Woah. Here’s a title I’m ashamed that I’ve forgotten about, and actually never played. Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, I never touched you and I don’t know why. I don’t know if I’m missing out on anything or not! Also, along with Kirby came a shooter game called Psychosis for TurboGrafx16, which I haven’t played either!
Much more useful details inside.
Some gamers get skeptical when Roman numerals populate the title of a game. But make no mistake - this week’s offerings are no mere sequels. They are some of the most highly regarded classic games around. This week’s VC update consists of an awesome combination of Ninja Gaiden III for the NES, and Phantasy Star II for the Sega Genesis.

Want to play Smash early? Heck, want to own Brawl early and maybe some other cool stuff like a new home theater system? Well Nintendo is holding a couple Smash Bros Brawl tournament at a few locations around the US. Only the first 256 people in line get to enter at each location so you might want to show up early if your interested. (I guess this means Tournament mode supports 256 slots).
The locations, dates, times, and potential prizes are listed inside. If you go to one of these and especially if you win be sure to bring along a camera and send the results to us!

The Spiderwick Chronicles is being released for multiple platforms to go along with the movie of the same title. Here I will be reviewing the Wii version. Before I do that though, let me say that this is not the type of game I usually play. In fact, I try to avoid most movie-games. The reason for this is that I have never found them to be worth playing. However, Sierra suggested that we look at it anyway. In fact, they went so far as to send us a review copy to preview. How could I not take them up on it? I was assigned the Wii version and was determined to put aside my bias and review the game based on it’s own merits. The results are somewhat surprising.
I suspect that this month not many of you muscle bound hardcore gamers are going to rush on out to your local GameCrazy and feverishly grab a copy of “The Spiderwick Chronicles” with your vein popping hands of controller crushing death. There’s a reason for that, and despite movie to games adaptions having a reputation of being gaming atrocities, this is surprisingly not the case with Spiderwick.
Just like Ted, I would normally never try out such a game, but since Sierra Entertainment was nice enough send us some copies we’ve decided to review them. Check the results inside.
