Spring has sprung a Rayman redone!
Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc HD was announced a little over two months ago. The series has seen a slight revival with the release of Rayman Origins in November and Ubisoft is going to capitalize on that release with this HD remake. Rayman 3 HD now has a release date and it's March 21, 2012.

Modders will now have their tools. Soon.
The Elder Scrolls has always been a series known for its various mods made by the community. This is because Bethesda has always made available tools to assist modders in creating quality content, and the latest entry in the series, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, looks to be no exception.
I got to lay waste to a city, break dance, take risqué pictures with myself, and star in my own '70s style dance video.
I'll be honest; Double Fine Happy Action Theater had me laughing out loud on a fairly frequent basis. As I made my way through the game's default Director Mode, I experienced 18 mini-game toys that were all completely unique in their construction. Because you can't win or lose and the game gives you no directions on how to play, each mini-game is all about experimentation and just having fun. With such a low barrier of entry and gameplay that accommodates up to six simultaneous players, it's almost impossible not to have a blast with Happy Action Theater.

On the stage of history SoulCalibur V takes two steps forward then one step back.
SoulCalibur has long held a special place in the hearts of fighting game fans. The combination of weapon based combat combined with exaggerated, yet memorable characters was a welcome change of pace from the Tekkens and Virtua Fighters of the day. While never accused of being the deepest of fighting games, its trademark accessibility assured that both the core and casual fighting fans could enjoy their time in the ring.
Dr. Mario, Kirby, and Majora's Mask have been swapped out of the rotation.
Today, Nintendo made available two new Club Nintendo awards, each clocking in at 150 coins. Both Art Academy: First Semester and Mario Party 2 are now available for redemption until the end of the month, February 29. The two titles supplant last month's four choices, which included The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Dr. Mario Online Rx, Dr. Mario Express, and Kirby's Dream Land.
