The Beatles are a tough act to follow, but Green Day steps up and delivers a solid performance
Love them or hate them, Green Day is one of the few bands of the 90’s who remain as successful today as their original breakout. Re-imagining themselves from the punk rock trio that released hits like Welcome to Paradise and Basket Case to the modern, thematically charged artists behind narrative albums like American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown Green Day has catered to a current audience across 2 decades. Now with more people experiencing their music through games, Green Day are once more adapting for the masses with the release of Green Day: Rock Band.

Toy Story 3 delivers gameplay that lasts to infinity, and beyond
Making a good kids’ game is hard. By the time your skills are refined enough to deliver a solid experience you’re out of touch with your audience. It’s a strange crux to face, but the folks at Avalanche software stared it down and delivered a very solid experience for the minors.

The samurai-gunslinger revisited and reconsidered
When Red Steel launched with the Wii it was supposed to showcase the system’s groundbreaking controls and give players the opportunity to finally live out their samurai dreams. However, with a limited range of motion detection and an almost on-rails linear format the game became the embodiment of disappointment. Now, years later with the addition of the Wii Motion Plus Ubisoft is going to try it again to see if this time it can live up to the lofty expectations.
Grab your magnifying glass and fingerprint dusting kit, it's time to solve a crime!
Long before your father ever cared about virtual bowling, family game nights were about getting around a table and playing a board game with dice and pieces with those closest to you. Guilty Party is an extension of that sort of experience by translating the experience of playing games like Clue or Guess Who to the Nintendo Wii. It looks like it takes full advantage of the digital medium and isn’t satisfied at simply porting the gameplay, it wants to reinvent it for a more interactive platform.
Just how does one wrangle the essence of Tony Stark in to a video game?
Lots of people were excited for Iron Man, but few could predict just how phenomenal the film would be. Now, with the sequel being one of the most anticipated films of the past 5 years it’s only natural SEGA has returned to deliver another video game adaptation of the classic Marvel character.
Developer Mike McHale and Producer Dean Martinetti at SEGA invited us to listen in to a conference call that went over a lot of the game’s talking points and let us have some insight on how Iron Man 2 plans to be more than the expected movie-game cash-in.
