Sega announces House of Dead: Overkill as Wii exclusive
Wii gamers who find themselves defending the system as a legitimate platform for hardcore gamers have been given some new ammunition (of course, they may want to save that ammunition for the zombies). Sega has announced The House of Dead: Overkill will be coming to the Wii early 2009. The game is being developed by Headstrong Games (formerly Kuju of Battalion Wars 1 and 2) and is being built from the ground up specifically for the Wii platform.
Using the Wii remote (as opposed to the light-gun approach of the The House of the Dead 2 and 3 Return port), the game will be presented in a pulp action-style design. This is made quite clear in the trailer which was instantly one of the best game trailers I have ever seen. Click through to check it out…
Gamertell Review: My Weight Loss Coach for DS
Title: My Weight Loss Coach
Price: $39.99
System: DS
Publisher (Developer): Ubisoft (Ubisoft Montreal)
ESRB Rating: Everyone (use of alcohol and tobacco)
Pros: Friendly and encouraging, offers good advice, decent variety of activities and challenges
Cons: Pedometer is basically useless, doesn’t accept diet details, more about weight management than actual weight loss
Overall Score: Two thumbs sideways, 72/100, C-, 2 out of 5
My Weight Loss Coach from Ubisoft is not a weight loss coach, it’s a weight management coach. It’s a good habits coach.
It does a decent job of reminding you of the exercise and nutrition lessons you were taught back in school and it challenges to actually put the lessons into effect. But if you buy this game hoping it’ll help you quickly shed 10 pounds, you’re going to be sorely disappointed.

Gamertell Review: Soul Bubbles for DS
Title: Soul Bubbles
Price: $29.99
System: DS
Release Date: June 27, 2008
Publisher (Developer): Eidos (Mekensleep)
ESRB Rating: Everyone
Pros: Unique, addictive gameplay. Great use of DS touch screen. Wonderful graphics and audio.
Cons: Short. A bit too easy. No multiple saves.
Overall Score: Two thumbs up; 91/100; A-; 4 out 5
Soul Bubbles was developed exclusively for the DS by the French company Mekensleep. It’s their first and only game but it has the polish of a company that’s been developing games for decades. In fact, I can fault Soul Bubbles with only one major problem…

Soul Bubbles blowing into Toys ‘R’ Us early
Eidos Interactive has announced that Soul Bubbles, a unique Nintendo DS puzzle game from developer Mekensleep, is now available exclusively at Toys ‘R’ Us. Despite what’s being claimed at some other gaming news sites, however, this doesn’t mean Soul Bubbles will only be carried at Toys ‘R’ Us. Rather, the popular toy store is simply making the game available ahead of its July 1st release date. If you’ve already placed your pre-orders at Amazon or Game Stop, don’t panic. You’ll get it, just a few days behind everyone else. Or, you know, there’s still time to cancel that order and head down to Toys ‘R’ Us.
In Soul Bubbles, players use the stylus to draw bubbles, then deflate, cut or join them to other bubbles to navigate them through over 40 levels across eight environments. The bubbles contain lost “souls,” and you, as a young shaman, must guide safely through this series of increasingly treacherous and hostile worlds…
