Shiren does a great job of straddling the divide between accessibility and challenge, presenting a roguelike experience that may well appeal to any RPG fan. Or at least, any RPG fan willing to give it a chance. Maybe this franchise (and genre) are destined to remain a niche, but at least devotees of this niche are being treated well.
SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA® Europe Ltd. are excited to announce that two-time Grammy-nominated heavy metal superstars Lamb of God are creating an exclusive song for the upcoming blockbuster title – Iron Man 2: The Video Game. The all-new song serves as the perfect complement to the non-stop super-powered action of the game on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, and Wii™ video game system. Iron Man 2: The Video Game will be in- stores across North America on May 4th, 2010.
A third-person action-adventure shooter, Iron Man 2: The Video Game teams the finesse of Iron Man with the brute strength of War Machine, who makes his grandest appearance as a playable character in any video game to date. The game is based on the cinematic universe featured in Marvel Studios’ Iron Man 2, in theaters beginning May 7, 2010 and features an original story written with the help of Eisner-award-winning Iron Man comic author Matt Fraction, that introduces players to popular Marvel Super Villains exclusive to the game, such as Crimson Dynamo.

There are better sudoku games in the DSi Shop at the moment, so unless you're an advanced player who doesn't like to fill in their own candidates and already knows what a "Swordfish" and an "X-wing" are, there's no need to kill yourself trying to wrap your head around this title.
As I always say with this stuff, we don't know if any of it pertains to the Wii version. We've already posted the actual video, but now you can check out a scene-by-scene analysis at the link below.
“We’ve enjoyed working with South Peak and anticipate the continuation of this relationship on further titles. Their strong distribution capabilities ensure we get the maximum exposure for our games in all key territories. We often see traditional developers devote an increasing portion of their resources to their titles and risk it all on having a possible hit. It is abundantly clear to us that partnering with games publishers such as South Peak and helping them release titles based on our successful IP can lead to fun and profitable cross-platform games. We also have a suite of free Wii-enabled games on the site and we have seen a massive increase in users who want to access these games on the Wii. This increased demand confirms to us the value of releasing further games for these casual consoles. We want to let our users play their favourite games on all platforms so it makes perfect sense for us to bring the game to Wii and DS.” - Miniclip CEO Rob Small
I don't know...I think Miniclip might be getting a bit ahead of itself. Let's see how Sushi Go Round ends up doing, and then we'll see if future console or portable outings are a good idea!
