Rockstar's latest open-world title, Red Dead Redemption is nearing its May 18 release date and looks to be shaping up into one of the studio's finest. Instead of serving up fans another Grand Theft Auto title, Rockstar made the wise decision to switch from urban life over to something much more rural. Fortunately, while the environment may be different, Rockstar's charm and talent still appear to shine through with Redemption. What also appears to remain true with this title is Rockstar's dedication to bring fans ambitious new content that seeks to expand the experience. Find out what kind of additional content is planned for Redemption after the cut.
Better late than never? Or too little, too late?
A worthy RPG that takes time to get into.
This week's Nintendo Download brings something a little bit different to the mix: downloadable WiiWare demos. Who would have imagined, right? The demos available thus far are BIT.TRIP BEAT, FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: My Life as a Darklord, NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits, World of Goo, and this week's new release, Pokémon Rumble. And speaking of Pokémon Rumble, members of Club Nintendo will be able to unlock an exclusive Toy Pokémon character for use in the game. Virtual Console has two classics in Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures for the Super NES, and yet another version of Street Fighter II, this time for the Turbografx. At least it should make a decent companion for last week's release of Fighting Street. And finally, DSiWare has a triple threat of a new Art Style program, Arcade Bowling, and Robot Rescue. For more details on each of these titles and the demo downloads, check out the full press release after the cut.
It's been a little while since we last checked in with the Rabbids in their bid to make their way "home" to the moon with every piece of human junk they can lay their hands on. Let's see how they are progressing. Hmm, it looks like they're trying to find alternate means to reach their destination, and are employing the use of an unidentified flying object. Wait, Rabbids in a UFO? Something tells me this won't end well. And possibly in fire: Oh my... how awkward. Kudos to Ubisoft for bringing back the spots where the Rabbids are spliced with real live-action footage. More after the cut.
Last week's Nintendo Download brought us Contra ReBirth; could anything possibly top that this week? Well, probably not so much, but this week's offerings aren't so bad, either. DSiWare has two interesting offerings: one is Art Academy: First Semester for 800 DSi Points. Unlike the typical entries in the genre, this one is more about teaching you the nuances of painting on a canvas. But if art isn't your thing, then the run-and-jump action of Oscar in Toyland, also 800 Points, might be more your style. WiiWare has a triple threat of the 600 Wii Point Texas Hold'Em Poker; the 800 Point Mart Racer, in which you race through super markets with shopping carts; and the 800 Point Spaceball: Revolution, which sadly has nothing to do with the Mel Brooks film. Finally, the Virtual Console sees an update for the NES in the form of Crash 'N The Boys Street Challenge, a sort of rough'n'tough street-style sports game for 500 Wii Points. Find out more about each title in the press release after the cut.
