Oh no, not another cheap, plastic peripheral is the thought to cross the minds of most gamers upon seeing NHL Slapshot for the first time. Every copy of the game will be packaged with a small hockey stick that houses the Wiimote near its base and the nunchuck up top.

But having spent some time with the stick, I have to say, it just feels like NHL on the Wii done right.

Pokemon’s got a hell of a lot more to it than you’d think, for being a kids game. I don’t even want to think of the programming that must have gone into making the myriad elements of the game work, not to mention the number of hours you’ve got to put in if you ever want to play competitively. I’ll do my best to describe things- but suffice it to say, this game is deceptively complex.

A scout rifle is meant to be easy to shoot, easy to reload, and easy to move with. The focus on speed and flexibility is a shift away from large caliber rifles where the primary purpose is calculating impossibly distant shots with mammoth bullets.

Groggy, sleepy eyed gamers made what must have seemed like a long trek home this morning, having survived Project X’s second LANsomnia event.

Taking place at Switchbox 1.1, Project X tasked gamers to compete in a Starcraft II and Call of Duty 4 tournament, which would last throughout the night. Beginning at 11 p.m., 51 gamers competed from prizes and bragging rights.

William Mah’s Acura NSX is a thing of beauty. It can be seen prowling the Calgary streets regularly.

Here is a gallery of some creations by our local talent, Kate Fehr! As a bonus we also have some illustration work by Nigel Davis!

Soon, we will see the release of Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, which will bring together four different versions of our friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.

Each will also be based on a different series of comic books. With the game right around the corner, we thought it would be a good idea to get some back story on each dimension, so you know your stuff when the game hits.

Two grizzled overweight American forty year olds prove themselves a more effective fighting force than all the punks, cops and soldiers in the city. The gritty style of the singleplayer campaign, and the unique multiplayer offering makes Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days something worth playing if you are into stories of the filth laden underworld.

Project X is putting on another LANsomnia this Saturday and they’ve given Wild Gunmen five free passes to award to our readers!

The way we’re going to do this is with some trivia. Since the featured tournaments are Starcraft II and CoD 4, the first five people to answer these five trivia questions about the games correctly will win a pass. More details about the event below the questions.

Kate Fehr “makes things” as she would put it, but more specifically, she creates stuffed animals, clothing accessories, jewellery, and more, mostly with a geeky twist.
