Normally the moment anyone mentions a plane sim our eyes glaze over and we desperately search around the room for someone else to talk to. So, when Codemasters told us we could have an in-depth hands-on with it's all-action flight-sim Heatseeker, we couldn't help but think the worse. However, from the moment we grabbed the Wiimote and started wiping out bogies like a mum cleaning up a kid with a cold we realised Heatseeker isn't your average flight-sim - it's Burnout with wings.
In fact it's worth disregarding the word 'sim' entirely because Heatseeker is an arcade experience to the core. It takes its inspiration from classic fight 'n' flight games like Afterburner and focuses purely on action, rather than recreating a faithful flying experience. As a result Heatseeker feels like no other flying game we've played - it's more about stylish kills and taking down entire fleets of enemy aircraft as quickly as possible.

Smealum posted a new release of his game for DS:
Heres the info:
Demonstration! As promised, even if I did not succeed in respecting my times and that I have a whole heap of things to make, here small a demonstration which shows a little all that was made. That remains however at a stage rather not very advanced, therefore do not expect any much... It is ugly, I acknowledge it, the framerate is not stable, the limited IA, the horrible jump... But that will come all that, that will come...

New release from Indecisive and Kitsuta :
These are two early (and short) demos for a point and click adventure game Kitsuta and I are working on. It's our first game for the DS. Only tested on emulators and GBAMP as that's all we have.
The first file is a much earlier demo, the other has elements of the eventual storyline incorporated into it.
Controls –
The SceneDemo just uses the stylus.
ScriptDemo uses buttons too; d-pad left switches to “Interact” mode, d-pad up switches to “Walk” mode, and d-pad right switches to “Look” mode. The left shoulder button brings down the top screen so you can interact with your inventory, etc.

It's a Wonderful World just keeps getting more wonderful, and, um, worldly. Now in addition to the graphic style, we're hyped about the gameplay! Jeux-France has posted some scans of the game in action, highlighting the touch-screen weapons system, which uses badges to assign different attacks.
The attacks shown include Patrol Shot, Piercing Shot, Black Hole, Burst Shot, and Velocity Crash. All of these attacks are done with stylus gestures. The scans also state that part of the game takes place in Shibuya, making the game even more Jet Set Radio-like than we thought.

If you're going to do a jigsaw puzzle (or ten), then why not learn the details of a great masterpiece of art at the same time? We're not saying this DS puzzler is educational or anything, but it probably can't hurt. This is probably another of those games it's safe to import regardless of your comfort level with Japanese, and a great idea for the touchscreen

Even though the DS is already blessed with a large and varied library of great titles, its hard not to wish for the games that should be, and the games that probably will never be. Nintendo's little white pandora's box of quirky interfaces seems destined to forever remain pregnant with possibility, no matter how creative the developers get. To vent their desires, Pocket Gamer has assembled a canon of forgotten gaming heroes and oddball fancies that would make a good fit for Nintendo's dual-screened play thing
Heres the list:
A LucasArts adventure game collection
Okami DS
Pilot Wings DS
Sketch Fighter DS
A board game compendium for big kids?
Mario Paint DS
Donkey Kong DS
Anima Wars
GoldenEye DS
Marble Madness DS
me personally i want C&C Red alert on DS

In support of Wii's technical ability, Geoff Thomas, producer at Radical Entertainment told CVG that Nintendo's console can pack a fair punch in the graphical department.
Speaking about his latest project, Scarface: The World is Yours, being reworked for Wii, Thomas said: "The Wii has a lot of horsepower under the hood and we're making full use of it.
"We've overhauled our graphics engine to get the most out of the console by updating all of the shaders responsible for rendering the environment, vehicle, and characters. In many ways Scarface looks sharper on the Wii than it does on the PS2 and Xbox."
Many gamers have expressed concerns over the visual quality of the current run of Wii games which look no better than GameCube games.
It's true that some Wii games have been visually underwhelming, but having played Super Mario Galaxy with its awesome textures and large, detailed worlds, we're certain the Wii's full potential is yet to be unlocked.
The motion-controlled Wii version of Scarface: The World is Yours is due to hit shops in Summer.

Press release:
System 3 again delighted video game historians when it today announced the re-launch of the classic Epyx Commodore 64 title, Impossible Mission, with some special enhancements for the Nintendo DS™, PlayStation®Portable, PlayStation®2 and Nintendo Wii™.
It's hard to believe that it was twenty-five years since the original release. Impossible Mission was the first game to use real synthesized speech, an incredible development when first unleashed on the 8-bit formats. The original game included a random game-map system which ensured that no two games were the same. Although the original still stands the test of time today, inclusion of brand new graphics and sound ensures that Impossible Mission is primed to thrill a brand new audience.
The gamer takes the role of a secret agent attempting to stop evil genius Professor Elvin Atombender who has been tampering with National Security Computers. Players must penetrate Atombender's base, attempting to recover parts of the system password whilst avoiding deadly robots in a race against time.
Whilst the game has been re-written from the ground up and features new graphics, 3D objects, new Sound Effects and Music the gameplay remains impressively loyal with the game layout changing for every new game. There are now three main characters to choose from plus a brand new tutorial mode. The player can now chose from three game modes, new, original and for the purist; a hybrid mode with the original gameplay using the updated graphics.
The PSP versions offer an unusual feature which allows players to send a full copy of their game to a friend by Wireless so they can try it for themselves.
"We've worked hard to bring Impossible Mission up-to-date whilst keeping the original gameplay that made the game such a hit in the eighties", commented CEO, Mark Cale, "We're particularly pleased with the handheld versions which will ensure this historic game can be enjoyed by a completely new generation of gamers".
Impossible Mission is part of the Epyx back catalogue and will be available Quarter Two.

Vivendi Games’ Sierra Entertainment division is bringing Scarface™: The World Is Yours, the smash-hit video game based on the 1983 classic film by Universal Pictures, to the Wii™ console this summer. The game, which presents a sequel storyline that asks “What if Tony Montana survived the mansion shootout?” has already sold more than 1.5 million copies worldwide on other platforms.
Scarface: The World Is Yours for Wii will include graphics and gameplay optimizations, an all-new control scheme that takes advantage of the Wii console’s unique motion-sensitive Remote and Nunchuk controller design, as well as other alterations for the Wii audience.
Scarface: The World Is Yours was created through a licensing agreement with Universal Studios Consumer Products.
“Bringing Scarface: The World Is Yours to Wii is an exciting opportunity to take an already amazing game and add an incredible twist, thanks to the Wii console’s unique Remote controller abilities,” said Cindy Cook, chief strategy and marketing officer for Vivendi Games. “Adding motion-sensitive elements to a game that already includes an incredible celebrity cast, Hollywood production values and non-stop action, delivers a gaming experience unlike any other, truly bringing the world of Tony Montana to vivid life.”
Scarface: The World Is Yours plunges players deep into the seedy underbelly of 1980s Miami as the one-and-only Tony Montana, featuring the likeness of Al Pacino. Players are challenged to re-enact the climactic mansion shoot-out from the original film, but in the game, Tony fights his way out of the mansion and survives. Returning to Miami, Tony must rebuild his fallen empire and wreak vengeance on his enemies.
Scarface: The World Is Yours delivers a Hollywood-quality cinematic experience in a video game, effectively bringing Tony Montana to life through unprecedented casting, leading technology and renowned Hollywood partners. The game has secured a triple-A voice cast of more than 50 celebrities from movies, television, sports and music and boasts a soundtrack of more than 120 licensed music tracks from the 80s and today, as well as the original motion picture score by Giorgio Moroder. In addition, Sierra Entertainment partnered with legendary Hollywood companies to create the feel of a sequel film in a video game, including working with Skywalker Sound to mix all in-game audio and partnering with Prologue Films for to create a gripping opening title sequence.
Scarface: The World Is Yours for Wii is expected to be available in summer 2007. For more information about Scarface: The World Is Yours, please visit the game’s official Web site at www.scarfacegame.com.

GamePro investigates continued soft demand for PS3s months after its release. More interesting from the article, however, is this little allegation by one anonymous retailer concerning Nintendo's supply (or lack thereof) of Wiis: "I'm not going to deny that there's an amazing demand, but Nintendo's supply chain could be a little better," says the unnamed manager.
Pointing out the obvious, manufacturers don't like sitting inventory because it loses them money. But the observation that Nintendo might be a little slow to replenish supply in an effort to further swell demand isn't outlandish. They've got plenty of hype, so who's to say they couldn't exploit the situation a little to their advantage? And who would know when a large part -- if not all of the demand -- is legit?

Nintendo's Wii console will outship and outsell the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 throughout 2007 and 2008, according to market research firm IDC.
But although the Xbox 360 has enjoyed a full year's head start over rivals, and the Wii is likely to perform well over the next two years, the company believes that this home console cycle will see no clear-cut dominant hardware.
"IDC believes hardware shipments of Nintendo's Wii will capture a little more than a third of the worldwide market by 2008, rising slightly above Sony's PS3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360," reported the firm.
"Nintendo is the only one of the three manufacturers working to grow its accessible market for its hardware and software by broadening its audience beyond the traditional market," observed the company.
IDC believes that Nintendo will be responsible for capturing consumers new to gaming, while Sony and Microsoft continue the obsession with higher specifications and digital home entertainment packages.
Billy Pidgeon, program manager at IDC added: "With the Wii, Nintendo is abdicating the specification war, leaving Sony and Microsoft to slug it out between themselves for the hardcore market."
"We believe concerted efforts to broaden the appeal of videogames beyond the traditional enthusiast base will deepen the industry's penetration."
"This is good news for an industry that seemed to be receding last year due to over-saturation of the core base," he added.
