Wii Feature | Star Fox 64 - Virtual Console
The relationship between games and movies has always been a tense one. There's something almost violently alchemical about the way the two media usually react to each other. It's like getting hit by a yellow, piss-soaked snowball. Either element can be unpleasant enough on its own, but put them both together and something far more horrible happens. Games of movies, movies of games, they're both usually about as much fun as the death of a clown at a ten year-old's birthday party. But still we ...

Wii Feature | Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
In the long run-up to the release of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed this September, developer LucasArts has been making a big deal about how the star of the show will be the Force itself, cranked up to ridiculous levels and with no limits or constraints. Packed in along with that destructive awesomeness is a darker-than-normal storyline, which puts players into the role of Starkiller, a secret Sith apprentice raised by Darth Vader to travel the ...

Wii - Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - Evolution of the lightsaber

We'd like to say Star Wars thrives due to its developed characters and provoking science fiction storytelling, but the real answer is a lot simpler: lightsabers.

Star Wars may not have invented the laser sword, but Lucas took the idea and owned it. Now it's the generic term the entire globe uses to describe an energy blade of any type. Like Coke is all cola and Kleenex is all tissue, lightsabers are all melee beam weapons. They're ...

Wii Feature | Street Fighter II: The World Warrior - Virtual Console
Wii - Street Fighter II: The World Warrior - Virtual Console - Street Fighter Week: Combo Comparison About 15 years ago you couldn't set foot into an arcade without elbowing your way through a busting throng of Street Fighter II experts. Hell you might have been one yourself. Maybe you missed the arcade takeover and caught the games on SNES or PlayStation years later. Either way, you spent hours honing your combos to laser-like precision. But since those glory days, chances are your animation-interrupting attacks have softened somewhat, and ...

They're some of Street Fighter's most well-known attacks and for years were at the heart of the game's cultural takeover.

Wii Feature | Street Fighter II: The World Warrior - Virtual Console
Wii - Street Fighter II: The World Warrior - Virtual Console - Top 7... weirdest Street Fighter insults When it hit arcades back in 1991, Street Fighter II: The World Warrior instantly perfected two things: balanced martial-arts fighting that let players choose from a variety of wildly different styles, and trash talking. Arcade gamers at the time didn't even need to insult their would-be challengers after brutalizing them onscreen; their characters did it for them, delivering the dis with a finesse that soon became legendary. For Street Fighter ...
