Faylor turned me on to Super Stardust HD, and I have to say it's the first PS3 game I've really enjoyed. It's a little bit Geometry Wars, a little bit rock and roll, and the rounds finish in minutes--which is nice, since we gaming journalists rarely have time to play real games. Highly recommended.

Today, in brief: Hudson baits gamers with a new fishing game for the Wii, EA tackles a rugby game, Atari pulls Jenga onto the Wii and DS, and Medal of Honor: Airborne drops into problems on the PlayStation 3.

  • Hudson announces Fishing Master for Wii

    Hudson is bringing another fishing title to the Wii with Fishing Master. Players can expect to use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to bait, cast, hook, and battle a multitude of fish. Four player same-screen fishing will be supported, along with a single-player mode. Some screenshots of the cartoonish game were released.

  • EA gets rough with Rugby 08

    To celebrate the 2007 Rugby World Cup, EA Sports is releasing Rugby 08, an officially licensed World Cup title for PlayStation 2. Players will take control of national teams in their quest for the Webb Ellis Cup, with simplified and advanced control mechanics supporting both beginners and hardcore rugby gamers. Developed by EA Vancouver, the game will be in stores on July 17.

  • Jenga topples onto Wii, DS

    Developer Atomic Planet and publisher Atari are bringing Pokonobe Associates' popular skill-based tower-toppling drinking game Jenga to Wii and Nintendo DS this fall. According to the announcement, virtual Jenga will come packed with "fun, intensity and challenge" plus "a wealth of exciting new enhancements... possible only in the videogame world." Atari released a few Wii screenshots.

  • Disney rocks out racing studio

    Disney Interactive Studios today announced the renaming of its studio Climax Racing to the considerably less-suggestive Black Rock Studio. Formed in 2000, Climax Racing was purchased from independent studio Climax Group in 2006 by then-Buena Vista Games, which has also since been renamed to Dinsey Interactive. Climax Racing is responsbile for developing the ATV Offroad and MotoGP franchises.

  • Medal of Honor: Airborne PS3 delayed

    EA LA's Medal of Honor: Airborne will be late in appearing on the PlayStation 3. In a release announcing Michael Giacchino (Lost, Ratatouille) as the game's composer, the new time frame for the PS3 version was listed as November. The Xbox 360 and PC versions will both see release on August 28.

    hmpf, that Jenga game could've been awesome if you could put your own textures (drink commands) on the individual blocks. I wonder why more developers dont' capitalize on simple customizations for these puzzle/board games that can turn a blah port into something spectacular!
