Turn Me On – Console Wars

October 5, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3ZxW93XjFc This is a parody of Nicki Minaj. I do not believe I’m familiar with the original but believe I’m in the demographic The Warp Zone are aiming for with this video. The question they ask is; which console would you pick? I’m not sure but approve of Ryan Tellez’s Borderlands t-shirt. The YouTube credits […]

Before Rabbids – the Rayman Origins

November 21, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

No question; the Rabbids were one of Wii’s most important successes. They had crazy, cute and fun party games that were easy to pick up, laugh at and either put down when the beer ran out or get obsessed by a play all night. That’s gaming perfection. The Rabbids, though, are a spin-off. They came […]

Sneaky robot controlled by Wii remote

June 9, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This robot isn’t part of Nintendo’s Wii U news. The first thing you’ll be invited to do is try and spot the robot on a table of items. Yes, one of those items just happens to be a Tachikoma. Okay, sure, we’re talking about a pretty basic robot but it is controlled with the Wii […]

E3: Nintendo announces the Wii U

June 7, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Project Cafe, Nintendo’s next generation console, has a name – It’s the Wii U. My hopes are dashed. The controller will not be a portable console and it will not have location based gaming.
