January 17, 2008 | 1 Comment
As awesome as Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii is… they accidentally released the game with mono sound. Apparently this was due to some screw up when the game master was made. Whatever the cause, Activision has stepped up:
From the Activision recall site:
So if you have Guitar Hero III for Wii, I highly recommend getting your recall disk exchange.

Spider-Man 3: Second Video Game Trailer
April 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment
The Spider-Man games from Activision have consistently been outstanding. This is a surprise, considering most movie based games often turn out horrible, usually do to inflexible release schedules.
I find these games to be fun just to explore and swing around New York. In this new release, the city is bigger, deeper, and more detailed. Aa long as the Wii controls hold up, this is destined to be an amazing adventure game. This trailer has me salivating for this game even more than the first trailer.

Spider-Man 3: The Video Game Trailer
February 28, 2007 | 6 Comments
With both Spider-Man 2 and Ultimate Spider-Man video games, Activision put together possibly the greatest product tie-in video games. IGN gave these scores of 8.8 and 8.4 respectively, which says a lot (scores from GameCube versions).
The development team is claiming that they have improved on the previous games with a larger, more detailed map of Manhattan as well as the ability to go underground in the sewers and subway systems. In previous games, they left things wide open for you to swing and explore the city, taking on thugs and side missions as you so desired. In this game they have enhanced this piece immensely, causing alternate story lines to spawn based on your actions as well as setting up competing city gangs who need to be kept under control.
Of course all the villains from the movie will be included, we can expect Venom, Goblin, and Sandman. They also promise to bring in a few other Spider-Man bad guys who aren’t in the movie, just to keep things interesting.
The trailer above leaves me with very high hopes for this game. More than anything, I hope they can find a good way of harnessing the Nintendo Wii controller for even more engaging game play.
But, hey who am I kidding, let me swing around New York city as Spider-Man and there really doesn’t need to be much more of a point in the game than that…
