de Blob 2: Underground hitting the big three consoles

For someone who hasn’t played a ton of Wii games, I can definitely say that de Blob was my favourite.  In the original, you controlled Blob, who’s goal was to bounce around a city, and liberate the citizens from the evil INKT Corporation by painting the buildings in vibrant colours.  It has an interesting control scheme, and the gameplay is a blast.  Though not a runaway best seller (what non-Nintendo game IS on the Wii), it’s done well enough that THQ has announced there will be a sequel, called de…

Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands gameplay video

The new Prince of Persia, due out in May, helps fill in the seven year gap between The Sands Of Time and Warrior Within, as seen in the new trailer, which has both gameplay footage and developer commentary.

Besides the classic parkour style action, there’s some new…

YouTube for Television released for PS3 and Wii, sort of

If you’re like me, the only exercise you often get on a Saturday afternoon is when you take a break from playing video games to walk into the next room where your computer lives and check out some videos on the Interwebz. Now, if you have either a PS3 or a Wii, YouTube has effectively robbed you of that 15 seconds of pure raw cardio by quietly offering up Youtube for Television, currently in Beta and advertised as only available for the aforementioned systems. Technically, the phrase “only available for…
