  • News New Wii Zelda Won't Be Radically Different, Says Miyamoto

    Service as normal for Hyrule's favourite son, it would seem

    So there's an all-new Wii Zelda in the works - this much we know. We also know that Shigeru Miyamoto wants the game to showcase a more 'mature' Link (although the concept art we've seen doesn't suggest as much). Bearing on mind that Twilight Princess had its critics, you'd expect this...

  • News MadWorld Soundtrack Gets A North America Digital Release

    It'll burrow into your skull like a lamp post.

    One of my favorite parts about MadWorld was the soundtrack: stylized hip hop tunes that fit really well with the generally stylish carnage Jack would find himself in.

  • News Sega Not Giving Up On Mature Wii Titles Just Yet

    Recent retail disappointments haven't dented Sega's confidence

    As much as we loved Madworld and House of the Dead: Overkill, neither title sold particularly well, which has led many 'industry experts' to suggest that mature, hardcore games just can't find an audience on Nintendo's console. In the light of two high-profile commercial bombs you'd...

  • Review Let's Tap (Wii)

    Definitely a tap you'll want to leave running

    Miyamoto might not see the appeal in playing a game without holding a controller, but ex-Sega genius Yuji Naka can certainly think outside the box – or, more accurately, think on top of the box.

    Will Wii MotionPlus help EA land this golf franchise on the green, or is it just a sand trap for your wallet?
