25 Yrs Ago

Wow..!! the tetris game had come a long year.  I didn’t think it was 25 yrs old already.. but counting back - it is really 25 yrs.  I’m sure you’ve enjoyed this game when you were a kid like i did and it had given you many hours of enjoyment.  Unlike our gps systems , it is much easier to master the tetris, so lets take a look and remember that tetris song that we are all so familiar with .. once upon a time.

TrackMania DS

When you have a kid like i do and the spouse owns a computer/game store, you kinda need to know your stuff - well a wee bit.  But she was playing Trackmania for hours.. i bet if she was a teenager, she would need acne treatments for the lack of sleeping.

Ok.. about this game, it’s about racing.. and you race to get in first. here is no doubt that the Trackmania formula is a successful one–the game has already seen four versions come out on the PC, all of which have been quite enjoyable. They aren’t for everyone, as they definitely are not a sim-racer (like Gran Turismo) and they can be frustrating as you often have to run tracks over and over again to perfect them, but for some gamers they are just about as fun as racing games get. Because you are primarily racing against yourself you can keep racing tracks in order to shave off a few hundredths of a second or, in the case of the DS version, there is an added incentive: earning coppers. Using these coppers you can unlock new tracks, blocks (parts for building custom parts), and skins for your cars. You’ll also have to beat easier tracks in order to gain access to more difficult ones. The buying is limited to game elements though–you can’t buy new cars, improved suspensions, or anything like that.

Best Selling Game

Mario Kart Wii was the biggest selling game across the UK, US and Japan last year, shifting nearly 9 million copies.  That’s according to a Top Global Markets report - a collaboration between GfK Chart-Track (UK), NPD (US) and Enterbrain (Japan).

Wii Fit came a close second, followed by GTAIV, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and COD: World at War.

Grand Theft Auto IV led the pack back in August, when the only other change had been Guitar Hero III in place of Call of Duty: World at War.

Sales across all regions were up 11 per cent on 2007, with the UK market in particular noting a dramatic increase of 26 per cent. Japan, however, dipped by 13 per cent.

“Because of this amazing growth and coupled with the downturn currently being experienced in Japan, the UK market has for the first time overtaken Japan as the number two world market,” said GfK Chart-Track’s Dorian Bloch in a statement.

Get Healthy With Wii - Jog

Re:creation today announced that it is to feature jOG for Wii on its stand at Toy Fair 2009, the product’s first public appearance in Europe after a highly successful recent debut at CES in Las Vegas. Designed and manufactured by New Concept Gaming, a company dedicated to the development and sale of ground breaking products bridging the video game and health and fitness industries, jOG for Wii will be available for customers to try for themselves at Toy Fair 2009, 28th to 31st January 2009, Excel London.

Releasing in April 2009 for the Nintendo Wii games console, jOG utilises lower body motion sensor technology to measure your steps and translate them to movement in game, not only making gaming a more immersive experience, but also giving a gentle workout, contributing to the recommended 10,000 steps per day. Research from John Moores University shows that converting seated video gaming on the Nintendo Wii into exergaming via the introduction of the jOG system more than tripled energy expenditure and increased heart rate by 40% in young adults.

“We are pleased to be able to offer the trade an opportunity to see – and experience – jOG in action for themselves,” commented New Concept Gaming’s Managing Director, Brendan Ludden. “As well as clear health benefits backed up by independent research, jOG is great fun to play with, and Toy Fair gives us a great opportunity to demonstrate this.”

Seth Bishop, Deputy Managing Director at re:creation added “We’ve had an excellent reaction from the trade to date, and jOG forms an important part of our company’s long term strategy in the gaming peripheral market. Toy Fair 2009 is a milestone for jOG and we’re looking forward to bringing it to market in April.”

jOG for the Nintendo Wii will be available from April 2009 priced around £19.99.

The Wii

The Wii had been out for 3 Christmases now.. yet we are still getting so many request for it.  Last week, I had like 20 calls at the store of someone looking for one.  It’s crazy.. no..??  VERY..!  A friend/customer bought his 2 months ago for his daughter this Christmas.. because we had warned him to buy it then .. if he wanted one for Christmas.  But never did we think that it was gonna be sold out at other stores like Walmart and Superstore. Some customer/s wanted it so bad, they said they don’t even need phentermine to help them suppress their appetite now because they couldn’t eat without a Wii for Christmas (they promised their kids to get one and now it is too late).  Poor parents!

Atari Flashback 2

The very ancient console games that I had played with many, many moons ago.. and the one that my mother said.. destroyed her tv.  To say that it doesn’t bring back a lot of fond memories.. would be a lie. The Flashback 2 .. comes with more than 40 very classic games.  This is a plug and play system.. so you won’t have any problems with it.  I know some of you . .may not be able to resist it.. but i do have a working atari at my store .. for sale.  But it’s oldddddddddd…!! i will try and remember to take a picture of it on Monday.

HMV Doing Second Hand Games Like Us

Muahahahah!! luckily we don’t have any HMVs here… else.. another big boy wants a piece of our pie..!  Darn that..!!  But yes.. folks from UK and Ireland are in luck.. since HMV is taking in your used games.. and reselling it at the price your friendly neighbourhood game stores are selling them for.   So whether is is PSP or PS3 games.. you can buy second hand stuff at HMV soon.  But hopefully, they ain’t gonna be stupid like the Movie Gallery here.. who charges second hand games at almost the same as new games.  Just no used computer games that’s all.
