Brad Agdern sent in news that Activision has offered a complete $132 refund for Guitar Hero III for the Wii or a remastered replacement disk for folks that were put out by the audio on the Guitar Hero III not being Dolby Surround even though it was advertised as such. A pretty nice move considering the [...]

Suh-weet. For the folks out there <cough>me</cough> that had a NEO GEO and fell in love with the arcade stick that it had, you can rejoice in knowing it will be coming to the Wii shortly. I’m not sure there are fighters on the Wii and VC that are so badass that the NEO GEO stick is [...]

Johnny Lee is at it again. We blogged about his first invention (using the IR-sensing capabilities of the Bluetooth Nintendo Wii controller), which was a Minority Report-esque multi-touch display that you could manipulate with your fingers. Now it looks like he’s refined his ideas a bit further. Modifying a typical Bic Pen to include a power [...]

Johnny Lee is hardcore. Using the LED-detecting ability of the Wiimote, combined with some reflective tape on his fingertips along with a LED panel, he was able to create an interactive field that he can manipulate with his two fingers.

VoodooExtreme reports that the BBFC has banned the sale of Manhunt 2 in the UK… the last time this happened was in 1997 when Carmageddon was banned (then later overturned). VE asks if Rockstar has gotten ahead of themselves with the whole “violence is awesome” card, and I have to agree. There are all sorts of [...]

 Kotaku reports that there are rumors the new RE: UC may include co-op. Kotaku says “nay” to the rumor of the co-op, and I would normally agree except the game has already been shown to be a “rails” game… meaning you don’t control movement. So I see no reason you couldn’t have a co-op experience with [...]

The GameSpot crew got some time to play the new Resident Evil on the Wii, and what they found out is that it’s a “on rails” (meaning you don’t control movement, like from the old Sega arcade-shooter games and you progress by killing baddies but the camera will swing you towards the action and make [...]
