I am rather disappointed at Nintendo’s announcements this year. Its major hardcore games are just sequels, Super Mario Galaxy 2, New Super Mario Bros Wii, Metroid Prime Other M. It’s hard to get excited about these franchises even if they are as brilliant as Super Mario Galaxy was. Adding...

Modern Warfare 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed and commercially successful COD4:MW which was developed by Infiity Ward in 2007.

It’s a fighting week here at Game Releases. In the Blue corner for the HD console generation there is UFC 2009: Undisputed on the PS3 and 360. I didn’t even know about UFC until a few months ago when i visited a friend’s place and he was watching a fight on satellite (aka dreambox)...
