Kevin and I were lucky enough to be invited to watch an online presentation, through WebEx, of the new Trauma Team game. Below are some details that I gathered from their presentation.
Trauma Team has the same feeling and look as the last one—maybe a little crisper graphics. The game displays in 480p progressive scan and 16:9 widescreen. The game also features the same manga style cut scenes, but don’t worry, they pull off the cut scenes and make up for any pitfalls with fantastic voice acting.
There are a few added gameplay modes along with the ones from the first game: Diagnosis, First Response, Surgery, Endoscopy, Orthopedics, and Forensics. Diagnosis and Forensics offer very “adventure” style experiences. Four out of six of these modes will be available in co-op, but there will be no online modes unfortunately.
The rest of 2010 that is!! :) We realize that 2010 is well underway, but we really wanted to post our predictions for 2010 before the year got any later. So, without further ado, I give you our predictions!

Simply put, the IUM is the next generation of USB flash drives. Why? Because it provides you with a more efficient, practical and comprehensive solution for transferring your files than traditional USB flash drives. You no longer need to run back and forth between laptops to share files, you don’t need to worry about what previous content may still be on your flash drive before you give it to a friend or colleague, and you don’t need to try to figure out if you have enough capacity available to share all you content. Oh, and by the way, have we told you about its media streaming capabilities? Here are some of the things it can do.
Unlimited File Sharing
Because the IUM allows you to share your entire hard drive as well as any servers, external hard drives or other storage space that your laptop has access to, you can never run out of storage space.
– “The world setting, story and other elements have no relation (to past Xeno games). It’s a completely new title.” – Xenoblade director Tetsuya Takahashi
– Takahashi feels that past Monolith titles have focused on events and scenarios, and this development path was a dead end
– Xenoblade started off with the dev team examining the origins of the RPG genre, and creating a game that was simply fun
– Why does this game have ‘Xeno’ in the title? “I wanted to to have some sort of common point with the games I’ve made.”
– “Xeno” has the meaning of “different nature” or “uniqueness”

Avanquest Software Publishing, a leading consumer software and games publisher, is soon to release Water Sports for the Nintendo Wii. Gamers can jump on their Wii Balance Boards and experience the unique feeling of kite surfing, wake boarding, windsurfing and water craft racing as they take to the waves in exotic locations around the world.
In a unique wake boarding multiplayer mode, the game allows one player to drive a water craft while the other is towed on the board behind. Relying on the driver to set up runs, the boarder must concentrate on executing big tricks and rack up high scores as they are launched off ramps and onto rails.
In honor of Presidents Day, let’s take a moment to reflect on the qualities that make a great leader, plus some exceptional games you can use to nurture them. Problem-solving skills are a must, both in the Oval Office and in the new Phoenix Wright™ Ace Attorney: JUSTICE FOR ALL game for the WiiWare service. A way with words is essential, too, as you’ll discover in Scrabble™ Classic for the Nintendo DSiWare service. Real Soccer 2010 proves the value of teamwork, while Spotto! ™ highlights the importance of facing fearsome threats head-on. And while we’re not sure how effective a hedgehog would be as commander-in-chief, the SEGA classic Sonic & Knuckles™ – now available to Wii™ owners via the Virtual Console™ – demonstrates real bipartisan appeal.
