Big Blue Bubble just announced that they’re bringing Canada’s favorite game on ice to WiiWare. ‘Hockey Allstar Shootout’ will be pretty much the first game of it’s kind on WiiWare. I’m not sure why they spell it “allstar” instead of “all star” but I guess that’s how they roll in Ontario. In this game, the Wii Remote will basically become your hockey stick as you compete in 3 different skills competitions.

The modes include Sharp Shooter where you break targets as quickly as you can, Power Shot where the hardest shot wins and Head to Head Shootout. I haven’t seen any videos or screens yet, but the game sounds interesting.

Looking to step in the ring with a bunch of sweaty, muscular men? Ok, good, me neither but now’s your opportunity to get as close with TNA iMPACT! as you want. This new Trailer shows just how good these graphics will look in gameplay mode. You can smell the testosterone off Big Poppa Pump’s forearms.

With the upcoming release of MegaMan 9 on the “Big 3″ consoles, will the 2D style graphics hold up?

MegaMan 9 will be THE first game to join Nintendo’s Wiiware, Xbox’s Live Arcade and PlayStation 3’s PSN. With the processor, memory and video cards these consoles posses why did Capcom select to go with their 2D graphics? My guess is that retro gaming STILL sells. As much as developers are trying to create the next Mario or Sonic gamers love where there roots began… back in the day.

MegaMan has always been an 8-bit classic, so I bet their release of MegaMan 9 will have those “old-timers” cracking their knuckles and ready to show the new bloods how to game. Nintendo first showed up MegaMan on the NES, but where will MegaMan succeed? Will it be the underdeveloped Wii? The pay for service XBLA? Or the supercomputer PS3?

While you ponder on these questions, check out Capcom’s latest screens. I’m sure they’ll get you to reminisce the 90’s.

This week looks to be a very hot week for Playstation news as another screenshot surfaces.  We already have seen PSone games hit the PSN, but with the news of PS2 games hitting the store this can be BIG NEWS!  I, for one, am an original PS3 60gb owner.  While the news of PS2 titles arriving to the PS3 is nice, I can bet that I own most of the titles they will release PLUS have it on disc which is playable on my PS3.  So, for you 20gb, 40gb, and some games on the 80gb PS3’s it looks like you’ll finally be able to play God of War I and God of War II.  Until it’s confirmed it’s just a rumor!  So why not spread it like wild fire!

So far I can see Red faction, MGS2, Fantavision, Smuggler’s Run and SSX and maybe Ridge Racer V.

Thanks for the tip PS3Fanboy!

When the two biggest characters in the Nintendo family step into a baseball diamond, you know references to ‘Big Papi’ are bound to be made. The following video shows Donkey Kong vs Bowser. I never knew Bowser and Waluigi were both left handed sluggers… weird.

To think I first played you when I too, was a wee young strapping lad. I remember the time when I first approached your arcade cabinet. First of all, getting to you was a difficult task. Going to ‘Big Mouth’ in North

Bergen, NJ was not the nicest crowd of kids. Your cabinet had a smell of freshly glued artwork on the side and your screen was nothing I’ve seen before. I looked on as others played before me, trying to find a spot where my quarter can sit (letting everyone else know, I had next).

Finally, it was my turn. I was a bit intimidated by the colorful screen and superb graphics. One thing you forgot to mention, a joystick and ONE button? How the hell was I supposed to throw a haduken. Action Button? Oh well, I managed to play but could never get out of the way of those bats!

Affirmed did it in 1978, and we’ll have to wait another year for a new Triple Crown winner. ‘Big Brown’ loses! Coming out of the rail at post number 1, Big Brown comes in last lightly galloping. ‘Big Brown’ moves to a career record of 5-1, 6 starts with 5 wins. It is uncertain if ‘Big Brown’ was injured during the race, but replays show no evidence of that.

Da’Tara took the early lead and did not look back. A horse trained by Nick Zito, Da’Tara looked strong the entire race. The win bet paid out an astonishing $79.00.

Could the injured hoof be the reason why ‘Big Brown’ did not win?

On a side note, be careful looking for ‘Big Brown’ through google images. I dropped my laptop at the results, here’s an example.

Belmont Stakes Results:

6 Da’Tara $79.00 $28.00 $14.00

4 Denis of Cork $5.40 $4.10

8 Anak Nakal/ Ready’s Echo $7.60 (Dead Heat)

This morning exclusively on 92.3 K-Rock in New York, the infamous Lazlow visited our favorite shock jocks Opie and Anthony to discuss all the new features we all can expect to see on April 29th. This will be O&A’s 2nd appearance in the GTA series. In the game, they discussed how Opie is a 24 yr old, who’s not taken serious and Anthony is a 40 year old mobster with a great voice. Other cast members in the show are Steve, Danny, Jim Norton, Than and Big A. This morning they visited a Russian strip club named “Honkers”. Lazlow mentioned how there is an in-game internet which will allow you to search the web for news, blogs and the even have a crapslist (spoof on craigslist). He also said that the in-game news will be dependent on what missions you’ve taken. For instance, if you happen to blow up a warehouse in downtown Bronx you can bet your bottom dollar that will make the in-game internet news. If you have a psycho girlfriend in the game, expect to receive email from her too.
