Keita Takahashi's "Tenya Wanya Weens" (he calls it a party game) doesn't yet have a platform (maybe the 360? iOS is nice--but it might not even come out beyond GDC), and it was played using a 16-button controller that may or may not ship with the final game, but however it shakes out, the game Edge describes during their hands-on at GDC sounds like something we should all get our hands on right now.

No matter how you look at it, "Luigi's Mansion" was an anomaly, especially for a company like Nintendo. From creating a spooky game, to having it star the lesser-known Mario brother, there were a lot of things that were different about it, yet it still managed to make its way into the launch line-up for the GameCube back in 2001. Having sold 2.5 million copies over the life of the console, Nintendo's experiment with giving Luigi his own game certainly seemed to work out, but it still took 12 years for the man in green to get a sequel. "Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon" is the much anticipated follow-up to Luigi's first, and only, starring role, and much to our hero's dismay, he's heading back to the haunted mansions to bust some more ghosts.

Rhythm games just aren't as big as they were a few years ago. The genre peaked with "Guitar Hero" and "Rock Band" saturation, and, as such, now has somewhat of a stigma attached to it. However, that doesn't mean that the right rhythm games can't still be fun. Game Freak, the company best known for working on the Pokémon franchise, are stepping away from their pocket monsters for the first time in a long while to release a 3DS eShop game, "HarmoKnight," that pulls a lot of its inspiration from rhythm games.

After attending last week's preview event for "Beyond: Two Souls" at the Quantic Dream offices in Paris, I initially wanted to knock out my impressions of the approximately 10-15 minute hands-on demo as soon as I got home. But looking back over my notes from the full presentation--from the ambitions that CEO David Cage laid out for the game to some of the later gameplay footage we were shown, I wanted to sit on my impressions for a bit.
If you want the quick pitch: "Beyond" plays like a 3D adventure game with impeccable production value but what's troubling--that's too strong, what's curious--is that Quantic Dream didn't allow us to see something tangible in terms of how choice will affect the story.
