Here’s a nicely shot Heroes Del Ring game trailer for your Monday viewing pleasure – enjoy!

Disney Epic Mickey – Dark Beauty Castle Preview

It’s certainly dark and truly beautiful (in a nicely twisted manner), that’s for sure. Each new teaser makes me want to get my hands on the game all the quicker. Game of the Year on the Wii? I’d say it’s absolutely in the running…

Lucha Libre: Heroes Del Ring GameStop Pre-Order Bonus Pics

I forgot to post these with my Heroes Del Ring hands-on a few days back, so here you go:

Shots of the rather awesome pre-order Luchador masks GameStop is giving away exclusively (one per customer) to those who plunk down a deposit. Very cool indeed and a well-made premium, to boot. If I'm not mistaken, they're made from nice and stretchy polyester (one size fits all unless you've a really tiny or really HUGE head) with vinyl detailing. They also lace up in the back like the actual masks for that extra touch of authenticity.

Nyko Wand+ Waves into Retail (Cue Sexy Time Music)…

I'd never thought I'd say this about a Wii controller, but Nyko's new Wand+ controller looks kind of… sexy. No, really – just look at it (or peruse the press release below the jump). Trust me, staring for too long at these pics with a glass of wine (or grape juice if you're not of age) in hand and a slow jam on the 8-Track will get you in the mood to play games you'd never even touch with the stock Wii Remote.

Preview/Gallery: Lucha Libre: Heroes Del Ring


Konami has a super high-flying, action-packed wrestling game coming your way and nope, it's not another Rumble Roses installment. Lucha Libre: Heroes Del Ring (PS3/Xbox 360/Wii) is shaping up to be a ridiculously fun mix of arcade-style gameplay and plenty colorful characters from the hugely popular Mexican wrestling circuit. At Konami's Gamer's Night NYC event last week, I got to see and play a bit of the PS3 version of game and found it not only immediately accessible, but both fun, challenging and surprisingly informative about the south of the border version of the sport.

Hudson + Lost in Shadow + Child’s Play + Facebook = A Great Cause!



You have to love Child's Play and Hudson for teaming up for the charity with a simple yet extremely awesome Facebook idea YOU can help with. How? Just boogie on over to the official Lost In Shadow Facebook page and “Like” the game. What is Lost in Shadow, you ask? Heck, it's looking like an amazing, ethereal Wii adventure like no other on the console, so you also get a chance to find out more about it (bonus!).

Once you “Like” the game page, Hudson will donate ten cents to Child's Play – now how great is that? Want to contribute even more? Well, just change your profile pic on Facebook to a shadow of its former self (any shadow will do) and Hudson will up that contribution to a dollar.

I'm off to snap a new pic now. So far the LOS page has a mere 58 likes… let's change that in a BIG way, OK? The event ends on September 7, 2010, so don't wait! By the way, Lost in Shadow is set to hit retail on January 4, 2011 – back with more on the game shortly. The press release is below le jump if you want to check it out.

Disney Interactive Announces Epic Mickey, TRON: Evolution Collector’s Editions

With two of the most anticipated (and definitely two of my most anticipated) game releases this year, Disney Interactive Studios is definitely putting Disney Epic Mickey and TRON: Evolution fans on notice that they're in for some really cool collector's editions. There's also a cool TRON iPhone/iPod Touch app from Disney Mobile that's free and has a few fun features (that updated version of Tanks is pretty darn cool, by the way.

Click away below for press releases and nice photos. Now if only someone would get one of those fancy custom bike shop wizards to cook up a WORKING life-size Tron light cycle replica…

Konami Gamers Night 2010 (With Hudson, Too!)

Konami Gamers' Night NYC – 2010 Edition

Konami rolled into NYC with a varied lineup of excellent games, this time with the remainder of their 2010 lineup and special guests Hudson Soft for a great gathering of games guaranteed to get you moving in one manner or another. While there wasn't a Snake to be found anywhere in sight, there were more than enough great games to keep everyone who dropped by glued to a monitor, hip-hopping as loudly as possible or flailing away working up a good sweat as a singer, dancer, mini-gamer extraordinaire or sports star.

About 20 titles were on display from both new Castlevanias, two console classics remade for today's consoles, a surprisingly fun wrestling game and plenty of guaranteed musical and mini-game hits headed for the Wii as well as the upcoming Move and Kinect peripherals. I'll be covering a few of these titles in depth over the next week or so with galleries and/or hands-on impressions (denoted by *), but for now, here's a quick rundown of what was on the floor:
