Backyard Football® ’10 Kicks Off This Football Season as a “Family Friendly”

By  •  Wii

New York – September 8, 2009 – Atari, one of the world’s most recognized video game publishers, announced today plans to release the newest installment of the number one youth football video game franchise this October with Backyard Football ’10. For the first time ever, this must have title will be on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and has earned Microsoft’s “Family Friendly” status, which requires the game to pass a strict set of criteria based on rating, ease of play and audience appeal.  Backyard Football ’10, which also returns to Wii™ and PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, features new co-op play for exciting 2 vs 2 action and is packed with a roster full of NFL superstars featured as animated middle-schoolers in the game.

Backyard Football ’10, featuring NFL players as kids, combines realistic NFL plays and strategies with wild arcade style power moves and comical scenarios so gamers of all ages can learn the fundamentals of football while having fun. Multiple levels make it easy enough for beginners, yet challenging enough for even die-hard football fans.

Pure Nintendo Review: Metroid Prime Trilogy

By  •  Wii

After waiting 8 years, Nintendo/Metroid fans finally received a new console Metroid in the form of Metroid Prime (Metroid Fusion also came out at this time for GBA). The game received many stellar reviews and is still ranked in the Top 10 games of all time to this day. Fast forward to 2004, and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes released as a direct sequel to Metroid Prime. The game didn’t score as high as Metroid Prime, but fans, including myself, still hold it in high regard. Then in 2007, Retro Studios released the final chapter in the Metroid Prime trilogy which now took full use of the Wii’s motion control capabilities.

And just a couple weeks ago, Nintendo/Retro Studios packed all three of these games into a one-disc Collector’s Edition for long time fans, as well as newcomers to the series. Rather than talk about each game separately (since all three are well documented as great games), I’ll talk about the merits and additions we see in Metroid Prime Trilogy.
