GameRoks Review: Wii Fit Plus

Nintendo no quiere decir que estas subido de kilos, tómalo como una iniciativa divertida para ponerte a ejercitar tus músculos flacos. Fit no está medicamente comprobado que te hará más saludable o más fuerte, pero el sentido común dice que cualquier actividad física organizada debe traer con ella algún tipo de beneficio. Wii Fit introdujo al mundo vicioso diversión física y “saludable,” este nuevo capítulo en la franquicia del gimnasio digital aumenta la diversión con nuevas opciones ingeniosas.

GameRoks Review: Left 4 Dead 2

December 7th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Reviews-Juegos

Síganme los muertos! Una nueva aventura ha llegado con más violencia y diversión. Las segundas partes casi siempre son menos efectivas que sus capítulos originales. En este caso, la excepción no solo es evidente, es abundantemente claro que los genios en Valve Software corrigieron los mínimos errores de su primera obra de arte y ahora nos brindan horas de sobrevivencia virtual.

The Wii Is Boring.

October 27th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Digital Bits

The much touted “fun” system has suddenly become the downer of the party. Like the girl that complains about everything, the Wii has become the pest that dampens our gaming moods. It’s sad that the system has stayed stagnant in the innovation department. While the competition eats up market share at an obese rate, Nintendo lowered the price of their console in attempts to catch those few stragglers who are yet to own the Wii. Unfortunately, the fever of the motion is simply dead and I fear Nintendo needs to revamp its portable and home-console strategy urgently if they want to remain relevant.

Third party game sales indicate that the system simply does not sell well to gamers who live and breathe games. Those are the individuals who make developers and publishers the most money, so it’s in everyone’s best interest to cater to this demographic. It’s fine to try and reel in the senile and impulse buyer, but those customers won’t stay loyal to the brand, they will simply move on to the next big thing.

The holiday season is rapidly approaching and my “must buy” list as of this moment does not contain any Nintendo products. Let’s hope the upcoming months reveal pleasant surprises.

A Este Punto En Mi Vida Jugar Video-Juegos Deportivos No Me Sirve…

January 6th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Digital Bits

 Hoy en día tengo un millar de juegos que ni si quiera los he podido remover de su plástico. Están situados en una repiza bien organizados como si fueran los libros mas ilustres del planeta tierra. Simplemente no tengo tiempo para jugarlos todos. Peor aun si me dedico a competir en los juegos deportivos. No me confundan, Winning Eleven, o Pro-Evolution Soccer son unas obras de arte y mis favoritos. Pero desafortunadamente no tengo los minutos necesarios para por lo menos desafiar a los mas malos. Que pena que los días no sean mas largos, porque la verdad que los juegos deportivos son fuera de este mundo, mas aun si los juegas siempre con amigos. La competencia es a toda, no faltan los amigos que salen resentidos por la goleada que les propinas. En fin, si el mundo fuera perfecto tuviera tiempo para ser el mejor, el campeón de todas las copas virtuales de fútbol, pero por ahora me dedicare a por lo menos terminar los Marios, los Zeldas, y los Metal Gears.

JayKam Opina: Stop Blaming Nintendo!

October 13th, 2008 | 8 Comments | Posted in Digital Bits

Nuestro querido Jason Kaminski se arto de que denigren tanto a Nintendo, enough already. Maybe you feel the same way as he does, does the Big N really deserve all the blame? Pero que piensan de lo que dice JayKam al respecto:

I think I really like the Wii again. It’s a good little system. I think it’s a bit unfair we keep blaming Nintendo in a way…I mean they gave us a Zelda, Mario, Metroid, and Smash Bros. already this gen and yet we still bitch. We can buy Paper Mario (N64) for $10 or Super Mario RPG (SNES) for $8 which would go for a lot more currently in cartridge form. They brought us some unreleased Japanese goodness like Sin and Punishment and Super Mario Bros. 2 via the virtual console. I think the major problem is the lack of 3rd party goodness. It seems as like with the Gamecube we relied too much on Nintendo to bring us the triple AAA titles while the 3rd parties turned out lackluster crap and ports. The thing that drives me nuts is that they say most people just want better graphics than the Wii can provide but yet the PS2 still sells and new games still come out for the system. I think in the light of the downloadable games revolution, it’s obvious that it’s more about the gameplay and the vision rather than the spec sheet. With the Wii outselling the “other guys” month after month will the 3rd parties ever truly get it?
I would agree that the whole Wii branded games have taken a turn down a path that we’d rather not see but Wii Music is coming out far after the release of games like Zelda Twilight Princess. I also think with the recent showings of games like Punch-Out and Sin and Punishment 2 the Wii branded games are in fact in addition to and not instead of the more hardcore offerings. So is Nintendo really the one to blame?

Que opinas al respecto, se merece toda la culpa Wii por no ser de alta-difinicion, o por no tener 100 gigas de memoria? Este sistema esta que vende como pan caliente y los diseñadores que no aprovechan esto deberian ser castigados por ser vagos e ineptos, asi de simple.
