Wii Party sports over 80 mini-games and features Miis as the in-game characters. The Japanese version of the game — which I played — has 14 game modes, while the U.S. version has…
Like microscopic. Literally! Experimental artist Kotaro Tanaka has created this playable Pac-Man that requires players to use a microscope. The feed from an original Pac-Man arcade board is run through an XRGB-3 upscan converter and projected on a small mirror and seen through the scope. All of this is housed in a lab work bench.…
Balance Ship was one of the standout mini-games in Wii Party. Hiding a Wii-Remote might seem gimmicky, and it might actually be. But I don’t care, it’s fun.

Duke Nukem Forever has been in development since 1997. And the man who toiled away on that game for over a decade lost a bunch of cash. Tens of millions, apparently. Ouch. Gearbox Software has taken the reigns of the game from its original developer 3D Realms. In May 2009, the world around Duke Nukem…

Sam Raimi (Evil Dead series) is teaming up with District 9 producer Bill Block and Air Force One scribe Andrew Marlowe for “EDF”, a film about an alien invasion. “EDF” stands for “Earth Defense Force”, and apparently Raimi isn’t directing. Since 2003, D3 Publisher…
