I love my Xbox 360, but when it comes to games that require using the D-Pad, I always opt for my PS3. The Playstation controller has better ergonomics for D-Pad-optimized games like fighters, classic titles, etc.
This is why i am intrigued by Microsoft’s new swiveling controller redesign. The new D-Pad can be rotated 90 degrees to change it from being a concave pad to a more pronounced cross. My only hesitation about picking one up when it launches on November 9th is the steep $64.99 price point.
While this online side-scroller most likely will never see the light of day in the US, here is the animated trailer for the Korean-market-bound Rockman Online. Luckily, we will be getting Mega Man Universe here, and rumor has it that we’ll be seeing more of that game at PAX.
I’ve already expressed my elation that one of my all-time favorite computer games is getting a sequel, so I leave you with this glorious trailer to get you excited. This game can’t come soon enough.
Warren Spector’s Epic Mickey for the Wii is an attempt to give Disney’s mascot a game worthy of his empire. The last Disney-related game I remember enjoying was Duck Tales for the original Nintendo. However, I’m excited for this Wii-exclusive, and enjoyed what i saw at E3.
Check out the opening cinematic, and see if you agree that this might be the game that finally does Mickey justice.
