Classic Game Room presents a CGR Undertow review of THE DARING GAME FOR GIRLS from Majesco for Nintendo Wii. Are you daring and a female human being between the ages of -8.9 months and 13 years old? Here’s the game for you? A collection of mini games that is strung together with a story to seem less a collection of mini games sprinkled with fun facts and trivia. While we are certainly not the target audience for this game parents may get a kick out of the review and find a game for their girls to enjoy. Solid production values and controls make this package better than its title would have you believe. Sadly, so many poorly produced mini-game collections have cast a shadow over this genre, but The Daring Game for Girls kicks some girl-power into the fact of lesser mini game collections with a bit of style. This CGR Undertow review of The Daring Game For Girls, based on the book The Daring Book for Girls, shows gameplay from The Daring Game For Girls on Nintendo Wii with game play.
Totally subjective question, of course, but movie mag Empire decided to try and answer anyway, its writers nutting out who they thought were the greatest video game characters of all time. The winner? It wasn’t Mario. More »
We can all agree that most of the junk that appears on cable shopping networks is utter crap, right? Who needs this stuff? You know that there are people just sitting around ordering it because there’d be no justification for its continued production and marketing otherwise.

Here’s a gem that Kotaku unearthed. It’s an inflatable race car with a plastic wheel which is designed to fit, yup, a Wii Remote. Don’t all rush to your phones at once.

Chinese manufacturing giant Foxconn has been in the news for all the wrong reasons lately, a spate of suicides at its Shenzhen complex attracting worldwide media attention. It’s also attracted the attention of Sony, for whom Foxconn manufacture consoles. More »
At one time or another, I think we’ve all wished for a Final Fantasy VII remake which would update the game’s now dated visuals into the HD era. People have been pleading for it about as long as I can remember the idea of HD gaming starting to disseminate.
Final Fantasy XIII producer, Yoshinori Kitase, made a statement at an event celebrating the Korean launch of the most recent title in the series which may give some hopefuls pause. In Kitase’s opinion, it would take ten times longer to reproduce Final Fantasy VII than the original development to get it on the level of production seen in XIII. Considering that FF VII took 3-4 years to produce, that would put it at around retirement age for a lot of us.
Exaggeration? Probably, but maybe this is just Square Enix’s way of telling us to let it go. It’s as if they’ve been profiting from the name for so long by this point that even they think it’s just a little bit sad.
I don’t watch the televised news, as a rule. It’s never been a part of my life. So, as a result, I wind up becoming aware of news only after it has been run through the cultural filter related to my hobby of choice.
Take this piece of art by zero-lives, as an example. Did you guys know that there’s some oil leaking out of a well into the Gulf of Mexico? That sounds vaguely unhealthy. Somebody should probably do something about that. Anybody know who’s responsible?
