Dark Void Zero

- From DSiWare

- Kind of like Bionic Commando as well
- You get a jetpack right away

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom

- There’s some cool combos people can do
- Combo system simple on the surface, but you can tell it’s really flexible

- Joystick is like the lower-end Street Fighter IV one
- Have to tether it to the Wiimote

- Craig played it, almost finished
- About a 10 hour game
- Blood is always on
- Many 8-bit references
- About 7 jobs
- Craig says the storyline makes no sense
- Voice acting is good, but they use the same female voice actor for all the women with the same accent (possibly intentional)
- Can play as 3 characters
- Shinobu has some platforming elements, doesn’t work very well partially due to the camera system
- Craig recommends it

Reader questions

- Sands of Destruction review is up now
- If there is a Wii version of GTA in development, it won’t be an exclusive or it will be only for a little bit (like Chinatown Wars)
- Matt/Bozon have their own schedules, which is why they haven’t been on the podcasts lately

    IGN, you guys have no journalistic integrity at all. I have worked in the video game industry for over 5 years as a designer, and I know for a fact you guys are paid off for some of your reviews. I’m also tired of you people who rate fighting games that only “causally” play, and thus have no idea what you are talking about. You guys are no better then most of the so called “fan boys” that comment on your forums. I think it’s high time that sites like IGN, Gamespot, 1up, and magazines such as Game informer get a change in structure. Game fans alike trust you guys for honest information not biased opinions. If they wanted biased opinions they would just read your comment section. If you ask who am I to complain? I’ll tell you who! Someone who’s tired of being lied to by gaming publications. Somewhere down that line of getting free stuff and being flown from company to company you guys forgot what it’s like to be a gamer. I hope in the future you guys will remember it’s about the games and the gamer, and not the BS politics that go with this industry. Leave the politics to my jerk bosses on the publishing side of the gaming industry. Good luck! :)
