Once thought impossible, it looks like Capcom's living-dead mall walker may be headed to Nintendo's console after all.

Zombie games are always a good time, and while Nintendo's newest console has certainly seen their fare share of the living dead, its mostly been represented by Capcom's prestigious Resident Evil franchise.  But what of the company's other zombie bash-o-thon, Dead Rising?  Yeah, start stifling those insane giggles and superior glances, because we all know too well that if nothing else Capcom is a company that certainly follows the money.  With over a million sold and a Las Vegas-style sequel in the works for the Xbox 360 console, it looks like the original game may have to be dusted off and readied for a console that was never design to support it.  Oh man, this should be fun!

Dead Rising...on the Nintendo Wii console.  The latest issue of Japanese game magazine Famitsu seems to confirm once was thought undoable, so let's all take a deep breath and hold our horses.  Consider the impossible as you scan those lovely, um, scanned images just below.  Its difficult to tell just what type of a graphical hit the Wii translation will take on its trip over from Xbox Land, but suffice to say if the bulk of the gameplay and ghoulish fun makes the trip, then Wii owners should feel pretty relieved.  And speaking of relieved...is it possible to get a slightly better saving system this time around guys?  Seriously.


Big thanks to WiiEveryday!

Crazy, silly, and still accessible even to those who have never set foot inside any type of game remotely similar to DOTA or even the lesser Monday Night Combat.

While the combat is satisfying enough, it feels like a marginal update, with an angrier protagonist, plenty of coarse, unnecessary language, and a veil of angst so thick you could cut with a knife.

Better than the Transformers trilogy in the same way that having a cold is better than having the flu; thoughtlessly inundated with action and effects, and generally free from any semblance of plot, character development, or theme.

Another unfortunate example of what happens when real self-help book advice is applied to the plot of a romantic comedy, with no truth to any of the characters - they’re more like byproducts from a particularly bad sitcom pilot.

a taut, suspenseful, intelligently structured thriller that pays homage to con movies without having to spoof them; represents a dying breed of crime thriller in which character and plot take precedence over action and special effects.

A bright, funny, hopelessly endearing film that benefits greatly from the sheer likeability of its actors; an exuberantly charming comedy, but also a surprisingly compelling depiction of a world in transition.

A triumph of craft, not so much in regards to flashy special effects but more so along the lines of camera tricks, set design, and avant-garde approaches to editing.
