Wii Price drop to 199 Incoming. Or is this another Fake Ad?
Of all the fakeables in consumer electronics, the weekly newspaper ad has to be one of the easiest marks. Still, this one looks pretty legit, and if it’s real it means either we’re getting a much overdue Wii price cut on September 27th, or someone on the Toys R Us ad team has been severely [...]
Wii Internet Channel Free For now On!

Don’t Expect MotionPlus To Improve Your Old Wii Games
Do you think that – like trophy support on the PS3 – there is scope on the Wii for the new MotionPlus technology to be introduced for older games? Don’t be so optimistic. Responding to speculation that developers would be doing just that, Nintendo have told GameDaily "The Wii MotionPlus accessory is only for games [...]

Has Neversoft gone too far?
Let me start off by saying this is not directed to Guitar Hero World Tour. I have not tried it out yet so I have no opinion on it. My query to you is with the other version of Guitar Hero, such Guitar Hero Aerosmith, Guitar Hero On Tour and Guitar Hero Decades for the [...]

Rock Band Weekly: Steve Miller, Belly, Rob Zombie, Godsmack, Mute Math, Ghost Hounds

3D, Is It Really The Future?
With graphics of video games becoming near-lifelike, what are we suppose to do to push them over the edge? We fit gamers with dorky looking glasses so they can view their game in 3D. However, this begs the question, what about the other people in the room? 3D gaming is an interesting subject to look [...]
Rumor: And the next LEGO game is . . . LEGO Rock Band ?!?!
A “source” has told VG247 that Traveller’s Tales’ next LEGO game won’t be Star Wars. Won’t be Indiana Jones, either. Won’t be Robocop, won’t be Predator, won’t be Halo. It’ll be LEGO Rock Band. Seems the rumor stems from an interview on Britain’s Radio One last night, in which TT swore a new LEGO game [...]
