The WiiWare service will launch in the US today and the official website for the service can now be viewed here. In the meantime here are details of the first games to be released for it.

The new Nintendo Gamer has launched, and as such i think it’s time to look back on our top five favourite games of all time.

Could there be a possible Kid Icarus title in the works?

Nintendo’s Pay & Play service which will make players pay for online gaming is set to begin with the much anticipated Samba de Amigo. The box-art was released on Gamestop with an unmistakable orange symbol on the corner of the box. It’s still unknown what extra the service will provide (other than us paying for it) but hopefully some information will be released on it soon. The game was shaping up to be worth a purchase and I’m sure there’s plenty of people who are disappointed with this news.

No wonder why it’s sold out everywhere. The sales exceed projections of industry analysts who were estimating that some five million consumers would purchase the game in the first two weeks. 6 million in a week, that is a massive amount of copies shifted, looks like all the hype has done well for the sales. And then there are intakes Take Two have got from it, $500 million. I bet EA are hitting themselves for not buying Take Two.It is quite incredible, seeing these figures. And what is more incredible is that it sold 3.6 million on the first day!

Well if the yearly doseage of WWE in the form of Smackdown Vs.Raw wasn’t enough, THQ have just announced WWE Legends of Wrestlemania for the Xbox 360 and PS3. From the sound of it, you can relive classic Wreslemania matches, and change history. And, seriously what is the point. It would be so much better if they did this as downloadable chalanges for Smackdown Vs. Raw 2009. The game will be released in March 09, the month of Wrestlemania 25.

The latest developer trailer for Far Cry 2 is looking extremely impressive! In this trailer, the African surroundings are showcased with amazing attention to detail. It’s also interesting to learn the game almost wasn’t made, I wonder if ‘eaten by lions’ is covered by Ubisoft Montreal’s employee insurance policy?

Also, everything you see here will be exactly the same on all three target formats, video after the jump.
