Super Smash Bros. Brawl friend finder map
Want to play Super Smash Bros. Brawl online, but have no friends? Not really the sociable type to go out and make friends? Well, the Internet has a solution for your anti-social behavior, again!
MapWii is a neat little Google Maps mashup site that plots Wii owners around the world. The neat part is that you can sort by games they own and players can enter their Wii friend codes. Sure, it isn’t quite as elegant as Xbox Live, but it’s better than nothing.
The obvious crown jewel at the moment is Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It may take a bit of extra work, but finally Wii owners can find competition around the world in a fairly convenient manner. Now, if only Nintendo would bother to integrate such a feature.

You may also list your Friend Code via our forums to exchange with others, and meet fellow players.

The future of "touch" games

Nintendo may catch lots of flack for bringing gaming to the casual market, but their methods have certainly not fallen on death ears. While the DS was far from the first touch-screen device, it was one of the first mass-market commercial ones. It has since been followed up by Apple’s iPhone and a slew of

Another library chooses games over empty aisles

In what appears to be getting more common these days, another public library has devoted some of its energy toward promoting video games. No, not books about video games or the fairly forgettable video game adaptation novels, but actual video games. In this case, it was a Super Smash Bros. Brawl tournament. The Fletcher Free
Video games and the battle against being irrelevant
about 2 years ago - Comments Off
The Globe and Mail has an interesting column up by Chad Sapieha about the timelessness, or lack thereof, of video games. Basically, his argument is that video games, unlike film and literature, are not timeless. That a game played today will not echo with the same resonance ten years down the line. He has a
