Sega is publishing Conduit

While this may not be major news persay, it seems intriguing at the least that Sega has decided to acquire publish rights of this game. This may be a very wise move on sega’s part. Promising to be the best FPS the wii has to offer, the game is coming along way from being the typical Halo wannabe to a rather distinguisable FPS classic. The action  and gameplay looks to be fluid, which isn’t too common in the FPS Wii gaming world.

For those who have been looking forward to the game (I am definitly) I am happy to say that the game should be available as early as next spring.

Super Mutant Turtle Bros.

What happens when you mix supreme turtleyness with the smash bros formula? No it’s not a Bowser vs. Squirtle death match. We’re talking about a new TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) fighting game made by game arts. Well not exactly, apparently Ubisoft was really digging to bring the Teenage mutant ninja turtles series to life because they combined Game Arts with Team Ninja (of Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive fame). Such a combination of talent making a fighting game is usually only made in dreams.

New Nintendo (mario) toys hit Burgerking

Recently to help advertise this christmas season, Nintendo has teamed up with Burger King to do several promotions. One such promotion is the advertisement of new nintendo themed Burger King toys. As all of us would know, most fast food promotional toys are on the cheap side (minus the completely awesome Wendy’s mario promotional). Never the Less while some of the figures are the traditional gimmicky paper bad eggs, there are alot of decently made nintendo figures that you may want to add to your collection.

Getting past the Doldrums

It’s about time the blog got a new entry, I’m hoping to start it back off on the right foot now. Okay so from what I’ve seen so far competition is great but spometimes I can see players get in the doldrums of repetitive play. What do I mean? I mean that there is no mindgaming or rather any new form of mindgaming. Ats stop as well as so does tactical play. Players even though they want to play in a competitive environment go for the same struts. It’s demeaning and sadly we all do it.

But how can we get past the doldrums of smash? One way is learning new advance techniques and applying them. Then there is learning different mind gaming tactics. For example, a Ivysaur player might be prone to always go for a razor leaf to grab combination…which is great but gets old fast. I’ve learned to change a razor leaf into 3 to 4 different attacks and fakes. Most of them wield less results than a side special grapple/dash attack combo but they do make me far less predictable. Now I know I’m still not the best player to be saying this but I’m just trying to make a point.

No Crates? That’s Great!
