According to a new info dump, the highly anticipated Wii exclusiveThe Last Storywill not use “shake controls”. It’s also been made clear that the game will not be coming to other consoles because Nintendo worked so closely with Mistwalker on developing the game. There’s a whole lot of other stuff about the game on the link below. I’m particularly psyched to see that we’ll be getting regular video updates for the rest of the month....

Cuccos: for years we’ve taken their ability to glide safely across Hyrule for granted. When we had no further use for these beautiful creatures, we cast them aside without a care. We even hit them a few times when they got in our way. We meet a brave little Cucco who’s going to change this. The video is filled with truly hilarious moments, which include a Cucco eating Navi, opening a chest to find a picture ofReggie Fils-Aimeand Ruto riding a Cucco inside of Lord Jabu-Jabu, just to name a few....

Ok, I honestly wasn’t the slightest bit interested inThe Sims 3 Petsprior to this trailer. Yeah,The Simsare fun, but pets have never really struck my fancy.However, there are unicorns. Yes, single-horned horses of the whitest coat with the most elegant goatees you’ll ever see. Unicornsmay be lost to usnow, but they can live on throughThe Sims. God bless you,Sims;you’ve preserved the once proud and elegant species for future generations to behold....

TheSunhas gone for a double whammy today! Earlier we talked aboutits continuing vendettaagainst the 3DS, and now we have a far more alarming story for your Saturday morning hysteria. The British paper, known predominantly for pictures of tits and histrionic drivel, has run the huge front-page headline, “DEATH BY XBOX.” The story concerns itself with twenty-year-old “gaming addict” Chris Staniforth, who died of deep vein thrombosis. The blood clot that finished him off, reports theSun, is a direct result of his gaming habits....

I don’t think I have ever been happy about Jello Biafra losing the case against his former bandmates until this moment, as I’m certain he never would have licensed the rights to Dead Kennedys music forRock Band. Next week, his loss is our gain as a pack of songs from the politically-charged hardcore punk band makes its way into DLC. The tracks I’ll be impatiently downloading consist of “Holiday in Cambodia,” “California Uber Alles” and “Police Truck....

Moments after my first viewing ofTaken, I distinctly remember wanting someone to adapt the movie — more in style and subject matter than anything else — into a videogame. Of course, the transferring of ideas between the two mediums almost always ends tragically. In more than a few ways,Splinter Cell: Convictionis my best bet. Everything we’ve seen of it thus far would lead us to believe it doesnotsuck, it’s got some parallels toTakenstory-wise, and it’s effing Sam Fisher getting sweet, sweet revenge on many a bad guy....
