Monday, June 2nd, 2008Mario Kart Wii
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008
Play Time: ~ 4 hours
Progress: All gold in 50cc cups, half of the golds in 100cc
Well. Mario Kart is always one of the most anticipated releases on new Nintendo consoles. Everyone always waits for the Zelda game, the Mario game, the Smash Bros. game, and then the Mario Kart game. Mario Kart DS was arguably one of, if not the, best game in the series’ past . It had nice new karts, both cool new and old tracks, and a couple new item changes to keep you on your toes. Mario Kart Wii surely introduces a ton of new things: sweet new characters, the use of motorcycles, some awesome unlockable karts, and a full set of new courses with the option of choosing some of the greatest from the past. But, is this alone enough to make this game the best Mario Kart ever?
News: Sonic Unleashed Screens!
Saturday, March 22nd, 2008
New screens have emerged today of what may be the next Sonic game. Both the resolution and the general quality seem to point to the game being on either the 360 or PS3, but SEGA loves Nintendo, so some sort of similar Sonic game can essentially be assured. There are screens both from cinematics and supposed in-game play, and the difference between the two should be obvious. I’m looking forward to this game already, it looks like (if they’re real) SEGA’s trying to get Sonic back to his old awesome as opposed to the loading and bug laden last Sonic games.
You can download a .ZIP file of the images here:

Edit: A video from the Xbox 360 version of the game has been leaked! The screens are apparently from the 360 version as well. You can watch the after the jump:
Edit 2: Confirmed! Sonic Unleashed was officially accounced by SEGA to be on its way to Wii, 360, PS3, and PS2 this year.
DS: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates
Friday, March 14th, 2008
Play time: 6 hours
Progress: Main character – Lv. 25, Area – Sinner’s Isle
Well, to preface this review, I have to say that I don’t like Final Fantasy games. I think that they’re too slow with their really turn-basedness, even XII, which tries to be sort of real time. But, I did enjoy FFCC on the GameCube quite a bit. It had beautiful graphics, awesome music, the cutest Moogles ever, and a realtime battle system. Luckily for me, so does Ring of Fates (RoF).
Wii: Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Thursday, February 28th, 2008
Play Time: much more than 30 hours
Progress: All charcters and stages unlocked
You’ve been waiting for this game ever since you finished unlocking Mr. Game & Watch in Melee. You’ve yearned to once again feel the excitement of unclocking a host of new, amazing characters and stages. Nintendo has delayed this game twice already, great to the chagrin of the gaming world. Is it worth the wait? Well, we’ve been playing it for a month, so here’s our spoiler-free views on this year’s most anticipated Wii game.
Game Usagi Store
Monday, February 11th, 2008
All 6 of you love us so much that we decided to make a store so that you can get all of the swag that you have been so desiring with our cute but functional Usagi logo on it.
You purchases also go to supporting the hosting of the site (I really only make $1 or less on everything, so very little, but still helpful) so that you can further reap the benefits of our review and news services.
Enjoy.

360/PS3/PC: Call of Duty 4
Saturday, January 12th, 2008
Hours Played: At least 48
Progress: Complete Single Player Mode, ~ level 20 in Prestige Mode 1 on Multiplayer
If you have yet to have the pleasure of playing this game, then I truly feel sorry for you. This game simply ranks very high on the list of the best games ever made. I have sunk about 2 days worth of time into the online mode alone.
