Screen Cap Proves MGS5 for 360
We’ve all heard from other sites, and those able to read Japan’s latest issue of Famitsu magazine, that Kojima was hinting at releasing some details about his next project, only days away, at E3. A few of us were chatting last night about this, and about the teaser site that now shows Big Boss briefly during a lightning strike and decided to do a thorough investigation on this “hype-train”. While we were chatting, some of us decided to record the site counter and animation, at 60 FPS, to make sure nobody missed anything. To our amazement, after analyzing the recording, frame by frame, for about six or seven minutes – we found something! What can barely be seen in standard resolution, looks a lot like an xbox logo when zoomed in 300%. Could this be the subliminal frame some of us have been looking for? You decide!

NBA 2K10 coming out for Wii
Story courtesy of Gamespot.com:
As part of a post-earnings conference call yesterday, Take-Two’s Ben Feder addressed the publisher’s sports business, which has struggled to achieve profitability in recent years. Notably, Feder said that it plans to expand the reach of its NBA basketball games, revealing that NBA 2K10 will arrive on the Wii when it ships on multiple platforms this fall.
“All of our sports products need to be multiplatform,” Feder said. “As we said over and over again on these calls, Nintendo was a terrific and important partner for Take-Two, and we expect that to continue over time, and especially in our sports business.”
No official release date has been given yet, other than the game is slated for release this fall(let’s hope the motion controls don’t suck).
More details on this game coming soon.

Nintendo developing Wii Fit Plus, and more!
Got some more Pre E3 2009 news for you. According to the site siliconera.com, a couple of announcements that Nintendo plans to make at this years E3, as far as game releases go, are a sequel to Wii Fit (Wii Fit Plus), and another title called Art Academy (which is rumored to be like a Mario Paint Game for the Wii).
No specific details about these games have been released yet, but to be honest with you, Nintendo needs to do better than this with their announcements about what games are going to be revealed at E3, seeing as how last years announcements (Wii Music, Animal Crossing, Wiispeak) were less than stellar, my expectations for this years are low, yet hopeful at best.

HVS announces New Game for Wii
High Voltage Software (makers of The Conduit and Madworld) have announced today that they are developing another FPS for the Wii called The Grinder. So far, nothing is really known about the story yet, other than you are in a world where vampires, zombies, and werewolves are all a part of everyday life, and a group of people are sent out to destroy all of them in order to save the world.
So far, the only details known about the features in the game are that it will include 4-player online play, Wii Motion Plus Support, and Wiispeak support as well. It honestly feels like a Wii version of Left 4 Dead, but after how much fun I had with that game (which was alot) I can see the potential that this game would have to be just as successful. No release date, other than TBA 2010 has been given yet, no price has been revealed either.
Here are a few screenshots of the game that I found on IGN.com, Enjoy!

Today’s XBLA Releases
Today we’re graced with TellTale’s first XBLA game, Wallace & Gromit Episode 1: Fright of the Bumblebees, and another addition to the Family Game Night series, Boggle.
In Fright of the Bumblebees, scatterbrained inventor, Wallace, and his crafty canine companion, Gromit, embark on a new honey enterprise, “From Bee to You.” When demand exceeds supply, Wallace tries to boost his worker bees’ production using a home-brewed growth formula that brings with it comically disastrous results. Playing as both Wallace and Gromit, you must unravel the mess and restore order to the duo’s quiet Northern England neighborhood. Check out the trailer below.
You can also pick up the first two episodes of Wallace and Gromit for PC at TellTale Games’ website for $8.95.
Also releasing today is another addition to the Hasbro Family Game Night family. Boggle is a game that is played using a grid of lettered dice. Players attempt to find words in sequences of adjacent letters. Players will be able to play the original board game along with Advanced and Word Hung modes.
Both of these games will set you back 800 MP ($10), and they both have trial versions available to download and try out.
PC Review: Plants Vs. Zombies
What do you do when zombies are creeping up your front lawn looking for dinner? You plant flowers – lots and lots of flowers.
Developers: PopCap Games
Publishers: PopCap Games
Genre: 2D Strategy
Rating: E
Price: $19.99
Pop cap games can unofficially crown themselves the “kings of casual” with the release of their latest title – Plants VS Zombies; a tower defense game with a ton of twists, that pits your home against some of the cutest zombies you could ever imagine. Now, I’m not a “big” casual game fan, so I’ll be honest – I was, initially, a tad bored playing PvZ, but as my playtime with the title increased the amount of fun I had playing Plants VS Zombies completely overwhelmed me. I, now, understand 100% why this game is amazingly addictive, fun, and strategic.
Plants VS Zombies starts off light and slow, throwing a few zombies your way while allowing comfort when learning the basics of defending your lawn. PopCap perfectly paces the game, introducing the player to new plants level by level; and as your stockpile of plants grow, it’s harder and harder to decide which plants you will be using in each level. Strategic decisions must be made, more and more, in later stages since you are limited to how many plants you can choose to use in each level to defend the increasing zombie count and variation; and as many plant varients their are zombies equally.
The amount of creative detail and design, in each plant and zombie, is top-notch, funny, and adorable; one of a kind in the Tower Defense genre. Some zombies walk, some run, some jump, and some defend themselves with road-cone helmets; all of them will leave you with a smile on your face – even if they’re eating your sunflowers.
Plants VS Zombies will consume a ton of your time, and not just with it’s adventure mode. There are fun mini-games like whack-a-zombie and zombie bowling to play, as well as well-designed puzzle scenarios to conquer. PopCap completely justifies [its] pricetag; a game of this calibure in design deserves every penny their asking.
The Tower Defense genre fans have one hell of a title here; beautifully-cute graphics, imaginative design, constant gameplay curveballs, and hours upon hours of strategic plant placing and zombie toasting will leave your heart content without a minute of boredom. If you’ve never played a “TD” game; this is the one you want to be playing. (A)
