Get ready to brush your teeth with real teeth brushing action.

I’ve been interested in checking out the new DS incarnation of Roogoo, calledRoogoo Attack, ever since I first heard word it was coming our way. As you may already know,Roogoo Attackis related to the Wii releaseTwisted Towers(you’re able to unlock new levels in each if you own both games). The trailer after the jump looks at the DS version, which offers 110 levels of play and, priced at twenty bucks, kind of looks like a steal....
Transformershas a hardcore fanbase. Areallyhardcore fanbase. I consider myself a fan of the franchise, but I’m only a casual appreciator who has his favorite robots and sticks to them. Some of these guys arecrazy, and with such a zealous set of fans, I had to ask High Moon Studios how it’s dealing with the pressure as it developsWar for Cybertron. “Transformersfans arehugeand there are a lot of them — they are rabid and they read a lot aboutTF,” explain director Matt Tieger....

Each game will take advantage of the innovative controls of each system, and “will offer unpredictable, quick-paced, tactical play that combines suspense and risk-taking, where mounting anticipation comes to a crashing climax.” I smell an M rating … The titles will feature realistic block physics, single and multiplayer modes, and other enhancements including power-ups....
Yesterdaywe found outthat Koei was givingFist of the North StartheDynasty Warriorstreatment, and there was much rejoicing. Now, the very first screenshots have been revealed, along with leaked footage from Koei’s recent Japanese press conference, and I have to say that it looks surprisingly awesome. Warriorsgames aren’t exactly known for their graphical brilliance, but this is looking like some of Omega Force’s best work, visually. The gameplay looks suitably violent and unrelenting as well, which is exactly what you want from a game based on the rather brutal Manga where people regularly explode....
This isn’t exactly a surprise, and I’m guessing some of you have already seen it, but here it is, just in case.NWiiZonerecently picked up a little quote from Hideo Kojima fromGamePromagazine regarding what he thinks of the Wii and high-def: You may hear Blu-ray is huge, gigantic, 20 GB or so, but that’s not really that big to us. One basic [gameplay] with HD visual and 5.1 sound takes up so much space that the capacity will become too small in no time....

The cover features what we can only assume to be the game’s lead character, who looks more like something aboutCall of Duty: Black Opsthan the Native American Tommy from the original....
[Update:Logo added. Also, Capcom Unity’s post on the new game mentions Ryu and Authur. Wait, what? Apparently there’s aGamespotexclusive video, but the internet is spanking their page.Try this HD version. It’s quite good.] Mega Man Universewas announced this morning. The latest in Capcom’s long-running series will be a “revolutionary take on the seminal classic, setting course for a new chapter in classic gaming.” Wow, that’s exciting and vague at the same time!...
You know how it works! With the help of each other, try to figure out all of the disguised game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones. This week I took the theme in a drastically different direction, but even though it might be clever it’s probably obvious. As usual, don’t be afraid to shout out ideas and work together as a team to solve them all....
Rocksteady continues its steady drip of villain reveals forBatman: Arkham Citywith Mr. Freeze today. The icy villain is making all sorts of demands of the Dark Knight, and our hero isnotamused. But I am, on the other hand. Because every time one of these trailers is released, I get giddy thinking about getting my hands on this game. I can’t and won’t contain my excitement. I can’t possibly be an objective professional in this situation: I wantBatman: Arkham City right now....
