Japanese horror games love the Wii. For some reason, the family-friendly console has been a virtual Mecca for survival horror games and quirky fright-fests such asSilent Hill: Shattered Memories,Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, andJu-On: The Grudge. The latest game to join the flock isCalling, a first-person scare-em-up told from the perspective of four different characters. Having played a demo version of the game and enjoyed such classic Japanese tropes as fightening dolls and scary little girls, I can safely say thatCallingis quite a cool little novelty, even if its scares and gimmicks are corny as Hell....

Ray Gigantfollows the exploits of three super-powered young warriors striving to save the world from alien titans that have invaded the planet and destroyed most of its major cities.

It’s discounted until August 13th As a reminder,Donkey Kong(NES) is $0.30 on the Wii U Virtual Console. It’s the last game in theWii U Virtual Console Anniversary Sale, and the deal will continue until August 13th. Sadly, Nintendo hasn’t announced whether or not they’re going to continue the $0.30 promotion after this, but I think they would be missing out on a huge opportunity if they didn’t. Given their gigantic stable of first party games, some of which have aged worse than others, it would be extremely beneficial to make a big deal out of offering, say,Urban Championfor $0....

The easiest capture method I’ve ever used Creating and cutting videos can be extremely time consuming. For those who have been doing it for years, it’s like second nature — all of your advanced equipment ready to go, and all you have to do is press a button to have live audio and video running at a moment’s notice. But for everyone else, breaking into the streaming game can be daunting....

Poor Sazh. He got a raw deal from Square Enix. He got stuck a terrible name, some one-off Eddie Murphy mannerisms, and a battle stance so awkward that it was hard to look at. But he ended up being a pretty solid character anyway. It was like he took the crap he was dealt and made the best of it. But it doesn’t look like he’s doing much inFinal Fantasy XIII-2....

Double Fine’s newest game,Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster, is out today, which means if you know someone with a kid (or an adult who still acts like a kid), and that kid’s parents just happen to own an Xbox 360 and Kinect, you now have the perfect Christmas present for that child. Like the tv show the title is pulled from, there will be an emphasis on learning, except that it is interactive....

You’ll see it coming One of the most important rules in storytelling is to show, not tell. Actions speak louder than words because it’s more convincing to see somebody act out a storyline than to have them face the camera and recite every letter of their thought process. YetPersona 5, which is unanimously acclaimed for its writing, takes the most over-explanatory approach to storytelling I’ve seen out of any GOTY nominee from last year....

Grasshopper Manufacture and Digital Reality co-developed shmupSine Morato mix up the genre…or make us explode into flames over and over. We’re finally going to get our hands on this beautiful game on March 21, for the price of 1,200 Microsoft Points. Keep your eyes peeled in this new trailer forSine Moraas there’s some hardcore looking sh*t in there. A trailer video made up of a string of constant deaths might scare some off, but I feel like it serves as a warning, helping me come to grips with the fact that I’ll see many ship explosions....

Fishing is done at specific spots, not everywhere As Sonic zooms into a semi open-world adventure withSonic Frontiers, the “greatest hits” of the genre comes with it: which includes a fishing minigame. But given the historical significance (depending on who you ask) of Big the Cat, you could argue it actually fits here. Here’s a quick guide on how to approach fishing in the game. InSonic Frontiers, fishing has to be done at fish icons on the map So you can’t just get a special fishing rod item and fish anywhere on the map: but by that same token,the minigame doesn’t require you to get a unique fishing rod either....

Multiplayer impressions from the beta I’ve spent a few hours with theStar Wars Battlefront IImultiplayer beta, and, you know what? I wouldn’t mind playing for a fewmorehours rolling around as a droid or going HAM as Darth Maul. Shallow as the last game often felt, I stuck with it through every expansion and liked it as something to come back to whenever I needed a break from more demanding online shooters....
