Heavy Rain

A huge event in gaming for those paying attention, Matt and Ryan are going to talk in-depth about Heavy Rain. Nintendo had a media day last week and we got hands on with a ton of stuff. We take your questions and offer up some previews concerning Nintendo's latest announcements: WarioWare D.I.Y., Sin & Punishment: Star Successor, Art Style: Light Trax, Art Style: Rotozoa, and the create-a-fighter DSiWare title, Photo Dojo. They didn't allow us any video for Super Mario Galaxy 2 or Metroid Other M, but we can chat it up with you and if you ask!

Nintendo's can sometimes be marred with fewer offerings, but this one suffers no such indignity. With almost every title on hand having a strong showing, this looks like it may be a very good year to own a Wii and a DS (or a DS Lite, or DSi, or DSi XL, or... sheesh, just how many of those things ARE there??). WarioWare D.I.Y. is like the game industry in a box. You can make your own game and then send it out to be discovered by the rest of the world--well, the "world" being the game world inside of the cartridge. Still, it's a great toolbox of intuitive tools that will have you making WarioWare hits of your own in no time. Add to that the ability to transfer your creations to your Wii and everyone i
