The Financial Times this week reported that Nintendo Co. rejected camera-based technology for motion control implementation in the Wii console. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said the company developed games controlled by camera-based sensors but received better results using accelerometers eventually utilized in the Wii hardware.

And its build quality is decent—it doesn't feel cheaper than a Dual Shock or SIXAXIS.

Glancing at the shelves of your local game retailer will reveal a tsunami of limp and lazy shovelware made to promote the latest movies and television shows. More recently however, a handful of developers have eschewed the usual limitations associated with the creation of licensed games to produce titles which enhance their respective franchises instead of leaning on them. Starbreeze Studios' 2007 take on The Darkness proved that an existing license could be crafted into a highly atmospheric and exhilarating game that stands up on its own merits.

I am finally reviewing the game which has been taking up almost all of my spare time for the past month - Unreal Tournament 3. Having missed the game completely when it first came out (even though I was a fan of the original on both the PC and Dreamcast), I was finally persuaded to take the plunge by the promise of a much-needed update adding Trophies and splitscreen, and by the addition of the Titan Pack.

2D fighter fans, rejoice! It’s not been officially announced as of yet, but it would appear that PS3/360 2D fighter BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger is launching this July; and that’s not all! Not only is the game coming to America surprisingly close to its Japanese release date (this June), it’s also getting its own personalized HORI fighting sticks for Playstation 3 and XBOX 360.
