Our previous look at Monolith Soft’s upcoming Wii role-playing game Xenoblade – formerly known as Monado: Beginning of the World – may not have convinced you that the game is worthy of carrying the Xeno prefix. But what about this new trailer? More »

First Look At Disaster: Day of Crisis In Action

8:40AM September 11, 2008 | Michael McWhertor

We may not agree with the grooming choices of Disaster: Day of Crisis — chinstraps make us queasy — but we have to admit that our first look at the Wii game in action is pretty satisfying. It looks surprisingly good, not just in that “looks good for a Wii game” way either and will hopefully go a long way toward curbing bitching and moaning about a lack of “core” targeted games. Disaster still doesn’t have a North American date, but it’s hitting Japan at the end of the month meaning we’ll know soon whether the game lives up to its namesake.

Thanks to Calos for the heads up!

Disaster: Day of Crisis Still Exists, Gets Rated In Australia

11:40AM August 16, 2008 | Michael McWhertor

Oh, hey, Disaster: Day of Crisis. Man, it’s been awhile. We thought you were dead. Fortunately, the Monolith Soft developed action game for the Wii just got an M rating in Australia, so we know it’s alive and… well, alive. The Classification Board lists the game as potentially objectionable for its “Violence, themes and infrequent coarse language”. Nowhere is tardiness mentioned.

Keep in mind that the Classification Board rating applies only to Australia and that we have no idea when it will be released — or if the rating is an indication it will be released any time soon. Perhaps we’ll see it at Games Convention next week? Nah, doubt it.
