Great EXPectations. Of all those who started Mario & Luigi: Brothership earlier this month, fewer will have seen it through to the bitter end. Fewer still will have completed all of its side missions and unlockables and we’d wager that an even smaller number will have reached the plumbing protagonists’ full potential with a pair…

King Lear. Jean Valjean. Eva Perón. These are some of the roles that can define an actor’s career, but there’s only one that can define an actor’s life: Shadow the Hedgehog. In the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3, that role is being filled by none other than John Wick himself, Keanu Reeves, and Paramount has…
Better late than never, right? Songbird Productions has recently announced that it will be publishing a brand new Atari Jaguar port of the Atari ST racer Vroom next year (thanks Retro News!).

*Pokes* … do something. Nintendo has released a short animation based on The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, highlighting the game’s core ‘echo’ mechanic in which you conjure up copies of objects to reach areas that would otherwise be inaccessible.
