EA Certainly Not Ruling Out Rock Band For The Wii

Rock Band on Wii? It's a total "no brainer." Sure, you might need a couple of brains to design, code, test, license, manufacture and market the thing, but beyond that? It practically creates itself! But why hasn't it happened yet? The game has already appeared on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2, so why isn't EA betting on the little white horse? While Harmonix's own Alex Rigopolus has said the Wii has "enormous potential for music games" and rumors have pointed to EA itself interested in such a product, it has yet to materialize in physical or announcement form. GamePro got the update from EA themselves today, who decided to decline confirming that it exists and opted not to announce Rock Band Wii via the magazine.

Look, it's an inevitability. You can bet money on it, given that EA likes money and a Rock Band port is one of those things that will make money. This theory has worked pretty well for me so far, but I'll update the logic on this should the thing fail to pan out.

Rumor: Ratchet & Clank Size Matters To Get PS2 Upgrade

It looks like High Impact Games' portable take on the Ratchet & Clank series may be the latest PSP game to get a PlayStation 2 port. A listing for Ratchet & Clank Size Matters for the PS2 was uncovered by the eagle eyed staff at Joystiq today, one which points to the game shipping for the console February of next year. It's listed at $29.99, ten dollars cheaper than the PSP original.

While we don't have official word yet—we're waiting to hear back from SCEA—it certainly wouldn't surprise us to see yet another PSP game ported to the PS2. With one-time exclusive PSP titles such as Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Twisted Metal: Head On, Tokobot and (allegedly) Silent Hill Origins making the jump, it might just file under fiscally sensible.

Valve Crushes Dreams Of Portal On Wii

With almost every game announcement comes the cry from at least one gamer "Why isn't this on the Wii?" Take Valve's Portal, for example. It may seem like a perfect fit, what with the game's emphasis on pointing at things and pressing buttons, but according to head marketing honcho Doug Lombardi, there's "nothing in product" at Valve. Crushing, I know.

Fortunately, Lombardi does throw himself a blue portal through which to escape, punctuating his denial to CVG with a "not yet, anyway." Consider your heartstrings toyed with, Wii owners!

Trusty Bell: Chopin's Dream Coming to US as "Eternal Sonata"

We've been poking around Trusty Bell news the same way we sniffed after Rule of Rose stuff (review on that one is coming up, I promise). I'm pleased to announce that the composer-centric game is coming to the US under the name Eternal Sonata, possibly with some modifications: More »

Latest by bugbread: My guess is that they took out the Chopin reference in the title because they figured people wouldn't know how to pronounce Chopin. However, since the music is pretty integral, what I figure is just that they took the Chopin out of the TITLE of the game. Once more »

The Settlers Yoke Oxen, Commute to the DS

It's so odd to think that, before the Nintendo DS, those of us looking for a portable real-time strategy game pretty much had to do with the Pocket PC. But here comes another one: Ubisoft has announced The Settlers is coming soon to a touch-screen near you. More »

PS3 Sucks For PC Porting

Are you one of those tiresome people who responds to every gaming forum thread with: "*yawn* I'll wait for the PC port!" Well, looks like you'll need to uncan a new anti-console canard when the PS3 hits, because PC ports on PS3 titles look bleak. More »
