"As we know, Ubisoft will be one of the most active publishers during the launch of Project Natal, the motion recognition device to Microsoft. If it was not until the heyday of E3 2010 before the Redmond company will launch an armada on its accessory called "revolutionary," we are now able to disclose proprietary information on a operator of the first games Natal.
According to our sources, the upcoming Ghost Recon: Future Soldier would be compatible with the device. A special game mode would therefore benefit from the recognition of movements, the aim being to keep the joystick in one hand and interact with the interface with your other hand. It is even possible to give orders through different types of movements directed by the wrist. You can imagine ... and we share your sentiment. "

Wow, that sounds horrible.
The IGN UK review says that the classic controller is the way to go?
^I'm imagining a REALLY bad interpretive dance. (Re: Natal).

From a story someone posted yesterday, "Official Xbox Editor Jon Hicks has told CVG that the mag will next month reveal the return of a "substantial franchise" - as an Xbox exclusive."
Okay, so running down the list of "substantial" franchises that were once XB exclusives and then later were not.
- Ninja Gaiden
- Dead or Alive
- Ummm... what else? Obviously games that are still exclusive don't count.
- Splinter Cell (never going to happen)
- Did Bizarre Creations ever cross over with Metropolis Street Racer?
That's all I can come up with.
You sure this guy wasn't talking about X-com?
Groaaaaan... yeah probably. I thought they meant a XB game that was returning as an exclusive.
So anyway, Dragon Quest X may be coming to Wii, at some point, but us Westerners don't even have Dragon Quest IX on the DS yet (though it's coming) and now Square goes and announces another Dragon Quest title for Wii. This one's not a mainline entry and is based on the arcade game series with the same name (there are two!) some sort of card battling video games. Andriasang has some details.
Square Enix announced today a Wii port of its Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road arcade game. The Wii version, based off the DQMBR II Legend sequel, will be named Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road Victory and will see release this Summer. Pricing has yet to be set.
Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road is a card-based arcade game similar in basic concept to Sega's Mushi King series. Players use physical cards to summon classic Dragon Quest monsters into battle. As of January, Square Enix has shipped 200 million cards for the game.
The Wii version will replicate the basic gameplay of the arcade version. Players will be able to compete in four player battles using a single Wii, and also take part in online battles via Wi-Fi. The Wii version is also getting a new "Tournament Mode" where you collect cards while facing off in battle against a variety of characters in a virtual town.
Yup, 200 million, that wasn't a typo, so I guess you could say it's rather popular over there. Here's a trailer of the second arcade game, which andriasang claims the Wii title will be based on. The animation is pretty freaking awesome if you ask me, which you shouldn't I guess.

Also, here's the official website, which should open shortly. Though, if this title is unplayable without cards, I suppose it won't make it over here, sadly.

while the pessimist fears this is true.

Just something interesting to note - I read that article about Korea inacting a gaming curfew for online gaming. If you weren't aware South Korea supposedly has the highest internet speed of any country in the world. The reason for it is education. The belief is that the higher the internet speed the more they will be able to process and ultimately it will benefit the nation.
Ironic that it has also contributed to rampant problems with online gaming addictions and even deaths related to that, but I suppose you can't make an omlet without breaking a few eggs.
It's a card game, and at the end of the day I don't care about card games. If I wanted to play those, I'd buy a deck of cards and hang out in a comic book shop (that's where most people around here play them at any rate). So yes it's a very pretty game, but all the flash in the world isn't going to change the core gameplay involving decks, card order, and stuff like that that just does not interest me.

No. Mouthbreathing, loudmouthed, bucktoothed preteens with a penchant for yelling "FAG!" at each other have become the dominant class in gaming now. They're the alpha males, and we're their bitches.

So who's the dominant class then?
Well that's unfortunate that the original Xbox Live is shut down as of today but then again I don't play any original Xbox games online anymore so, meh. At least on the positive side they say this will allow them to make enhancements to the current Live model so it should be interesting to see what these enhancements might be.
