Gremlins game would have been a squad-based shooter
Gremlins are cute on their own, but in packs, they can be more terrifying than a horde of undead headcrabs, which may explain French developer Neko Entertainment's decision to make its early-2000 PS2 Gremlins game a squad-based shooter. Unfortunately, Generation 2000 has trouble distingui...
Kinect and GameStop team up for midnight launch madness
If you can't make it to the Times Square launch of the Microsoft Kinect this Wednesday evening, perhaps your local GameStop will be offering a similarly scintillating launch experience?

Leaked UK retail list raises questions
Nanostray 2 ... on Wii? Orb, Thorn and Midnight all coming this year? When they leak retail information sheets in the UK, they do it right. Wii UK got their hands on a retail list (origin and destination unknown) with few concrete dates and a lot of unexpected, and even unknown games, as well as a f...
Darkness renamed Midnight [update 1]
Accordingly to all reputable sources, the game-formerly-known-as-Darkness is, at the very least, still a year off from release.

It's finally here: Nintendo Wii Fanboy Times Square Footage
Sorry for the delay, folks! You know how those Mac users always muck things up, them and their video editing and whatnot.
