It’s hard to tell at the beginning of the video, so watch all the way through. After seeing it, I’m going to say has PC the best graphics, Xbox 360 second best, and surprisingly the PS3 with the worst of the three. I wonder if these graphics can hold up against the new Modern Warfare Wii port…

New Super Mario Bros. Wii hit shelves yesterday, and is definitely at the top of my list of games to buy. With all the Modern Warfare 2, Left 4 Dead 2, and Assassin’s Creed II, it’ll be nice to give the Wii some attention and play a less bloody game. I doubt the mayhem level will change much though. With the new 4 player mode, I’ll be picking people up and intentionally throwing them down holes and into enemies, just to make sure I collect the most coins.

Evolution of Controllers Before you continue, I mean no offense to controller creationists. You may continue believing all controllers were made by the intelligent design of the almighty cloud dweller. Not even the Power Glove or original Xbox “fat” controller should shake your faith…

I love the NES controller, I enjoy the Wiimote/Nunchuk combo, and I hold my Xbox 360 controller even when my 360 is turned off. That being said, I think my favorite controller of all time has to be the Nintendo Gamecube controller.

Sure, Gamecube wasn’t the best console ever, but it was decent, still is, and the controller is amazing. Aside from the fact that it works with the Wii, the design and feel of it are perfect. The handles, the big shoulder buttons, the yellow nub, the smooth joystick, the huge “A” button, and even the unnecessary, but reliable D-Pad. Hate on Gamecube all you want; just leave the controller out of it.

Let’s hear what your favorite controller is in the comments. Check out the full picture below…

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m actually looking forward to this. Of course everybody loves the classic Super Mario Bros. This takes that and throws in new power-ups, multiplayer, new graphics, and an all new experience. Battling your way through the Mushroom Kingdom with your friends, fighting for coins and power-ups, Yoshi racing…Man, I want this.

It almost reminds me of LittleBigPlanet. You know, without the customization and level building. Imagine if Nintendo put in a level creator and some good online play.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is currently set for release sometime in the 4th quarter of 2009. That means soon.

Geek Deal Games Under $20

Gamestop is having a pretty big sale right now. You can get games like Street Fighter IV, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Bioshock, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, Madworld, and many more for only $19.99! Even more, they’re NEW, not USED! Aside from the NEW games for $19.99, other games like Assassin’s Creed is on sale for $14.99, Grand Theft Auto 4 for $19.99 and Fable 2 for $24.99.

I went over to Gamestop at 10AM this morning when they opened and picked up Bioshock, The Force Unleashed, and Street Fighter IV, all new, for $20 each. You can either go to a store, or order online at Gamestop.com. Also, google for some coupon codes to get free shipping and maybe even more discounts if ordering online. Hurry though, the deals are only good for a couple more days, and I’m sure NEW games at low prices will sell out fast.

UPDATE: Some of the $20 games are no longer available online, but are still on sale in stores. Specifically, Street Fighter IV is sold out on the website, but I just picked a copy up from the store less than an hour ago.

Here are two brand new gameplay videos for Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles! This game is a follow up to Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, and is also an “on rails”, arcade style shooter. You don’t control the characters movement, you just shoot, reload, pickup items, and use your knife. Perfect for the Wii and the Wiimote. Darkside Chronicles takes you through the stories of Resident Evil 2, probably the best Resident Evil game ever, and Resident Evil: Code Veronica. Check out another video below!

Decades after Link’s heroic quests, he’s stuck in a crappy cubicle, working a boring office job. It didn’t work out with Zelda, and his boss is an ass. At least he still has his legacy…and a Nintendo Wii.

So Nintendo took the classic Super Mario Bros. that everybody loves, and they made something new with it. Basically, this is Super Mario Bros., but you can play with 4 people, including yourself, all at one time. The graphics are updated as well. It’s pretty much the same as New Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS, which was a great game.

I think this game could actually be pretty fun. Having 4 people run through the levels of Super Mario Bros., all at once, fighting over power-ups and coins, throwing each other around, battling for the top score. It’s almost like a side scrolling Super Smash Bros.

The game definitely looks like it has potential. Check out the trailer and see for yourself.

This is the latest trailer for Capcom’s Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, from E3 2009. This game is the followup to Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, and takes us through the story of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica.

The graphics are updated and the game is “on rails”, but watching this trailer just gives me a nostalgia attack. Growing up during the “Playstation era”, Resident Evil, especially Resident Evil 2, is one of my favorite games of all time. Sure, it’s not a remake, like many fans want, but it’s enough…for now.

The Darkside Chronicles hits the Nintendo Wii sometime towards the end of the year!
