Goods news, zombie hunters! Resident Evil The Darkside Chronicles is available for the Wii today in the US / (Australia will be able to get their hands on it next week .. hopefully if the ship bring it down doesn’t get hijacked by pirates in Age of Booty). Also after a long wait, the co-op, online, arcade-shooter zombie massacre is yours for the en-blastenating. MasterAbbott will be doing a review once its out here in Australia. But if you feel the urge to pick up the game — and who wouldn’t and you live in the US — you might want to consider ordering from the Capcom eStore and getting a groovy RPD shirt with your game. Remember Wii games are region coded so if you order from the Capcom store the game will be NTSC format (suitable for most parts of asia and US)
If you have Resident Evil – The Darkside Chronicles already let us know what you think of it !!
New Super Mario Bros Wii Platform: Nintendo Wii Publisher: Nintendo Developer: Nintendo Release Date: November 15, 2009
It’sa MEEEE MasterAbbott.. errmm I mean MARIO !!!! – I’ve always wanted to say that 😉
Well MasterAbbott is back. This time to review New Super Mario Bros Wii for the Nintendo Wii. The video review goes through pretty much gameplay, features and multiplayer options within the game. Super Mario Bros is a classic style game that everyone who’s a gamer would have played at one point in their lives.
New Super Mario Bros Wii features a new 4 player option where you can embark on your journey to save Princess Peach (yes once again) together with your friends or family all on the same screen jumping, spinning, flying, throwing snow balls or swimming through the well designed and original levels and worlds. New Super Mario Bros Wii looks and feels like the classic Super Mario for the Super Nintendo, but goes that extra step and incorporates so many of the other features from the other Mario games. Mario can do all his moves spinning, super double jumps, bounce off walls, ground pound and many more as well as work together with his other team mates and cary them on his shoulers or lift them into the sky with his propella headsute. EVEN Yoshi makes his return to eat, spit and poop out goodies along the way.
New Super Mario Bros Wii is fun for the whole family. Check out the video below to give you a more fairer understanding on whats new and how it all looks.

Well yes .. its true .. someone is actually making a 8 bit NES Style version of Left 4 Dead. And that person is called Eric Ruth. Now I dont know about you guy’s but i’m a BIG BIG fan of 8-bit games. And I’ve noticed a lot more poping back up again lately. I say the more the merrier.
Now Eric describes the gameplay footage below gives you an idea of what the project looks like in action and how it plays. As you can see, it’s a standard top-down 4 directional action/shooter. Remade in the NES retro style, the resolution is at 256 x 240 and features 16 colors and a 4 sound channel soundtrack.
Check it out and have a read of some othe Q & A questions Eric has answered regarding the re-make
Q: Is this just an animation or an actual game? A: An actual game. It will be available for free download on PC around January 4th, 2010.
Q: I only see one “special infected.” Will there be more? A: Yes. All 5 special infected appear in this game regularly.
Q: How far along are you currently? A: As of November 15th, I am completed with the first “mission: No Mercy” as well as most of the core game play mechanics.
Q: Does Valve know about this? And would they approve? A: No, Valve doesn’t know about it yet, but I’m sure (with their love of community creations) that they will find this mildly amusing at worst, and hilarious at best.
Q: Will this version have all of the campaigns from the original game? A: Yes. All 5 maps of all 4 campaigns will be present in the final product.
Q: Like your other games, did you make this one all by yourself? A: With the exception of a few friends backing me up in the QA area, yes, the coding, debugging, sound effects, music and pixel art are all original work of Eric Ruth.
Q: Will there be more videos that show off more of the game? A: Maybe 1 or 2, but that’s about it. If you want to see every campaign and fight every zombie, then you will have to download and play it.

Keep an eye out for this around January the 4th. By the looks of it, its going to be FREE and for PC !! Ill see if I can get a hold of Eric and ask him some more questions.

Sydney, Australia (16th November 2009) – Square Enix Ltd., the publisher of Square Enix® interactive entertainment products in Europe and other PAL territories, announced today the highly anticipated street date for FINAL FANTASY® XIII. This latest project in the multi-platinum FINAL FANTASY series promises to be intensely compelling and will be available for both the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, on 9th March 2010.
FINAL FANTASY XIII marks the dawning of a new era for the celebrated series, bringing the series to multiple hi-definition consoles simultaneously for the first time in its history. Expanding upon the rich tradition of the series, producer Yoshinori Kitase (FINAL FANTASY VII, X, X-2), director Motomu Toriyama (FINAL FANTASY VII, X, X-2), character designer Tetsuya Nomura (FINAL FANTASY V, VI, VII, VIII, X) and art director Isamu Kamikokuryo (FINAL FANASY X, XII) combine their creative vision to deliver the latest masterpiece in the FINAL FANTASY universe. Additionally, Masashi Hamauzu (FINAL FANTASY X, DIRGE of CERBERUS -FINAL FANTASY VII-) presents a sweeping soundtrack while movie director Takeshi Nozue (FINAL FANTASY VII ADVENT CHILDREN) and his team of artists adorn the game with seamless cinematic sequences of unparalleled calibre.
“FINAL FANTASY XIII promises to be a huge event in the 2010 gaming calendar,” said Phil Rogers, president and chief executive officer of Square Enix Europe. “This is truly a landmark title, arriving simultaneously for multiple platforms for the first time in the history of the series. We are also immensely proud to be able to bring the game to the European and PAL audience much earlier than was publically anticipated.”
Multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter Leona Lewis has come on board with Square Enix to provide the theme song for FINAL FANTASY XIII. The song is entitled “My Hands,” and is featured on her highly-anticipated second album ECHO (J Records/Syco Music) set for release on November 16th. Leona Lewis took the music world by storm with her 2008 6x platinum debut album Spirit which features her chart topping, biggest selling single of 2008 “Bleeding Love,” and mega-hit “Better In Time.”
“When Square Enix approached Leona about including her song, “My Hands,” in FINAL FANTASY XIII, she was honoured to be partnered with such an iconic and groundbreaking video game series,” said Tom Corson, EVP/GM, RCA Music Group. “Leona is a natural fit with the game’s powerful themes and strong female protagonist. We’re delighted to be part of this effort, bringing great musical artistry to FINAL FANTASY XIII which is a riveting and dynamic gaming experience.”
Introducing new worlds, memorable characters and extraordinary stories with each new instalment, the FINAL FANTASY series has continued to reinvent itself over the last two decades and has shipped over 85 million copies worldwide. The series is defined by a constant evolution, offering nothing less than the finest creative vision, graphical quality and gameplay system of its generation with every instalment, and FINAL FANTASY XIII will be no exception to its legacy.
This will be EPIC and I personally cannot wait to get my hands on it.
