No…it’s not as fun as the video game. That doesn’t mean that there’s a lack of appeal, there’s just not much. This is more for the Donkey Kong fan that likes to collect all things Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong could have made a fun board game, but this appears to be nothing more than a quick cash-in.

A portion of a PALGN review…
The beauty and strength of this game lies in the Beatles’ songs themselves. Games try so hard and fail so often to make an emotional connection with the player, but in the case of Beatles Rock Band, that connection will already be there for most people who play it.

2K Sports is taking a unique approach to their online advertising for NHL 2K10 on Wii. It’s definitely unlike any other advertising I’ve seen for a sports game on Wii. Now remember, just being different doesn’t mean that it’s good!

As I’m writing this, a commercial for the upcoming movie Zombieland is playing in the background. There’s no doubt that the public is hugely obsessed with zombies right now, and this is something that game developers have been taking advantage of for years. With all the titles available, have developers hit on the perfect zombie game yet? If you don’t think so, perhaps some of these ideas might push things in the right direction.
