Explodemon! The New Animal-Collecting Craze?!
(http://theawesomer.com/photos/040209_explode_t.jpg)
-- No, not quite. Though, as a lover of these kinds of games, it's not hard to appreciate what Curve Games Studios is pulling out. Explodemon is a 2.5D action-platformer which is to be brought to WiiWare, Playstation Network and PC, hopefully sometime this year. The developers have described Explodemon as a love letter to anyone who cherished the Japanese action-sidescrollers characteristic of the Super Nintendo era, noting the game as a mixture between Half-Life 2, Mega Man, Super Metroid, Street Fighter II, and Halo. Players will be able to detonate the character, solve physics-based puzzles, and rofl at the typos in the dialogue, which have been placed there deliberately. This be one to keep an eye on!
Final Fantasy - Guaranteed More Fantasies To Come!

-- Get back in that old RPG mood, FFXIII is on the horizon... keeping in mind it's coming to 360 and PS3. The demo is all set to hit the Japanese online market sometime this week, but for the rest of the world, we'll just have to wait. The demo plays through roughly the first hour of the game, where the players sink their teeth into some spastically-designed futuristic world, with a returning real-time battle system and a story so ridiculous you'd need thirteen play-throughs to understand it properly. Players take control of multiple characters, including a hot brunette dubbed Lightning, who is required to bring down the city of Cocoon, against her own will, for some reason. Rest assured, !@#$%'s gonna get crazy.
Trains Make a Choo-Choo Noise!

-- I'm fully aware that we're a Zelda forum, which makes me feel somewhat lazy not to have posted a news article detailing the new Zelda game in some way. Rest assured, I am actually good at this news thing. I'm not bad at what I do! Anyhow, those with memories spans shorter than their fish-sticks surely won't remember the new Zelda game announced for Nintendo DS at GDC '09. Well, there's a new Zelda, dubbed "Spirit Tracks", where you drive trains. There's not much else to derive from the trailer, except that you can command those phantoms from the last game that were so pissed off at you for going into their temple. Other features include some kind of retarded gun that fires tornadoes, or something, I don't know.
Oh, and don't forget...
-- Wii has a storage solution, FINALLY. Feel free to connect your white boxes to the interbutts and get that update-thingie. It lets you run shizzle from your SD-pizzle.
-- Assassin's parkour 2 is made official, there's a trailer somewhere. Whoop-dee-doo.
-- Picked up a DSi yet? 'Course you haven't. Well, they're out if you want one.
-- March is gone and done, and April hasn't given much yet. For those still in the March spirit (?), you can express yourselves wildly in the Wii's "mature" MadWorld, the DS' Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, the multiplatform Resident Evil 5... oh, and Pokemon Platinum, if you're that sort of person.
Guess The Game!
