			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font color="#000000"><a href="http://www.gamecentral.biz/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/windowslivewriterharrypotterandthehalfbloodprinceallachie-c087harry-potter-hbp-4.jpg"><img height="138" alt="harry_potter_hbp" src="http://www.gamecentral.biz/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/windowslivewriterharrypotterandthehalfbloodprinceallachie-c087harry-potter-hbp-thumb-1.jpg" width="296" align="right" border="0"></a> In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. </font></p>
<p><span id="more-797"></span>
<p><font color="#000000"></font>&nbsp;</p>
<p><font color="#000000">Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn&#8217;t counted on Romilda Vane’s chocolates! And then there’s Hermione, simmering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">In the game of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, players will return to Hogwarts to help Harry survive a fraught sixth year. They will also have a chance to engage in exciting wizard duels, mix and brew magical ingredients in Potions class and take to the air to lead the Gryffindor Quidditch team to victory. Players may even get sidetracked by Ron’s romantic entanglements as they journey towards a dramatic climax and discover the identity of the Half-Blood Prince.</font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.gamecentral.biz/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/windowslivewriterpikminpokemonrevamptopnintendolineup-bdb2wii-2.jpg"><img height="178" alt="wii" src="http://www.gamecentral.biz/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/windowslivewriterpikminpokemonrevamptopnintendolineup-bdb2wii-thumb.jpg" width="300" align="right" border="0"></a> Nintendo has enjoyed tremendous success thanks to the forward-thinking innovations of its DS and Wii systems, but the company&#8217;s lineup is focused squarely on the past. The publisher revealed today its first-party and third-party lineup of Wii and DS games through March of 2009, with a scattering of revamps and remakes comprising the majority of its own games.
<p>For the Wii, Nintendo has only two releases planned, both remakes of GameCube games designed to support the Wii Remote&#8217;s motion-sensing capabilities. The self-explanatory New Play Control Mario Power Tennis and New Play Control Pikmin will both launch in March. </p>
<p><span id="more-796"></span>
<p>Nintendo&#8217;s DS lineup is a little more robust, spearheaded by the March 22 launch of Pokemon Platinum. Platinum reuses characters and settings from Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl in a franchise tradition dating back to Pokemon Yellow for the original Game Boy, a pseudosequel that incorporated elements of the previously released Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue.
<p>Beyond Diamond, Nintendo has two more DS games planned through March. Up first will be Personal Trainer: Math on January 12, an arithmetic addition to the practical game series that started with Personal Trainer: Cooking. Those looking for something a little more gamey can try Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon on February 16. The latest release in the turn-based strategy series will be a remake of the original NES Fire Emblem (which never made it to North America), with new touch-screen controls.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.gamecentral.biz/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/windowslivewriterreviewsshaunwhitesnowboardingroadtripwii-a79eshaun-white-snowboarding2-4.jpg"><img src="http://www.gamecentral.biz/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/windowslivewriterreviewsshaunwhitesnowboardingroadtripwii-a79eshaun-white-snowboarding2-thumb-1.jpg" border="0" alt="shaun_white_snowboarding2" width="318" height="212" align="right" /></a> Although they share Shaun White&#8217;s visage and a snowboarding theme, not much else ties Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip to its PS3/Xbox 360 counterpart &#8211; and that&#8217;s a good thing. While the more powerful console version looks arguably better, obtuse controls and a misleading map make exploring it feel like an uphill trek. For now, the underpowered Wii provides the best Shaun White experience.</p>
<p>As your close personal friend in the game, White has you racing to meet up with him and his friends as he jets Carmen Sandiego-like between exotic mountain locales around the world. When you first arrive at a hill, you can only compete in one event &#8212; it feels limiting at first, but the barrier to clearing each event&#8217;s low enough that you can easily progress through the main game thanks in large part to the excellent controls.</p>
<p><span id="more-719"></span></p>
<p>Whether you&#8217;re using just a Wii Remote or you&#8217;re lucky enough to shred on a Balance Board, the game&#8217;s responsive and consistent in pulling off tricks, spins, and jumps. Twisting the controller gently makes you spin through the air as you fly off cliffs, and quick flicks while holding A or B pulls off the more impressive stunts. After quickly acclimating to the different move combinations, you can consistently pull off exactly the tricks you want to do every time. I never felt like it was the game&#8217;s fault when I crashed: I knew it was because I&#8217;d committed to a stunt too late or was trying to land an obviously off-balance trick.</p>
<p>Grinds are a little too easy since you hop on rails automatically, but chaining them together with rail tricks feels satisfying and surprisingly natural. Overall, using just the Wii-mote feels a little more accurate, but the Balance Board provides a more realistic snow-shredding experience. Actual snowboarders might feel just the opposite, but if you don&#8217;t have a board already, this game gives you the perfect excuse to pick one up.</p>
<p>The single-player offering&#8217;s fairly short, but it&#8217;s got plenty of extras to unlock if you perform well in events, including new characters. Instead of changing snowboards, Road Trip lets you select a guy or gal from your roster that&#8217;s best suited to the challenge. That&#8217;s pretty normal, but what the game does differently (and effectively) is throw in the abilities of your cameraman. You have to select a second character (who will tag along and film you from behind); they power you up with a special ability as you fill your Respect Meter &#8212; accomplished by nailing tricks and collecting crown tokens scattered across each track. It might feel like a gimmick at first, but the longer you play, the more you rely on those abilities to boost your own skills just enough to surpass your previous best score.</p>
<p>Some of the powers are what you&#8217;d probably expect &#8212; speed boost, higher jump, etc. But others, like temporarily blinding your opponents, are designed squarely with multiplayer in mind. Multiplayer&#8217;s terrific (local play only, mind you), as the friendly controls make it easy to drag a group of friends into the game with you. You can go through a separate story mode cooperatively, compete head-to-head, or trade off taking turns in assorted events. Multiplayer sessions only allow for one Balance Board, but who has more than one anyway? It would&#8217;ve been better to tie the multiplayer and solo story modes together, but the game&#8217;s short enough that it adds a little extra life to the title.</p>
<p>Shaun White will probably draw comparisons to the Wii&#8217;s other snow-topped mountain experience, We Ski, but Road Trip throws out that title&#8217;s kiddy aesthetic for a cool anime look with a great licensed soundtrack. The game does so many things right, it&#8217;s almost hard to believe that the same company developed both this and its PS3/360 counterpart. I only hope that more companies will put the same time and attention into making their Wii ports such excellent (and in this case superior) standalone experiences.</p>

Wii Fit became a national phenomenon because it was seen as an easy and fun way to get fit.</p>
<p>Around 3 million units of the software and companion &#8220;balance board&#8221; hardware are expected to be sold by Nintendo in Japan this year, it said recently. Worldwide the company expects to sell 10 million units this year.</p>
<p><span id="more-709"></span></p>
<p>One other game, &#8220;Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G&#8221; for the PlayStation Portable, was among the top 20 in the ranking. The Capcom game is one of the most popular for handheld platforms in Japan and has sold more than 2.5 million copies since its launch in March. It was tied for 12th place with another local diet fad: a book that preached the values of keeping-in-shape by eating bananas for breakfast.</p>
<p>Following hot-on-the-heels and tied for 14th place was both a mobile PC and the iPhone 3G.</p>
<p>Japan was part of the simultaneous worldwide launch of the iPhone 3G on July 11 and the phone got considerable media coverage in Japan. It was the first time the iPhone was available here (the previous 2G version wasn&#8217;t compatible with Japan&#8217;s cellular networks) and some people began camping out several days before the phone went on sale to be assured of getting one. When sales began, parts of the launch were broadcast live on Japan&#8217;s morning TV shows.</p>
<p>The popularity of the mobile PC this year can be put down to low prices. Not only are computers like Asus&#8217; Eee PC redefining what consumers expect to pay for a laptop but machines are being offered for as little as 100 yen (US$1) by cellular carriers in return for signing a 2-year flat-rate data contract.</p>
<p>The unscientific ranking polled visitors to the Goo portal between Oct. 21 and 24.</p>

That stance has perceptibly changed with World Tour, due in part to the fact that Activision now has a studio whose professed purpose it is to create DLC for the rhythm-game franchise. Examples thus far released for World Tour include tracks from the likes of Jimi Hendrix, The Raconteurs, R.E.M., Boston, Foreigner, and Oasis.</p>
<p>Today, Activision laid out Guitar Hero World Tour&#8217;s DLC lineup for the month of December, injecting the game with a number of new songs from legendary rockers. Leading the show on December 4, The Smashing Pumpkins will reprise their on-disc performance of &#8220;Today&#8221; with &#8220;G.L.O.W.&#8221; from their new album, as well as &#8220;1979&#8243; and &#8220;The Everlasting Gaze.&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-679"></span></p>
<p>Nirvana will follow the Pumpkins on December 11 with its own three-song pack. The Nirvana Track Pack will include &#8220;You Know You&#8217;re Right,&#8221; &#8220;Negative Creep,&#8221; and &#8220;Sliver,&#8221; complementing the group&#8217;s on-disc track &#8220;About a Girl.&#8221; The Eagles will also return to World Tour with a trio of downloadable tunes, adding &#8220;Frail Grasp on the Big Picture,&#8221; &#8220;One of These Nights,&#8221; and &#8220;Life in the Fast Lane&#8221; to the main game&#8217;s &#8220;Hotel California.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Reggae Rock Track Pack will round out Activision&#8217;s offerings when it&#8217;s released on December 23. The pack includes three songs: Slightly Stoopid with &#8220;Jimi,&#8221; Pepper&#8217;s &#8220;Your Face,&#8221; and Expendables&#8217; &#8220;Sacrifice.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, and Eagles tunes will be available coupled together on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 for $5.49 (440 Microsoft points), or each song can be downloaded individually for $1.99 (160 Microsoft points). Wii gamers can pick up the songs individually for 200 Wii points ($2). The Reggae Rock Track tunes will be available as a free download on all three systems.

As part of a bevy of announcements, Atari announced this week that it would be bringing the second season of the downloadable, episodic adventure series Sam &amp; Max to stores around the world next year.</p>
<p>Season 2 sees the cuddly yet violent detectives investigate a giant robot attack on their beloved city, perform an exorcism on Santa Claus, and even visit Hell, a heavily bureaucratic limited-liability company. As part of the international release, Sam &amp; Max Season 2 will introduce full French and German translations to the episodes, as well as Spanish and Italian subtitles.</p>
<p><span id="more-678"></span></p>
<p>Season 1 of Sam &amp; Max also made it to stores for the Wii and PC, courtesy of Dreamcatcher, The Adventure Company, and JoWood Group. For those who don&#8217;t insist on a hard copy, all of Telltale&#8217;s Sam &amp; Max episodes are downloadable for the PC from the developer&#8217;s Web site and from the GameTap subscription service.</p>
<p>Sam &amp; Max aren&#8217;t the only cute critter additions to Atari&#8217;s lineup. According to a report in Variety, the publisher has picked up the just-released Tale of Despereaux games from the recently defunct Brash Entertainment. The Hollywood trade paper claims that Atari has snagged Brash&#8217;s rights to the PC, PlayStation 2, DS, and Wii editions of the movie adaptation, while leaving the Xbox 360 version on the shelf.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.gamecentral.biz/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/windowslivewritergenesimmonsaxeguitarforrockbandandguitar-ae14gene-simmons-axe-guitar-2.jpg"><img src="http://www.gamecentral.biz/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/windowslivewritergenesimmonsaxeguitarforrockbandandguitar-ae14gene-simmons-axe-guitar-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="gene_simmons_axe_guitar" width="206" height="245" align="right" /></a> Gene Simmons and the Interactive Game Group have come together to offer gamers the chance to play their very own &#8216;Axe Guitar&#8217; in Guitar Hero, or Rock Band. Gene Simmons commented on the videogame accessory adaptation of his iconic guitar:</p>
<p><em> “I never do anything half way. My AXE controller is the closest thing you can have to being onstage in KISS. I created and designed the Gene Simmons AXE bass guitar and I can’t wait for the fans to experience it for themselves. The Gene Simmons AXE guitar is such a recognizable symbol &#8211; people have been asking for a gaming replica ever since Guitar Hero was first introduced.”</em></p>
<p><span id="more-670"></span></p>
<p>This fully equipped, axe-shaped guitar controller is a replica of the KISS bassist and vocalist’s signature bass guitar. The AXE controller is personally certified by the Rock God himself, Gene Simmons, to give players that Rock Star experience. The wireless AXE guitar controller is a three-quarter-sized replica of the original Gene Simmons AXE guitar and larger than the standard video game guitar controllers. Customized with a replicated paint finish of the original guitar, the Axe guitar controller features Gene Simmons autograph and his photo in make-up painted onto the body of the controller. Interactive Game Group Founder, Fred Chesnais commented:</p>
<p><em> “Gene Simmons is the Rock Lord and the Gene Simmons AXE bass guitar is an integral part of his signature look. Bringing this Axe controller to life was an incredible journey, and I am sure every player will enjoy it.”</em></p>
<p>The Axe Guitar is available for PS2, PS3 and Nintendo Wii, but no love for Xbox 360 players and will retail at $79.99.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.gamecentral.biz/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/windowslivewriterreviewspaceinvaderswii-aecdspace-invaders-2.jpg"><img src="http://www.gamecentral.biz/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/windowslivewriterreviewspaceinvaderswii-aecdspace-invaders-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="space_invaders" width="311" height="233" align="right" /></a> As the second stage in the series&#8217; 30th-anniversary revival (following Space Invaders Extreme), Space Invaders Get Even turns the tables on the traditional franchise formula, putting you in the shoes (well, the saucer) of the titular invaders as you wreak havoc on Earth.</p>
<p>Get Even falls somewhere between overhead shooter and real-time strategy, as you&#8217;re not actually firing at the various structures and enemies that cross your path &#8211; rather, you&#8217;re instructing the iconic pixels to take down whichever target you specify with the Wii Remote pointer. Those little buggers can be killed in action, so you&#8217;ll need to occasionally shake the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to generate more, or unleash a screen-clearing special attack, which also replenishes your forces.</p>
<p><span id="more-668"></span></p>
<p>Each stage has a singular objective (destroy specific buildings, abduct all the cows, etc), and rather than assign your UFO a health meter, any hits taken simply deduct from the running timer (which doesn&#8217;t often provide a ton of wiggle room as it is).</p>
<p>The missions play out in an expectedly frantic manner, as you must find a balance between zipping toward the indicated objectives and downing enough extra buildings, turrets, and tanks to accumulate precious bonus seconds to stay afloat. So while Get Even&#8217;s a relatively simple experience, it&#8217;s not mindless &#8211; when I botched a stage, it was typically not a matter of bad luck or cheap foes, just poor strategy on my part.</p>
<p>Get Even&#8217;s cities are simple and fairly nondescript, but the game strikes a smart presentational tone, juxtaposing serious-sounding tunes with the obviously bizarre happenings, not to mention visual words of praise (&#8220;Cool!&#8221;) and amusing human radio transmissions (&#8220;Our forces are not equipped to take on 2D targets!&#8221;). Frustratingly, it comes at a higher cost than expected, as the initial $5 purchase delivers but a single three-stage mission (about 15 minutes of play).</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll have to shell out $5 apiece for the three additional mission packs (two complete missions apiece) to near the two-hour mark, but the immediate existence of such add-ons makes the original seem like a glorified trial &#8211; not to mention an exploitation of WiiWare&#8217;s simplistic, demo-free structure. That&#8217;ll understandably be a hurdle for some, but it&#8217;s a shame, as Get Even&#8217;s high concentration of amusing (and plain ol&#8217; fun) action might entrance even those unaware of its storied roots &#8212; if only for a bit.</p>

Sony alumn Phil Harrison recently took the reins of the beleaguered publisher, hoping to help turn business around. The recently-released Alone in the Dark Inferno on PS3 is the first step in a company makeover aimed at restoring the high level of quality we expect from this 30-year-old brand.</p>
<p>The company today announced its lineup of games due this coming spring 2009. There are a variety of console and handheld titles on the menu, suggesting that Atari will retain a broad publishing focus going forward. We are particularly interested to see how The Chronicles of Riddick and Ghostbusters turn out, after Atari snapped these franchises up in the fallout of the Vivendi-Activision merger.</p>
