Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword announced along with vastly improved Wii interaction
Posted on June 15, 2010 | No Comments
Here we go: another E3, another Zelda. The latest in the Zelda canon is Skyward Sword, a MotionPlus compatible game that mimics the experience of holding a sword and a shield. Link's on-screen actions mimic your actions completely including the motion of a shield in front of you.
Basically this is a more precise version of the previous Zelda Wii interface. With so many people trying so many motion controls, however, I wonder how exciting this will be in context.

Blizzard starts selling in-game pets for real world money
Posted on November 4, 2009 | No CommentsReally big World of Warcraft news today, friends. (Why do I write so much about WoW? Oh, you know, it's just the biggest, most successful MMO in history.

Posted on July 3, 2009 | No Comments
Look at that man. He seems to really be enjoying himself. Soon you'll be enjoying yourself like him too if Sony ever figures out how to manufacturer this motion control system that I'm code-naming "WeebleDong."

Italy's Nihoto fixes all that with its new line of accessories that do indeed work with the Wii Motion Plus.

I’d submit that it needs some sort of handsome leather sheath, but other than that it looks perfect for just about [...]
