  • First Original Title Announced for Wii Virtual Console

    Well, sort of. They’re cheating a little bit.

    After confirmation from Nintendo, it was revealed that System 3’s remake of the Commodore 64 game Impossible Mission will be the first ‘original’ title to hit the Wii VC. Although the game is being remade, the original retro version will also be included for play.

    Impossible Mission is a platforming game that sees you exploring an evil bloke’s lab in an attempt to stop him from hacking into various important computer systems, and is also being released for the PS2, PSP, and DS.

  • ‘Gears of War’ Hidden Fronts Map Pack Released

    Epic Games have today released for Hidden Fronts multiplayer map pack onto the Marketplace.

    Weighing in at 230.32MB and setting you back 800 points (until 3 September, when it becomes free), the add-on introduces four new maps for play.

    “Garden” is a multiplayer adaptation of the conservatory where the Berserker runs riot. She’s not around, but the fertilization and pesticide system is, and it must regularly be vented for safe proceedings. Otherwise, as Consolevania’s Hitler once said – “gas in ya face!”

    “Bullet Marsh” is a Kryll-infested map that just happens to contain a bit of a dodgy power generator. Shooting it might just cause the lights to fail. Which might just cause the Kryll to devour whatever has just been plunged into darkness.

    “Process” is a situation where one team will protect an Imulsion plant, and one team will invade it. With honking great spotlights dotted around the place, you really don’t want to be highlighted popping in the back door.

    “Subway” is a fairly self-explanatory name. The Locust have turned the place into a cushy little home, and COG Soldiers seem to have a problem with that. You may or may not want to wipe the opposing team out.

    The maps are definitely worth downloading, if not just for the petty reason of avoiding being kicked out of matches when you don’t have the downloadable content that the host does.
