Activision was kind enough to send us over Crash Mind Over Mutant for the Wii and DS. For you right now I have the DS version review, and Kevin should have the Wii version done very soon. Next on my review agenda, the new James Bond, which I am hoping to have done by the end of next week….hopefully.

First I would like to say I never played the last Crash game that involved mutants. With that said I just well come right out and say it, Crash: Mind Over Mutant is a simple game. I found myself jumping and double jumping through level after level of pretty much the same thing over and over again. Don’t get me wrong, there are a few things to do besides jumping around like a Kangaroo. You can collect little orbs that they call “mojo.” Once you collect enough mojo, you can transform into Super Crash. Your speed and attack power increases. There is also the ability to hi-jack monsters/mutants of all different skills: Electric, Flower power, just to name a few.

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The new Animal Crossing™: City Folk game for the Wii™ console launches Nov. 16, allowing players to move into fun communities, customize their surroundings and interact with hundreds of animal characters. The world is filled with possibilities, and players never run out of things to do. They can collect more than 2,400 items like shells, fossils and bugs, or design new clothing patterns that they can share with their friends.

The new “city” area of the game provides access to the latest fashions and offers players the ability to give their character a Mii™ makeover at the hair salon, which transforms the character’s features to look like the player’s Mii. Players can also put items up for auction in the city and bid on items others want to sell.

12/11/08 – Future Publishing Australia have today announced a new agreement with Nintendo Australia to launch Official Nintendo Magazine – Australia and New Zealand.

Official Nintendo Magazine – Australia and New Zealand builds upon the existing relationship between the two companies, a partnership which currently extends to both the US and the UK, where Future publishes the official titles in both strategically important markets.

Greg Arthurton, Director of Marketing, Nintendo Australia said:
“We are really excited about the new agreement. By establishing a partnership with Future Publishing Australia, we are able to extend the Nintendo brand into a new environment with a locally produced magazine on the newsstands. We will also benefit from the well established relationship which already exists between the companies in other territories, and we will integrate that into the way we work together here too. We definitely see the magazine as being an important part of our evolving communications strategy in this region, not least to ensure our customers can get the best out of their consoles with a complementary offering.”

What is Kopin? That is one of life’s great questions. The Kopin in general is a legendary creature with a roundish head and a propensity for magic. Contrary to popular belief, Kopins do not grant wishes. Kopins live in a wide variety of areas in the world of Luminous Arc – they can be deadly opponents in battle or friendly help at the local bar.

In between missions in Luminous Arc, players encounter special sequences called “Life of Kopin,” that feature a specific Kopin determined to become the world’s most powerful monster. He doesn’t necessarily try too hard to meet this goal, and he does it in what might be considered an unorthodox fashion, but he’s dedicated to his mission and his antics enrich the Luminous Arc experience.

There’s a little bit of Kopin in all of us, so fans will be pleased to know that Kopin interaction sequences return from the original game. The new sequences will feature an even wider variety of crazy situations you can put Kopin into, just by tapping on the screen.
