Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 picture

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 release date

Tiger Woods 10 was one of the biggest selling titles for Nintendo Wii last year. This wasn’t because the Wii outdid the HD consoles with great graphics or an exclusive Tiger Woods Hot Coffee minigame. No of course the Wii with its unique motion controls meant that if you wanted to have that real golf feel then Tiger Woods on Wii was the way to go. Just like last year, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 for Wii sees small but nonetheless impressive improvements over the previous year’s releases. This year Tiger Woods 11 for Wii once again has additional support...

The Conduit 2

The Conduit 2 release date

Sega and High Voltage Software return with a follow up to the reasonably successful First Person Shooter for Wii; The Conduit. Whilst the original Conduit for Wii was a little stale in places, it did at least push the hardware with its impressive visuals and innovative completely customisable control scheme. I can’t deny I’m looking forward to another dose of Sci-Fi action on Wii this winter and The Conduit 2 for Wii looks very promising. Building upon the impressive but flawed online modes in the original, we can expect a much more exciting range of features in the sequel. Details...

Nyko Type Pad Pro Keyboard for Wii announced

Up until now if you wanted to type a lot of text on your Wii you either had to use the onscreen virtual keyboard or purchase the rather good looking but bulky official Logitech Wii Cordless Keyboard.

It’s a battery free design features a port pass through port for your WiiMotionPlus or Nunchuck accessories. Available right now from Amazon for under $30; sounds like it’s time to start writing...

SplatterHouse

Splatter House release date

Last night I went to the Metal Hammer Golden Gods music awards and Namco were sponsoring the event with their remake of the 80s classic Splatterhouse. We got VIP access and a presentation on a boat where we also got to try the game out as well. In the game you play as Rick who must rescue his girlfriend from the evil Dr West. You don a magical mask that makes you all pumped (wish it was that easy) and then go about defeating all the monsters and experiments across lots of 3D and 3D levels. As you kill the...

Xbox 360 Slimline Elite

Xbox 360 Slimline Elite release date

Whilst it was no secret a redesigned Xbox 360 would be shown off at this year’s E3, for once though no photos leaked out of the factories beforehand. An official Microsoft advert appeared on Facebook a few hours too early but for all intents and purposes, Microsoft did a good job keeping it under wraps. So what is different about the Microsoft Xbox Elite Slimline console? Looks: Goodbye matte finish, hello very shiny (and reflective) coating Roughly two thirds the size of the original Xbox 360 Controller gets a new colour too Specs: Not fully disclosed yet but a smaller...

Red Faction Guerilla

Red Faction Armageddon trailer

The E3 trailer for Red Faction: Armageddon is out. The game’s set 500 years after the last game and you play as Darius Mason, the grandson of Alec Mason. Everyone has now moved underground because the surface of Mars has become uninhabitable again. There’s also a dormant evil lurking down there so it’s up to you to stop Armageddon. Once again there will be destructible scenery and also a weapon called the Nano Forge which has been passed down the generations to keep the planet safe. It basically gives Darius superhuman powers so now he can become invisible, destroy walls with...
