In the United States, health care has passed. Some people are pleased, some are not and others are even indifferent. So let's talk about video games! More »

Game site Go Nintendo brings word that Atlus has sent out a Trauma Center survey — trying to find out player's likes, dislikes and whatnot. Here's the interesting big: Atlus asks players if they'd like to see Trauma Center on another platform. Those who finish the survey get the pictured nurse Angie Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 art.

Wanna-be surgeons rejoice! Atlus is bringing Trauma Center back to the Nintendo DS. The sequel has Dr. Stiles and nurse Angie tackle the effects and "unanswered mysteries" of the GUILT Virus from the prequel. There's new characters as well, along with a tighter tools that will hopefully address the bitching and moaning incurred by the original game's tool scheme. The game is penciled in for an August release in Japan. More »

The Cartoon Network's Adult Swim is back with another irreverent flash game to help you while away a lazy Monday morning. This time around they're taking on the Trauma Center series with the game Alan Probe: Amateur Surgeon. Join Alan, a pizza delivery guy whose truck's faithful meeting with a former doctor leads him to give up his day job in favor of performing unauthorized surgery in a dirty clinic. Open the patient with your pizza cutter, remove glass with salad tongs, close them up with your stapler and then cauterize the wound with your Zippo! Other available tools include a corkscrew, a car battery, and an Etch-A-Sketch? All the fun of surgery with none of those silly hygiene guidelines - plus his name is an anagram for Anal Probe! Top quality. More »

This new Trauma Center: New Blood video really gets the adrenaline pumping—almost enough for us to call our father and yell, "See! I didn't waste my life!" Almost. More »

Two doctor series. Both from Japan. Trauma Center, you know and love. And Kenshuui Tendo Dokuta, well, that DS title you might not be familiar with. Retitled as "Lifesigns: Surgical, the game is coming to North American via publisher Dreamcatcher this June. The game's producer Jay Podilchuk explains how it's different from Trauma Center: More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=255390&view=rss&microfeed=true I have just started playing Trauma Center and — unlike Phoenix Wright, a game often mentioned in the same breath yet which I absolutely loathe — I really, really like it. But man, is Trauma Center brutally hard or what? I don't think I've ever once managed to make an incision without getting a "Bad" rating, though I'm more than willing to admit that a lifetime of debilitating inebriation has left me with the permanent D.T.s.

The demand for DS doctor game Trauma Center: Under the Knife was so strong a reprint was prescribed, which was dosed out last month. That reprint has been so popular that game publisher Atlus announced there would be another reprint this August to revive the shortage. I'm a big fan of the DS game—the title brilliantly integrates the touch screen. Looking forward to the Wii version, which should be in operation later this year, and hoping it will do for the Wii-mote what Under the Knife did for the touch pen, or the scalpel for that matter.

When the game came to the U.S. you just couldn't get it and to make matters worse, Atlus didn't seem to care. More »

Rumor has it that Nintendo's surprise DS hit Trauma Center is going to be coming to the Revolution. IGN says their sources tell them the big-screen version of the swipe-and-cut game will even be showable at this years E3. I can't wait. More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=158547&view=rss&microfeed=true Ian Bogost posted a nicely written and detailed look at Trauma Center: Under the Knife over on Water Cooler Games. Instead of getting caught up in the excellent new use of the DS's touch screen, Bogost examines some of the underlying structure of the game. He finds that while Trauma Center is a ton of fun to play it lacks a certain level of depth, making it a bit more superficial than he expected. Bogost describes it as sort of a rail-surgery game, with players running from one operation to the next without any alteration in order or decision making between operations. More »

Planet Gamecube just posted a ton of screenshots from the excellent DS game, Trauma Center: Under the Knife. I had a chance to play the game at E3 and it's a lot of fun. The game has you performing surgery on digital patients with the use of the touchscreen and your stylus. Playing doctor has almost never been so much fun. More »
