In a turn for the casual, EA recently announced their new All-Play initiative. Taking a stab at a more casual take on their popular sports games, the All-Play editions of the games will feature, as far as we can tell, pretty robust basic-gameplay modes, on top of a bunch of mini-games that actually look fun. [...]
Preview: SoulCalibur (XBLA)
After six minutes and three seconds, we’ve completed SoulCalibur yet again. The pencil-drawn endings, capped off with entering a trio of letters to initial our victory, are nostalgic enough, but the six glorious minutes of massacre a la Mitsurigi that took place prior has us in high-five mode. With SoulCalibur IV coming in a mere [...]
Diablo III Confirmed
Blizzard, after much speculation, finally confirmed Diablo III at their Worldwide Invitational event in Paris today. The last week or so saw an evolving splash page at Blizzard.com, as it changed from a solid surface to an icy-donut, prominently featuring glowing runes surrounding ominous glowing eyes. The resulting revelation was a fiery face. Fantastic. The [...]
New Prince of Persia on Nintendo DS
Coming in tandem with the “next-gen” version of the re-invigoration of Prince of Persia this holiday season, Ubisoft revealed a Nintendo DS incarnation of the upcoming platformer titled The Fallen King.

Rainbow Six Vegas‘ first 2007 map pack left a pretty sour taste in gamers mouths, as the ten dollar offering wasn’t particularly priced as well as they could be, especially when the content consisted of three maps. Still, the game was such a smashing success, folks paid for it, and loved it. Later, Ubisoft threw [...]

Trains in themselves are inherently boring, but add cards and a slow pace of progression to the mix, and we’ve got ourselves one yawn-eriffic sounding game you’d get stuck playing with the family on a Friday night. Somehow, though, Ticket to Ride manages to be an incredibly entertaining port of the tabletop classic, in which [...]

Gyrostarr, Reviewed [WiiWare]
High-Voltage software has already wowed us with their 3D engine tech demo, and made us drool with their announcement and gameplay trailer from the upcoming 3D shooter the Conduit, but today they have something else entirely for you on Nintendo’s WiiWare channel. That game is Gyrostarr. Gyrostarr is a 3D shoot them up that has [...]
Alone in the Dark now shipping!
Well the day has arrived, Atari’s Alone in the Dark should be hitting stores around the country as I write this. I’m quite excited to dig into this new entry to the series, as it’s really the game that started the whole survival horror genre as we now know it. Now a days flat shaded [...]
Browsing Around: Enter the World of Soul Eater
While browsing the vast recesses of the Internet last week I came across a show we immediately thought the readers of Nukoda should know about: Soul Eater, and thus far, this has been the best discovery since Death Note. Soul Eater is your typical Shonen comedy; young boys get nose bleeds when they see a [...]
