May 2009 - Gaming Life

The Queen gets a new Nintendo Wii, but it's not the plastic white one that everyone else has. The Queen's new Wii is gold plated.

Her Majesty gets her own special Wii. THQ decided that when the Queen wanted a Nintendo Wii, they just couldn't send her a regular Wii like everyone else because she's royalty and not everyone is royalty. So, they coated on in gold for her.

Although, this big PR stunt is meant to promote the new BIG Family game, it's still pretty cool to see the gold plated Wii.

The BIG Family Games is the ultimate Wii game that is meant to get all the members in the family from the grandparents to the young children together, and since the Queen and the royal family is the most important one in, it only made since that they received the special Nintendo Wii and a copy of the game.

According to THQ, the Queen and the Royal Family can use the unique Wii to play 24 unique twists on the classic family games.

Wolverine the Video Game is Better than the Movie

May 13th 2009 18:30

The X-Man Wolverine movie has been fairly popular in the theaters, but the video game has been said to be much better than the movie... Not just one person has said it, but many... Even Hugh Jackman has given his approval to the video game. He even took some of the script from the game and brought it into the movie because he was so dazzled by it.

The video game vaguely follows the plot in the movie, but at the same time it really goes beyond the movie, expanding on various scenes from the film.

If you're in to bloody and gory video games, you'll find that in the opening, alone, you start the game with Wolverine using his Ginsis to butcher several soldiers, stabbing one through the skull and then going crazy stabbing the other two. That's definitely just the beginning of the blood and gore to the game, you'll see loads of shots sent through the air, stabs, blood, and severed heads.

You'll find that there is more X-Man lore in the video game. It's been reported that about 90% of what you see in X-Men Origins: Wolverine is featured in the video game, but that the events in the movie really only make up 50% of what's in the game. The video game is more of a savage adventure game, if anything.

There are more fights between Wolverine and his enemies, and the bigger fights are memorable with 300-foot tall bosses.

So, as you can see the Wolverine X-Men video game is rated Mature, which overpowers the PG-13 rating of the film. So, rent the game, buy it, you're choice... Just check it out for yourself.

Try the Wolverine: X-Men Origins in any of the major consoles including: Nintendo DS, Wii, PC, PlayStation 2 and 3, PSP, and Xbox 360. Also, make the choice between the standard or UnCaged editions.
