Cooking Mama Cook Off Metareview: Meh

The popular Nintendo DS game made its way to the Wii this week, and it seems that the reviews are kind of rocky. A moderate 66% at GameRankings makes me reconsider my thoughts to have purchased it this weekend. Blockbuster, here I come. I’d love to give it a whirl, since multiplayer looks like a [...]

Wii and GameSpy sitting in a tree

In a “What? What!? What!?!?” moment, today GameSpy has announced that they have entered into an agreement with Nintendo to provide multiplayer matchmaking services for the Wii Platform. If you aren’t aware, GameSpy offers a game matching service for the PC (mainly) that parallels much of what Xbox live does.
