Donkey Kong Country Returns – Hands-on Impressions: PAX Prime 2010
Donkey Kong Country Returns debuted at this year’s E3 with a wave of nostalgia attached. The first new game for Donkey Kong in years and the first non-Metroid Prime game by the acclaimed Retro Studios, can the game live up to years of expectations? I was able to get hands-on time with one of the [...]
Disney Epic Mickey – Hands-on Impressions: PAX Prime 2010
Disney Epic Mickey is the brainchild of acclaimed game developer Warren Spector, best known for the Deus Ex series on PC. Here he’s taken his style of design and placed it on the most iconic of characters in Mickey Mouse. Does the meshing of designer and character work for the best? I got a guided [...]
Kirby’s Epic Yarn – Hands-on Impressions: PAX Prime 2010
Kirby’s Epic Yarn made a huge impression when it was shown off for the first time at this year’s E3 conference. With its unique look and gameplay elements, it seems to continue Kirby’s tradition of changing up the platforming genre as he did in Kirby Canvas Curse for the DS. At PAX 2010 the game [...]
Sonic Colors – Hands-on Impressions: PAX Prime 2010
Sonic Colors started out as the offshoot cousin to Sonic 4, the Xbox Live Arcade/PlayStation Network downloadable game that seems to take Sonic back to his Genesis roots. Yet as time has gone on, it feels like Sonic Colors has become the real Sonic game of this fall, and at this year’s PAX, I [...]
PAX Prime 2010 – Rock Band 3: Hands-on Impressions
Rock Band 3 seems to be the game to push the music game genre forward. With new instruments and even more songs to play, it seems to want to refine rather than redefine a genre. I was able to get some play time with Rock Band 3 at PAX to see if that held true. [...]
Nintendo’s Epic Mickey Intro
Empire has brought us a first look at Nintendo Wii’s upcoming game Epic Mickey, set for a November 19 release.

On the heels of announcing Super Mario Galaxy 2′s release date, Nintendo announced another stellar title from their bottemless coffer of money-making titles: Metroid: Other M. That’s right, another Metroid title from the Big N. Delving further into the story of Samus Aran’s space-hopping, bounty-hunting tales, the trio of developers – Nintendo, Team Ninja, and [...]
Wii – Red Steel 2 Trailer
Debuted at E3 2009, Red Steel 2 is the numbered follow-up to the lackluster 2006 Red Steel for the Nintendo Wii. While the wait has been long since the E3 debut, the good news is that there’s a brand new trailer showing off what Red Steel 2 is and, more importantly, what it isn’t. Red Steel 2 has [...]
