Game: LostWinds
System: WiiWare
Publisher: Frontier
Players: 2
Cost: 1000 Wii Points
ESRB Rating: E

You are Toku, a small, village boy, and Enril, spirit of the wind. Together you set off on a short, 4-hour adventure to free the idyllic Mistralis from the curse of Balazar. The gameplay is all puzzle-based, 2D platforming, with a world map that flows from deep caves to high waterfall, Metroid-style. A feeling of calm pervades LostWinds. Its spare soundtrack evokes a natural beauty that complements its clean, simple visuals of feudal Mistralis (Japan).

Valve is planning on releasing some Team Fortress 2 dlc onto the Xbox 360 (which many PC gamers have been playing for a while now). As of yet they have no plans on bringing this content onto the PS3 and there is no solid scheduled release date for the 360. I expect that the hold up is finding out what to charge XBL customers for these downloads. If I had to pay for the PC dlc then I would easily fork over $5 for the weapons and new map.

On May 29th Namco Bandai will be releasing 8 new plane models ranging from 300 to 400 MS Points. I’m glad that content keeps on coming in but for me it’s hard to throw down cash for nothing more than a new plane. If these planes came with specific missions it would be a much easier swallow.
Below are the new plane models. Enjoy!

Rating: 
System: Wii
Publisher: Square Enix
Players: 1
Cost: $15-$30+
Premise-
Set in the Crystal Chronicles universe a young king is tasked to rebuild a ruined city with the help of his friends and hired adventurers.
Gameplay-
The player takes control of the young king and starts off on his task to once again bring glory to the city. This is done by hiring adventurers to go out and gather resources for you, using those resources to build houses and shops, and collecting a tax from your subjects to get better equipment and hire new adventurers. Adventurers are controlled by the AI once they go out on a mission (referred to as a behest) so you are never actually battling monsters. However, you do get updated with their progress with a type of RSS feed on the top right corner. Once the day ends you also get a detailed report on the entire dungeon crawling mission. A day in this game is roughly 5 minutes which you can skip ahead if you’ve done everything for that day which is a nice feature. Read More

Well this is the first post for what I hope to be a great time in reporting and reviewing all the dlc info out on the intrawebs. As you all can tell the site is still being updated and in the next week I hope to get four reviews up and set up a forum. Also, if you’re an awesome I hacker please don’t hack into this site and mess it up as I’m sure I won’t be able to figure out how to fix it.
