This Week in Games: May 10 – 16

Happy Mother’s Day – hope you are doing something special for the mom’s and wives out there! I am rather thrilled this week to put Sacred 2 for XBOX360 and PS3 as the cover image for two reasons: first Ascaron is having financial troubles so I was concerned that it wouldn’t release at all, and second because early reports indicate it is as good as I indicated in my review of the PC version for VGBlogger. Other than that there is Battlestations: Pacific and a bunch of games making their scond or third appearance on the list. Hopefully some of them (and also last week’s Jagged Alliance DS) will be released this week! Check out the list! more…
Game Review: Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures: Episode 2: The Last Resort (PC, Xbox LIVE)
Posted on May 9th, 2009 by
When Wallace and Gromit’s seaside holiday plans get rained out, they make the best of the situation by turning their flooded basement into an indoor beach resort and invite their neighborhood guests for a rainy day holiday. Little do they know that their resort is about to become the scene of a murder! Well, OK, it’s a family game, there is no murder! But someone does get bonked on the noggin for a bit of temporary amnesia, and it’s up to inventor Wallace to use his Detect-O-Matic (with a little help from his clue-sniffing pup Gromit), to solve the case and find out whodunit!
Adventures in Green Dining – Mother’s Day DS Lite
Posted on May 7th, 2009 by
Spring is in the air, and Nintendo has just released a new color of the DS Lite to match. When I first saw photos, the bright spring green color cried out to me (Half my wardrobe, and often my hair, is green.) Conveniently released a week before Mother’s Day, the new DS Lite comes with the Personal Trainer: Cooking cartridge and a nice floral patterned canvas carrying case. At first glance, it looks like a great Mother’s Day present for my wife, until I realized that it might come across as a glorified cookbook. I’ve been married long enough to know better than to get my wife a cookbook for Mother’s Day. Perhaps I have a better idea…
Happy “Mama’s” Day!
Posted on May 5th, 2009 by
In honor of Mother’s Day coming up this next weekend (you didn’t forget, did you?), I thought I’d do a blog about one of video games most famous mothers: Cooking (and now Gardening) Mama. Happy Mother’s Day! Let’s get cooking!
RIP Dom Deluise
Posted on May 5th, 2009 by
Dom Deluise died this morning in his sleep. I have to admit, I thought I was not a fan. I found him hammy. But reading the obits today made me sadder then I thought I would be. The man has appeared in far too many movies I adore than any character actor I like (and I like Westerns and Mob films). I remember him most from the beginning of the Muppet Movie. “Al-ey-gay-tors!” The above still is from his appearance on the Muppet Show. I also remembered “Smokey” and, of course, “Cannonball Run” (a movie I’m both glad and shocked hasn’t been revived by Bret Ratner or McG). If you were a kid in the 70’s (and it looks like 50’s and 60’s too) you remember Dom for being on TV all the time. His career began in 1954 and IMDB lists a cameo in a horror-comedy called Horrorween (sounds terrible). But that’s not the point. Dom was an affable, good-hearted, joyful, employed character actor.
Aliens vs. Predator
Posted on May 4th, 2009 by
Why is this movie rated PG-13?
Ever since the slimy black beast of Ridley Scott’s Alien and the deadly hunter in The Predator graced movie screens, science fiction fans have wondered which one would win in a fight? It’s one of those classic jumping off points for geek excess.
This Week in Games: May 3 – 9

While my personal pick of the week is Jagged Alliance for the DS, I simply had to put up the picture of Klonoa for the Wii in honor of Cary! The other releases include new Fallout 3 DLC called Broken Steel and a Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian game for pretty much every platform. The final release of interest is the Wii ‘New Play Controls’ re-release of the fun GameCube game Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. Check out the list! more…
