Ok, whoa.  Deep Silver’s release of Cursed Mountain’s “Nightmare” trailer.

What do you think?  Release date is still TBA.

G4TV has a ton of screens for the up-and-coming Ghostbusters Wii release.  We only have about 6 months to wait!

Check them out!

High Voltage Software‘s The Conduit has been getting some incredible press lately.  The technology that has been created to work with Wiimotes and control is apparently pretty stellar, as are some of the mapping and rendering techs that have been used in the game.  Check out this video:

An article at BusinessWeek of all palces comments on the game and the technology:

So far, the game’s best feature are its graphics, which look great. We’re not talking Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 quality, but High Voltage’s (the developer) proprietary technology allows them to create a sprawling city environment with an impressive level of detail, including shimmering water, real time reflections and sweet fire effects. Aliens appear cool and menacing, with glowing eyes and large, contorted bodies. Weapons look great, as Ford can easily fire off a few rounds with his pistol before seamlessly transitioning to his assault rifle. Even better, the action moves at a brisk pace, with only a few hiccups when too many enemies clutter the screen.

Whoa.  This is coming out in Q1 of 2009.  And I will hopefully be playing it.

I guess we’re behind the times a little here, but GHOSTBUSTERS WII!!!!  Vivendi is releasing this game on June 16 of 2009, and you can guarantee that yours truly will be playing the heck out of this, as soon as it hits the house.  I found a trailer of it, below, and Amazon is pre-order selling now.  I know it’s Christmas and all, and it’s not coming out until next summer, but it’s Ghostbusters!

More games by Vivendi here – the Wii-only list is here.  There are so many good games listed for sale by Vivendi that I wanted to include all platforms.

A quick Ghostbusters description:

The Ghostbusters are back in an all-new story penned by the original creators, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis! With Manhattan newly overrun by ghosts and other supernatural creatures, it’s up to you to take on the role of a new recruit joining the original film cast of the famous Ghostbusters team. Equipped with a variety of unique weapons and gadgets, you will hunt, fight and capture a wide range of uncanny phantasms and demons in an all new funny and frightening battle to save New York City from its latest paranormal plague. Just remember to not cross the streams!

IGN had a post on a new character that’s emerging in the Fragile release in Japan in about a month.  From IGN’s post:

The big reveal for this latest update is a new character, Shin. The white-haired Shin is a young scientist whose genius has made him the target of envy from his peers. There’s a catch to his smarts, though. Shin’s not the talker. The catch phrase provided for him by Bandai Namco (each character has one of these) is “Words are really an inefficient means of communication.”

The actor playing Shin, Toshio Furukawa, should be familiar, if you ever played Metal Gear Solid (SNAAAAAKE!).  Furukawa played Roy Campbell and Jann Lee in Metal Gear Solid.  Namco Bandai has a good one on their hands.

Check out this Fragile trailer from Game Trailers:

I’ve seen a couple of very interesting commercials regarding this game.  Anyone play it yet?  Rayman Raving Rabbits looks like something I could be very addicted to!
