If you own a Wii and like Japanese RPG's then you may want to take a look at this. I personally didn't know a whole lot about "Flagire" but after watching this trailer my interest has risen significantly. The art style is gorgeous and it looks like the wiimote is going to be utilised very well, especially with tools like the torch. What is it about JRPG's that make me want to love them so much. I have never played through many of them but when I see trailers like this it makes me think that I am missing out on something really special. We will bring you more details about Fragile as soon as they are available.

September is upon us and has not only brought us the first signs of spring, but also the beginning of what is to be 3 months of wallet-burning, credit-card pwning mayhem in the form of a heavy onslaught of gaming awesomenisity (real word, I promise cough).

So then, what does September have to offer. We have all the releases for the PS3, 360 and the Wii and its looking pretty damn good, especially with the release of Rapala Fishing Frenzy, that game is so gonna be a 10.

With PS3 sales overtaking Xbox 360 sales in the last couple of months there have been many articles and reports flying around the internet saying that the PS3 is finally starting to catch up to the 360 and may possibly even overtake it soon. Interesting concept, except for the fact that it's flawed. The current sales of the Xbox 360 and PS3 on VGchartz are as follows: Xbox 360: 20.44 Million Playstation 3: 15.05 Million The thing is, that if you look at the console sales, you can see that the gap in sales between the PS3 and Xbox 360 is still roughly the same as it was when the PS3 was launched. This means that in the current state, the sales of the PS3 are at best only matching the sales of the Xbox 360 even though sales for Sony's console have picked up recently. The PS3 is indeed becoming more popular and the past problems with the Xbox 360's hardware have made quite a difference. However, we all know that the Xbox 360 is going to be the only console offering HD next-gen gaming at the magic price of $199 US dollars. As we have stated in previous articles, come Christmas time, parents are going to be flocking to stores to ensure a truckload of new foul mouthed children join us on Xbox Live and when they do, the low price of the Xbox 360 is going to be incredibly tempting, especially with Nintendo's Wii suffering from shortages abroad. As much as the PS3 enjoys strong brand recognition and a a large fanbase from the PS2 generation, the purchasing decisions are that of the parents and not the children and when the price is right, the parents are all for it. So how is the the future of the PS3 looking? We spend so much time discussing exclusive titles and graphics comparisons that we forget that at the end of the day it largely comes down to parents, standing in a store, staring at shelves with PS3's and Xbox 360's on them. They don't care about MGS4 and Gears of War 2. They see a low price tag on one of them "new console thingamajigs" and the truth is, its not the PS3. It seems pretty obvious which one is going to be leaving in their trolley.

Madden 2009 got released this week and while we don’t get excited about it, the Americans go nuts over this title. The top 5 games this week in the States according to VGChartz are Madden (360), Madden (PS3), Madden (PS2), Madden (Wii) followed by Madden (PSP) and to round it off in 15th spot is Madden for the original Xbox …

This video is nothing short of hilarious and really makes you think about the kind of exercise that your character has to keep up with in order to move your sorry ass around the world. What these two guys have done is link up two treadmills to their computers running the MMO game "World of Warcraft" or "WOW" for short and programmed them to convert their treadmill running into forward key pulses, so that their real life running is converted into in-game running. More details after the jump. What they do is then embark on a fairly common journey in the game world from one area to another to experiment with how much exercise it actually is to take a jog around the world. The results are quite startling and it really makes you realise just how much it would actually take out of you to run all over the place and that doesn't even include any combat! I really take my hat off to these guys for thinking of this idea as it's really very interesting as well as funny. Maybe we will start seeing peripherals like this when the next generation of gaming consoles arrive. Or not.
