Though we will say that while the images are clearly lower rez than the PSP version, the dual screen integration appears at least thought out. Anyone excited? Anyone? More »

See, I never 'got' the movie. I tried so hard to find the underlying funny in it, watching it ten times in various mixes of company hoping to discover the secret recipe that would concoct hilarity in my soul, but alas...it just never happened. I wanted it to happen, I really did. The only strong feeling I came away from the movie with was how nasty eating tater tots out of someone else's pocket would be. So I just don't get it, but when Crave sits you down at E3 and places a PSP in your hands it is hardly a time to say no thanks, so I soldiered on nonetheless. Just keep in mind as you read this, ND fans, that I am not one of you, though I love you just the same as if you were normal children. More »

Give me a controller and a relatively accurate rendering of the silver ball and I am a happy camper. A while back I wrote up a press release about Crave's Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection, which is being released sometime this year on the PS2, PSP, and this time around the Wii. A follow-up to the previously released Gottlieb Collection, this anthology features one of my favorite tales of all time, Pinbot. When I visited with Crave at E3 I got a chance to get hands-on with the Wii version of the game, and I have to say that after playing through several balls on good old Pinbot, I am spoiled for virtual pinball on any other system More »

They're releasing games based on the Jared Hess-directed flick for the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable and none too soon. Let's hope that the intense demand for all things Napoleon related don't wane before the game hits storeshelves at a future date! More »

Crave Entertainment's upcoming Crayola game will lead players on a colorful romp to find hidden treasure. Armed only with a treasure map and Crayola crayons, players can draw and color their way through challenging obstacles and exciting mini-games to complete quests and discover the treasure.
Sure I wouldn't mind a little Tronesque crayoncycle multiplayer on that list, but I think I speak for everyone here when I say there's nothing like a good romp. Here's hoping the special edition box has a stylus sharpener. Mark Wilson More »

Featuring 13 different bikes and 12 environments playable in either race or trick mode, the game promises to be the best BMX game ever released for the Wii. I'm interested to see how the controls pan out, though I am imagining they'll be something akin to the setup that SSX Blur used. More »
