Justice League animation writer Dwayne McDuffie has penned the story for the brand new Justice League Heroes video game. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Zatanna, Martian Manhunter, and Green Lantern are confirmed playable, though the promise of unlockable characters might double that. Come on Hawk Girl!
Also check out a Teaser trailer from TeamXbox.

The screen shots make it look like a total knock-off of X-Men Legends, but considering how well those games did, thats not bad. Snowblind Studio is developing, and they’ve got a fairly good track record on action-RPGs. JLH is coming to the Xbox, PS2, and PSP this fall.

The title says it all. Namco/Bandai are producing a 3rd Person Shooter for the Xbox 360.
GameBrink has screens, and a torrent link to a video can be found on Xboxyde.
Its exactly what you expect: a totally rad looking giant robot shooting game.
Universal Century of course. No Seed or Wing for us.

As at least one person commented, the first issue felt like a toy commercial. #2 & #3 solved that problem.
Spoilers follow.

If you like your monkeys in a ball, then 4CR has some news for you!
Sega’s high-flyin’ and fast rollin’ primates will hit the PS2 and Gamecube once again later this year. Its an all out action adventure game this time, but monkey flight is still in the cards. Wonder if we’ll still have all those oddball minigames? Monkey golf was the cause of much anger and cursing on a game night not to long ago…

The first big hit for Xbox Live was FASA studios console adaptation of their hugely successful MechWarrior PC titles. Now dubbed MechAssault, it helped define the kind of gameplay Xbox Live became known for.

I see Majesco has a title called “MechAssault: Shadow War” coming to the DS. Now before I get too far ahead of myself, Rare has licensed some of their owned titles to THQ for publication on GBA, so its not without precedent. I just find the timing a little odd. Microsoft has denied up and down they’re doing a portable system, and the development in Oragami helps prove that. MechAssault 2 also kinda tanked, but that doesn’t mean Microsoft should be giving up one of its best franchises exclusivity.

Release date is set for late June 2006, but a quick google search shows no results for screenshots, announcements, etc… just pre-order pages at a dozen retailers. Is this title dead or alive? Hard to say, but if MA:SW makes it to DS, it’ll make a dandy title for online support.

This game is worse than bad. Its BORING. High marks for graphics, as its the first time I’ve seen the Donkey Kong Country characters done as proper sprites instead of 3D models, and it looks really nice.
Main game starts out kind of good, but gets old fast. The bonus games aren’t even bonuses. One is simple called “Battle Attack!” And no matter what, they all involve racing around 3 other monkeys faster than you are.

From the 7th to the 15th to the 21st
Its only another week, but New Super Mario Brothers is something we’ve waited for very patiently and we can wait a little longer. Not like there isn’t a stack of unplayed and incomplete games here at the Shipley compound…

thx mike!

Edit: OMG, Nintendo has update their site and it says May 15 again.

I stumbled on to this and thought “Hey, how did I miss this?” and then I checked the upload date it was only posted a few hours ago, so odds are you’re seeing it for the first time just like me.
