*NOTE: I know this game was made by Blue Castle Games, in Canada, but it’s still basically the same game as DR1. Same people worked on it too, and Capcom made the first game.* I believe this game demonstrates the theory that Eastern game developers have already lost to the West. What is this new [...]

Nyko Wand Core Pak for Wii
Nice third-party peripherals are few and far between, which is why I let out a sigh of relief when I opened Nyko’s Wand Core Pak for the Wii. The Core Pak includes Nyko’s Wand remote and wired Kama controller, which are replacements for Nintendo’s Wiimote and Nunchuck, respectively. Here’s the Marketing Fluff… The Wand Core [...]
New Super Mario Bros. Wii: Hands on
Nintendo’s booth had a slew of 1st party titles coming for the DS and the Wii, but none were more effective at re-imagining old school NES games than New Super Mario Brothers. Once a sole DS title, the game has now made a Wii incarnation and it’s every bit as fun as its predecessor. The [...]

Rev up your engines and get ready to race as EA has released My Sims Racing for the Nintendo Wiii. Gamers get to select from a quick race options as well as multiplay and career modes that allow gamers to customize not only their characters but their cars and tracks as well. The game allows [...]
EA Sports Active Review
I don’t think I can drive five miles from my house without coming across a fitness center. LA Fitness there, 24 Hr Fitness here, Curves that way. Everywhere I turn, there’s a flyer or coupon touting great deals for new members. Sure, I get tempted. Goodness knows this body needs more exercise. But in my [...]
Rock Band Unplugged Review
All I can say, is: it’s about time. Why did it take so long to get Rock Band on PSP? Nintendo DS has had Guitar Hero On Tour for a couple of years now, and while everyone else was playing FPS and old rips of Playstation One games, we got the pleasure of watching other [...]
Rock Band Unplugged for the PSP!
It seems like after several long years, the PSP is finally coming of age. Last month, Sony released Resistance: Retribution for the PSP (read our review here). This is one of the first games on the PSP to make extensive use of the internet, and Sony’s Playstation Network. Sony is finally starting to flex its [...]
Hard-core Gamers Losing Their Edge
Hard core gamers have lost their “most sought after” position for video game system and software producers. Without a lot of fanfare the developers/manufacturers have found that there is a huge general and casual gamer market out there… young or old, male or female. It came as a rude shock to our son…he was no [...]
CES 09 Wrap-Up
Ok, CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2009 was off a little in the number of exhibitors and attendees. So? It was a crappy second half of ’08 folks. No one has been drinking happy juice about the prospects for the next six months! Best guess there were only about 90,000 people at the Vegas show (after 5-10 shows [...]
RIP EGM, Microsoft, Midway Sucks
Happy New Year to all! Welcome to the first Wrath of El Pato for 2009. I hope everyone had a good Christmas and had Santa show up at their door loaded with presents. I got a pink slip! It was so nice of him, let the job hunt begin! It’s been so long since I’ve [...]
North American Hunting Extravaganza
Everyone knows that the majority of people playing the Wii are Japanese women and children between 8 and 13, right? Who would have thought that this demographic would be screaming for a hunting game? Well, thankfully the guys at Arcade Moon and Destineer are such forward thinkers that they brought the Nintendo world the one thing that [...]
Megaman-a-thon Part 1: Megaman
Here we go. Every few days I am going to do another Megaman review until I can actually get all them reviewed. For the record, all games are reviewed in the order they are released. I don’t think many people played this game as the first Megaman. Most of the gaming public started with Megaman [...]
Nyko Wing Controller for Wii Review
We all have fond memories of the classic video games of yesteryear. Maybe the Holiday Season makes me a little more nostalgic over the times when my chubby face was either lit by the Christmas tree or phosphorous images of Mario on TV. Either way, many people have been downloading classic Nintendo games over the [...]
Eagle Neptor Wii Shotgun Review
The Nintendo Wii has resurrected the old ‘light gun’ gameplay of yesteryear. The formula has worked so well that several companies (including Nintendo) have unleashed specialized gun grips for the Wii controllers. Some of these controllers are better than others, depending on the features of the game, but gun grips do increase the fun in [...]
X-OOM Media Centre XE for Wii
Digital videos and photos are no longer in the realm of the geek. Nowadays even the average person has a large collection of digital music, movies,and videos… and these are usually located on the family computer. What if you want to watch your movies or share your latest vacation photos in your living room? Not [...]
2008 Holiday ANTI-Shopping Guide: 15 Products to AVOID!
Every winter we have to think about what to get our loved (and not-so-loved) ones. There are tons of vendors that try to cash in on our buying frenzy by offering a bunch of stuff that we simply don’t want or need. Since we don’t need it, I guess we assume that other people do. Most [...]
Iron Chef America: Supreme Cuisine Hands On
Cooking Mama is one of the most unlikely casual gaming hits in recent memory. The goal of the game is to basically prepare culinary delights from scratch, which runs you through a series of mini-games for each step of the cooking process. The Nintendo Wii and DS’s unique control mechanisms are perfect for this type [...]
Xbox 360 Controller for Windows
I’ve been looking for the perfect gamepad ever since I had a PC, which was way before the original Doom debuted. Back then, the Super Nintendo presented its revolutionary controller, and many companies like Gravis tried to create knock-off solutions for the PC gamer. They were quite innovative at the time and had several improvements [...]
Stoked Preview from Destineer
Destineer is a well-known publisher of some unusual games, and has primarally focused on the Nintendo DS and Wii platforms. As such, many of their prior games have not pushed the graphics envelope, or been very large in scope. A visit to the Destineer booth at PAX 2008 made me believe that this trend may [...]
Final Fantasy IV Revisited
There was once a time when RPG’s didn’t have flashy cinematics, real time battles, and overly clichéd plots. There was a game that was innovative for improving the turn based formula, giving a story like none have ever seen, and a translation none would want to see again. Of course, I am talking about Final [...]
