In case you missed it last year, Trine was a sweet little platform game for PC. Its controls aren’t as tight as Mario, I admit, but it’s still a “fun, magical-looking, and well-told game that’s easily worth the $20 sticker price.”

Since the PC is by far your second favorite platform, I thought you guys might enjoy it as well, especially the upcoming second game (shown).

Multiple sources today confirmed that Infendo.com has named the “personal computer” the best gaming system not made by Nintendo.

“I just sorta posted the poll on a whim, and the readers responded in-kind,” said Blake, Infendo publisher and chief Boss Hog. “We had like a bajillion respondents.”

In truth, only 524 readers participated as of today. But whatever.

When asked why the PC won, resident fanboy Jack explained (more…)

While searching online for more information relating to the new Pokémon series, White and Black, I came across a website called Pokemon Online. Pokemon Online is a downloadable program that allows you to have pokemon battles on your PC with people all over the world… according to their description.

This is the most up to date Pokemon Battle Simulator that allows a person to experience real time Pokemon battles against Pokemon players from all over the globe. Its created using the programming language C++ and its currenly running in beta stage.

The game play is not at all sophisticated but very much related to the original Pokemon game. Furthermore, it has got an explicit ranking system, tiers and a user friendly interface which fulfills the need of all the competitive players out there today. It even allows a player to battle and chat simultaneously.

It seems like a good idea, but I’m sure Nintendo will be shutting them down sooner or later. Yet, has anyone tried this simulator, and does it sound like something Nintendo should release themselves?

That’s the question IGN asked this week. And despite being a much more popular genre on HD consoles, columnist Michael Thomsen thinks shooters are better on Wii.

The simple act of moving in a Wii shooter has a slow gravitas suggestive of being in control of an actual human body and not a camera tripod on greased wheels… What [Wii shooters] lack in technical stature and one-sided nuance, they make up for with creative potential, and a richer palate of core mechanics that are so often totally ignored in dual analog shooters.

While I agree with what he’s saying, and I think Metroid Prime 3 controls like a dream, I’m not sure the overall experience is far more superior on Wii than dual thumb waggles. It’s just different. No?
