Captain Rainbow’s Popularity Quest
August 19th, 2008 ThreeHeadedMonkey Posted in Wii | No Comments »
Nintendo’s bizarre looking Captain Rainbow is due out later this month for the Wii. The game looks to be something of an otaku’s dream with a cast of minor characters from old Nintendo games, such as Punchout and Zelda: Link’s Awakening. You have to help people achieve their dreams, which makes you more popular. The soldiers from Famicom Wars, for example want to become good at volleyball.

Bionic Commando Re-armed and Fable 2: Pub Games
August 15th, 2008 ThreeHeadedMonkey Posted in Xbox 360 | No Comments »
A couple of new titles hit the live arcade on Wednesday. Bionic Commando: Rearmed has a charismatic demo with in-game characters trying to pester you into buying the full version while your character stubbornly resists.
Fable 2: Pub Games looks pretty strong as well, and the idea of using your winnings in the full version of Fable 2 is certainly a good one. There are three games included - a nice original card game, a dice game with a roulette style board, and a slot machine type game. We enjoyed the card game, particularly in tournament mode, but didn’t really get to grips with the other two - perhaps their subtleties will be revealed with time.
