party's premise, you'll probably think of the classic board game Clue. It's a turn-based adventure where you piece together clues to figure out who committed some dastardly deed. The cast of selectable characters runs the gamut of pulp mystery clichés: the hard-boiled detective, sassy FBI agent, boy wonder, nosy grandmother, '70s undercover cop, and precocious teen girl. And trying ...

Miyamoto says the game will be for more experienced gamers.

Are you an experienced gamer? Are you afraid that with Nintendo’s newfound audience (the casual crowd) that suddenly your “Zeldas”, “Metroids”, and “Marios” will become watered-down drivel? With Metroid’s pairing with Team Ninja, and the words of Shigeru Miyamoto telling us that Zelda will be more of the same, there is nothing to fear there. What about Mario? Will Mario Galaxy 2 be too easy? Well if you read the article’s title and/or sub-heading, then you already know the answer. No.

Shigeru Miyamoto recently talked to Nintendo Power about this issue, and he spoke about creating a game that catered to both audiences, but seemed to infer that the game would tend to lean towards the more experienced crowd. “I do believe that there is a lot here to appeal to the more veteran and more experienced gamers, and I think it’s a title that they will obviously enjoy,” Miyamoto would go on to say.

 

Miyamoto also brought up how the game will not be so intensely difficult that newcomers cannot play it, but his main point that he gets across is that Mario Galaxy 2 is going to be made with the idea that players have played through the original Mario Galaxy first. “…we also built it with consideration that we believe that people who played through the first Mario Galaxy have become better players.”

 

I don’t know about you guys, but playing through some levels on Mario Galaxy were pretty ridiculous (collecting Purple Coins in Toy Time Galaxy anyone?). This can only bode well for those who like a challenge.

Overlord is one of those games that should be brilliant. Back in the 90’s Dungeon Keeper was a fantastic game for the PC as you got to play at being evil for a change, rather than the hero trying to save the world, which is exactly what Overlord has you doing. Couple that with some [...]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is like the majority of other movie based games.  It has potential and it could have been something very cool, however, it was just made as a tie in for the movie, nothing more.  The entire game is bland and uninspired.  It feels like the developers came up with an [...]

The Conduit (Wii)
It’s pretty, it controls well, and it’s a mature FPS on the Wii, but does it have the gameplay chops?
