Welcome to "Morning Hangover" -- an excellent way to start your day with the crew at TheFeed...no matter what you're recovering from. Every morning you'll hear musings from two of TheFeed's editors and have the chance to share your thoughts on what's going on in the gaming world. So buckle up, thank the deity of your choice that it's Friday, and keep reading!
 
Wii Vitality Sensor
 
Raymond Padilla: In an interview with Fast Company, Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime said that people will be all, "Wow, I get it," when they see the Wii Vitality Sensor in action. He used the example of the Wii Balance Board not looking like much fun, but people love it when they experience the full software-hardware combo. The example is a stretch. People have been using balance boards for fun physical activity for decades; they can be fun without clever software. A heart-rate monitor? Not so much. Nintendo's software will have to be amazingly clever if it hopes to make a clinical device entertaining. I'm not sold yet, but if anyone company can pull it off, it's Nintendo.
 

Overlord: Dark Legend Launch Trailer »


 
Patrick Klepek: I've managed to finish Ghostbusters: The Video Game -- which, if you haven't played it yet, do so immediately; it's essentially an awesome, interactive sequel to the first movie -- which means I'm moving onto something new. It's a question of "what next?" I was legitimately pumped for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, but sadly, the tutorial alone dashed my hopes this was the Transformers video game I'd been waiting for. Maybe next time? In any case, it's looking likely I'll be flicking on the ol' Wii again and checking out Overlord: Dark Legend. Haven't heard of it? I'm not surprised. It's essentially a behind-the-shoulder real-time-strategy game with a welcomed dash of British humor. Seriously: it's worth checking out.
 

TheFeed gang wants your thoughts on gaming, tech, your favorite iPhone game, and more. Let everyone know what you're thinking and chat it up with your fellow readers. Leave comments on anything and everything that's on your (gaming/tech/nerd) mind! The reader with the best comment will get to jump into a giant pie with Brian Leahy.

    Does the default, avatar, unisex, multi-ethnic mascot have a name?

    I vote for Jacko or yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not just about Jacko dying either, but it's black and white. Therefore, I assume it would be tough for it to be yeah, yeah, yeah.

    Stevie McCartney could work too.

    I also loved Ghostbusters. I'm a huge fan of Aykroyd and Murray, so it was a must buy for me. Games in general need more comedy.

    I was never excited for Transformers the game... Ghostbusters yes (and liked it), Transformers no...

    BUG: I'm running Firefox (it seems more frequent on the PC version, insert Apple biased comment here) Now:

    When I first open the page, the avatars or symbol counter-part is there for everyone, looking good. When I refresh the page after I comment (but not before) all I see is text in place of the avatars that overlaps the names. Unless your name is minimal characters, like mine.


    @ RROD (I hope you get the honor of being my last comment that starts like this)

    There's a new reply system in town. Check under your previous comment.

    Does this mean you all would not mind jumping into a Giant Pie with Brian Leahy? No offense Brian, but I think I'll sit this one out. However if we were jumping into a Giant PB&J then I'd be down, he'll have to take a shave though...

    So that was the problem, huh? I was using IE and it would freeze but now that I'm using FireFox it working just fine. Also, I can now log on using my PS3 now too.

    hmm, I can see the vitality sensor used for horror games and maybe a new incredible hulk game where you get your heart rate to a certain level and you turn into the jolly green giant, but I'm not sure what else it can be used for.

    and on another note I have been playing Overlord for the Wii and it is fantastic! The controls are great and it's hilarious!

    I use a $20 dollar movie pass at blockbuster, i can trade in and switch for movies or games any time. At $9 bucks a pop for games at the store, the pass is awesome.

    I also use Gamefly, and have played a purchesed many games that I otherwise would not have played. And the discount from being a member for a year is fantastic. I would recommend going with the two game membership, otherwise it can be difficult to get a new game when it comes out.

    @babyscott...
    Yea i use gamefly and i can tell you that it saves me a lot of money. You can even buy the games directly from them if you like it and they will give you a discount for being a member.
    I would recommend it if you're into saving some cash.
