This game is a game that was developed by Wideload Games and it will be releasing some time during this year. Present in the game is clue finding and mini games that will help you solve the mystery crimes. The crimes are all pretty funny such as “Who Stole My Pudding?”
Here is a preview of this family game:
“There is a party on my Wii and everybody is invited! The party in this case is Disney’s Guilty Party, a new family friendly mystery infused game for the Wii. This is the first title by Wideload Games post-acquisition by Disney, and immediately, you can see how in sync the project is with Disney’s vision. Individual characters look and feel like Disney mainstays which are accessible, fun and inoffensive, while the game itself offers plenty of fun “crime” solving mini-games for kids of all ages.”

The game, Final Fantasy XIII, is going to be coming out early this week on Tuesday, March 9th, 2010, for the Sony PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. This game is a role playing game that many people are looking forward to. However, X-Play’s Rob Manuel for the chance to give the game a try. The following is the review that was given to the game:
“Final Fantasy XIII is not a weekend rental, it’s a commitment. Sure, that sounds obvious to any fan of the blockbuster role-playing series, but Square Enix’s dramatic changes to its formula will prove jarring to many longtime fans. Not everyone will enjoy being thrust into a world of chaotic action and feverish flipping of menus. Don’t get me wrong, the new battle system is more of an evolution of previous systems rather than a cheap gimmick. But even as a longtime fan of the series, I wonder how others will come to terms with so many drastic changes. I, for one, grew to truly enjoy it.”
Is this a game that interests you? Be sure to check it out when it releases in this upcoming week.

Sony has just recently given the announcement that SOCOM 4 is a game, from Zipper, that is not only just being worked on at the moment, but it is going to be released in the fall of this year. As of right now, there are not many details as you could easily figure out. However, here is what Jeremy Dunham, the Zipper community manager, had to say so far:
“A militant revolutionary has unexpectedly seized control in an important South Asian country. As the Ops Com, your mission is to command an elite five-man squad charged with stopping his aggressive agenda before it’s too late. In only six days, you must lead your team through a hostile jungle and urban environments against an army of well-armed rebel insurgents that completely outnumber you. We’re still fully committed to supporting MAG for a long, long time, and the addition of another game in our lineup doesn’t change that.”
For all of you SOCOM fans, what do you hope to find in the next part of this franchise? Are you excited?
