Wii Warm Up: A different shooter
We spent all last week talking about Metroid Prime 3, so let's pick up with something not-so-completely different: Medal of Honors: Heroes 2. Early word on this game is nothing short of amazing. Screenshots that have us a little impressed. 32-person (!) online multiplayer. But best of all? Word is that the controls are awesome, and that's what really matters. It looks like EA is really sinking their teeth into the Wii, from their special control schemes to their game choices. We never thought we'd say this, but they're shaping up to be one of our favorite developers this cycle.IGN's Matt Casamassina recently spent some quality time with the latest Medal of Honor title and has nothing but praise for it. Apparently it even adds a little something to the WWII game, which is good news; we're starting to think that developers have forgotten every other war in history. He does lament the on-rails aspect of Arcade Mode, but says everything else (i.e., the shooting part of the shooting game) is worth playing. The more free-flowing Campaign Mode, however, moves beyond simply "worth playing" and into "rivals Metroid," which piques our interest something fierce. So let's talk. Are you into this one? Has it cropped up on your radar now? Or are you skeptical until you see more on it?
NBA Street Homecourt shots, nothin' but net
DeaconBlade 360 let us know about some exclusive shots of NBA Street Homecourt that he snagged. Unfotunately, the shots only tell us two things. One, well, it's basketball. Two, it's damned pretty. Obviously, we don't know how schmoove it looks in motion, but the shots are definitely promising, showing off plenty of detail in both the characters and the backgrounds. Here's hoping EA releases some video to go with the shots. Do we have any NBA Street fans out there? What would you like to see in Homecourt?
