Check out this trailer for the new LucasArts title, Indiana Jones: Staff of Kings!  Release date is still TBA.

Codemasters has produced Dirt 2 - another crash-em-up, smack you in the face title.  If you ever played the original Dirt title, you know what I mean.  I don’t believe that Dirt was ever released for Wii (I’ve only played it on XBox), but it’s a great game nonetheless.  We should be seeing Dirt 2 sometime in September of 2009.

Check out this trailer:

Using the Wii Balance Board and Wiimote/Nunchuk combo, you climb a rock wall.  It’s as easy as that.  At the Game Developers Conference that just happened, the Rock and Roll Climber game was previewed.  The weirdest part?  As soon as you negotiate the wall, the character grabs a guitar out of the ground and pulls off a heavy metal lick.

Well, that’s - um - hey cool!

The interface looks pretty cool - the Balance Board detects balance shifting, and the climbing controls look interesting.  I’ll reserve judgement.

Thanks, Kotaku!

One of my absolute favorite titles ever is Call of Duty - World at War.  I got this for Christmas from my sister, and after I got my butt kicked through it twice, I discovered online play.  I love online play - and this game is exciting.

I just read an article saying that Call of Duty - World at War just sold over a million copies, which isn’t completely verified yet, but WOW.  That franchise is quite possibly one of the best ones out there in the war-shooting-battle category.  What you got for us next, boys?

Thanks, GoNintendo!

Holy crap - Space Invaders!

When I was a kid, I had Space Invaders on my Atari 2600 and a trackball controller.  I played this game for hours.  According to GoNintendo, it’ll be here in May - but no one knows the cost yet.

<shakes fist at the universe>

I just read about a new Wii light gun - the Dark Ops Wii Light Gun from Cobalt Flux.  It looks nothing like anything that’s out there right now, but it’s certainly got its own flair and coolness about it!

From the Cobalt Flux website:

• Preserves independent use of the nunchuck. Lets you play every game with a gun!
• Ergonomic Pistol Grip sits comfortably in your hand.
• Full Access to all the buttons on the Wii remote.
• Lock ‘N Load - Easy loading and unloading of Wii remote - loads like a clip.
• Double grips for one or two handed action.
• Great styling to match any game.
• Fresnel light-bending technology let’s you aim the gun instead of the remote.

It’s something I’d like to check out, as I very much enjoy the FPS games!
