We all know that the New Xbox Experience is a fancy way of re-skinning the Xbox's current "blade" interface and adding Mii Avatar support. While a new look is nice, many of us paid hard earned Imperial Credits for our current themes and they suit us quite well, thank you very much. Not to fear! The fine folks at Gamerscore Blog have descended from their perch upon high to allay your doubts and worries.

Nintendo Appoints Two New ExecutivesPosted 1:00pm Mon Jan 14, 2008 by Shiva Stella
Tags: Nintendo, corporate news, people, Denise Kaigler, Bill van Zyll
In happier Nintendo news of the morning, Nintendo of America has announced that it has appointed two sales and marketing executives to its new office in Redwood City, California.
Denise Kaigler (soon to be ex-Reebok) signs on as VP of marketing and corporate affairs while Bill van Zyll (ex-Whirlpool) is the new director and general manager of Latin America (sounds like a dictator).
If you're interested in full details from Nintendo, hit the jump. Maybe what Kaigler did for shoes and van Zyll for home appliances they can do for the Wii?

Tags: Trauma Center New Blood, Atlus, Wii, release
The first original title in the series since 2005's Trauma Center: Under the Knife (of which last year's Trauma Center: Second Opinion was a remake), New Blood focuses on two new doctors named Valerie Blaylock and Markus Vaughn, for good reason - the game adds in co-op gameplay, a substantial new feature it offers over its predecessors.
Instead of taking turns cutting a poor patient's heart to pieces, you and a friend can now do it together! Trauma Center: New Blood should be available widely in stores tomorrow.

A developer for portable platforms since 1998, below are new screenshots and character model art from Torus Games' web-slinging action title Spider-Man: Battle For New York. The game will allow players to suit up into Spidey's familiar red and blue spandex, as well as the Green Goblin's uniform. In the latter case, playing the role of Spider-Man's nemesis will involve an escape from the organization known as S.H.I.E.LD., which would also indicate that the game's story is not tied to the upcoming film to be released in May.

Tags: The Legend of Spyro A New Beginning, archive
If you always wondered where platform-giant Spyro the Dragon came from (being that he is, well, a dragon), then you'll be pleased to learn that Vivendi Games's Sierra Entertainment has announced the development of The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning for the PlayStation 2, which will delve into the origins of the franchise's star when it releases this fall.
"For the first time ever, The Legend of Spyro A New Beginning will reveal the origin of one of the most popular video game characters of all time," said Cindy Cook, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer for Vivendi Games. "With an entirely new game design centered on action and combat, coupled with a deep storyline that comes to life through the tremendous talent of our voice-over actors, The Legend of Spyro A New Beginning will deliver an explosive and exciting cinematic gameplay experience that Spyro fans and gamers of all ages will love."
The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning is slated to release in October 2006 for the PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, GameBoy Advance, and Nintendo DS.

The completely new Spyro adventure, featuring gameplay focused heavily on dynamic action and fast-paced combat, uncovers the true origin of Spyro the Dragon as he evolves into a living, breathing weapon of explosive destruction! This epic story of Spyro's quest to discover his roots and realize his destiny is amazingly brought to life by leading Hollywood voice-over cast members Elijah Wood (Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings trilogy) as the new voice of Spyro; David Spade (The Benchwarmers) as Spyro's sidekick Sparx the dragonfly; and Gary Oldman (Sirius Black from the Harry Potter films) as Ignitus, the Fire Dragon Elder and Spyro's mentor.
In The Legend of Spyro A New Beginning, players will experience the awesome power of the purple dragon as they unleash devastating fury attacks, upgradeable breaths and ground-to-aerial melee combos in frenzied battles with hordes of menacing enemies and bone-chilling bosses. The action game also introduces a new dragon upgrade system, giving players the freedom to increase the power and variety of attacks to their liking. Developed by critically-acclaimed developers Krome Studios (console and Game Boy Advance) and Amaze Entertainment (Nintendo DS), The Legend of Spyro A New Beginning is scheduled to be released in October 2006.

GH Review: MS Saga: A New Dawn (PS2)Posted 5:15pm Mon Mar 13, 2006 by Shiva Stella
Tags: review, archive, PlayStation 2, MS Saga A New Dawn
This review was originally published on Gaming Horizon, GameBump's predecessor. Its format does not match our own but we support its content.
For a moment, let’s pretend that you’re a Gundam fan and find particular enjoyment in watching the anime series, customizing imaginary mechs, and pondering what the ideal weight/power ratio would be for the franchise’s ultimate weapon. Let’s also pretend that I strongly dislike anything remotely connected to the word “Gundam”, and as such, can’t be expected to provide an unbiased review.
You’d be half right. I do despise Gundam. I’m extremely unfamiliar with the series, can’t stand giant robots at all (with the exception of Front Mission), and the very notion of enduring a full plot’s worth of the Gundam universe is enough to make me physically ill, but MS Saga: A New Dawn does have one positive quality that (for me) overrode the obvious downside: it’s an RPG. It has giant robots, true, but it also has the mandatory travel/adventure, leveling up, boss battles, quests, new characters, and all the normal junk that goes along with being an RPG. Unfortunately it’s also the most lackluster, barebones RPG I’ve ever played on a current-generation console (and I’ve played many). You should already know where this is headed.
MS Saga, perhaps to stay in line with its gameplay, has an extremely basic storyline. Players are cast as Tristan, a poor youth who barely escaped death when his orphanage was tragically blown to bits by a mysterious black mobile suit. Since that day Tristan has sworn revenge, and he’s joined by his friend, Fritz, another orphan survivor, as well as other traditional characters: Aeon, the “girl without a past”; Tremmie, the high-strung, easily irritated woman; Gavenger, the “wise old man”; Vargas, the wild and promiscuous arms dealer; and so on. The group’s goal is to defeat the “Dark Alliance” by killing its leader, and all of this eventually ties in with Aeon’s unknown, potentially vile history and Tristan’s burden to save the world. Though the cast is hardly colorful and the game’s plot extremely direct, having some kind of a storyline does help the action along.
