Wii News
The good news for Wii's standing keeps on coming. Fist, Hideo Kojima apparently would "run away from MGS4" for a chance to work on a Wii game. And there's hints of some more hardware secrets in store for the little console that could. The latest theory is a built in dedicated physics engine, fueled by this quote from IGN's interview with Konami ( Read more... ) -
Numbers and Stars
I doubt anyone will really care, but I just went through and retrofitted my reviews with a five-star rating system instead of the 10-point (really 20) system.

Weekend thoughts

Revogames
So it looks like the first few Revolution games are being announced, and developers aren't shying away from creativity. Red Steel uses the controller as a gun, which can apparently be held sideways for more street-style killings. Also, it looks gorgeous. Then there's Sadness, which will take place primarily in black and white. Very interesting, I'd
