New Metroid: Other M trailer: Heavy on cinematics, light on gameplay footage
(Posted by: Harrison)
Last week, Gameshoe reported that the Nintendo/Team Ninja co-developed Metroid: Other M would only be shown behind closed doors for the press. Fans got their Mario Galaxy 2 trailer, but alas, only less than a dozen or so Other M screens were released. Although, courtesy of the interwebs, a beautiful, brand new Other M trailer has surfaced. The catch? Well, the trailer is lacking in any gameplay footage. So, sit back and enjoy Samus in all her CG glory.
Bigger is better: Nintendo DSi XL video highlights
(Posted by: Harrison)
Back in the summer of 2006, I was one of many to pick up the DS Lite. The new model was less clunky from the original and had a nice glossy finish that any handheld gamer would adore. Now, almost a year after the release of their last DS upgrade, the DSi, Nintendo is releasing the DSi XL in North America on March 28 (makes you think how many more acronyms will be tacked onto the DS in its life cycle). Nintendo was able to demonstrate the new model yesterday at their Q1 Summit Meeting. In the video, we are shown the XL in comparison with the DS Lite. That, and it's accompanied by a lovely British narrator. Enjoy.
I'm On A Mount - (WoW - Lonely Island Parody) (NSFW)
I stumbled upon this video this morning and had to share it. I love the Lonely Island stuff and even more so because it inspires fantastic parodies like the one above. (Caution: This is not safe for work)
Fable III: New development diary shows off gameplay footage and Peter Molyneux makes some big promises.

In a video shown at Microsoft's recent X10 event, Lionhead studios, headed by Peter Molyneux, talks about Fable III and even shows off some gameplay footage!
Fable III looks like it's shaping up to be a fantastic game. The story in the third game looks like it will take an interesting twist (you start out as king), and I really love the idea that everyone in the world will have custom weapons (Although Peter Molyneux is well known for making big promises and not really delivering on them). The ability to sprout wings could also have some interesting implications; even if it is based on extreme morality. It looks like Lionhead is set to deliver exactly what fans want; more gooey Fable goodness.

Mega Man Zero Collection trailer

Mega Man Zero Collection was recently announced a few weeks back but only for release in Japan on the DS. Why am I posting this video if it's possible that this collection may not be seeing a release outside of the Land of the Rising Sun? For starters, the Mega Man Zero line of games was known for its harsh difficulty and its detailed storyline featuring series protagonist, Zero. In addition, three out of the four titles in this collection were a few of my favorite games on the Game Boy Advance. Sure, the frustrating difficulty made me want to toss my GBA out the window like a hard throw to home plate, but I quickly regressed and enjoyed every bit of playing as Zero. Enjoy the video and do a little research of these titles. The Mega Man Zero series may have not sold well here in the States, but we should hope for a North American release on the DS. They're great titles and any Mega Man fan would be proud.
Views on video game journalism. Tommy Tallarico's take.
(Posted by Harrison)
As an aspiring student studying journalism, the video game industry has opened a lot of ears to those looking for a chance to cover a certain entertainment medium. Given how I am one of those few people who would love to cover all things not related to politics or law, video game journalism offers me and anyone who has ever picked up a controller a chance to voice their opinions without the boundaries of other niches.
Now, that's not to say that this type of journalism is dragging its own leg, but this medium has also become the center of both criticism and pressure from the online world. Print magazines such as Electronic Gaming Monthly and Official Playstation Magazine have all been laid to rest because of the growing interest in online publications. I could go on about this issue, but I will save that for when EGM makes its glorious return this spring. Until then, we must look at those who work within the industry are talking about concerning the state of video game journalism.
Tommy Tallarico, video game composer and one of the founders of Video Games Live, is one who is not unaware of the possibilities of video game journalism on the rise. The following video shows The Reboot chatting with Tallarico about the state of video game journalism and why negativity seems to be hurting it.
I also find it quite ironic how Tallarico states how copying and pasting news releases onto blogs and various video game sites degenerates the idea of journalism and researching for a story. Wow, makes me feel kind of embarrassed to post this now, but alas it's the message that counts. Enjoy.
