  1. Hi guys.
    Thanks as always 🙂

    I played a lot of Magic the Gathering because a new expansion was released. And since wrath of the Koch king classic was released for WoW I got back to it for a lot of hours 🙂

    Regarding the topics: I have a simple stereo setup at my pc, because most of the time I play with headset anyway to talk to my friends in discord or listen to music. In my living room I have good 5.1 setup with a new receiver and 5 nice Teufel speakers 🙂
    X-com: I played it 10 years ago but I don’t think I will replay it. Maybe … we will see.
    Pac-Man 4 sound interesting… maybe I will check it out 🙂
    Kirby Games: I think the only Kirby game that I have played is the one for the first game Boy back in the days. Good old times when you spend a lot of time to a single game!
    The other games I barely know … i have heard of fire emblem but never played it :/

    Please stay healthy and keep on gaming!
    Greetings from Germany
    Ralf

  • Nintendo announces Nintendo 3DS
  • Sony thinks 3D belongs on consoles and not hand helds

This weeks Question of the Week: “Everyone loves shoot em ups. What was your favorite shoot em up? Xevious? Space Invaders? Galaga? Ikaruga?”

Dead Rising On Wii, Does Anyone Care?Dead Rising On Wii, Does Anyone Care?

Dead Rising is being ported to the Nintendo Wii, only two years after the original title. In Japan, they’ve changed the name to Dead Rising: Zombies Sacrifice, perhaps to make it sound like a different game.

The game, in fact, is said to have some difference from the original title. These changes are ‘upgrades’ from the original title based on feedback from consumers. Rather than simply reissuing the same game, “in addition to a revised story structure, the Wii version of Dead Rising will feature new enemies and items, as well as a behind-the-shoulder camera system modeled after Resident Evil 4” (1up)

Fixing the camera and adding some new monsters is enough to give the game the subtitle Zombies Sacrifice. They’ve included full waggle support for the controller allowing you to kill zombies with the greatest of ease, but… it’s still killing zombies…

Does anyone care?
