How can you resist this face? One disc: Mad Dog …]]> It’s a match made in silly retro heaven: the Nintendo Wii and its motion-sensing controller (perfect for shooting) and classic corny live action arcade shooters. Majesco’s just released a pack of three Mad Dog McCree games at a budget price. How can you resist this face?

One disc: Mad Dog McCree, Mad Dog 2: The Lost Gold and The Last Bounty Hunter, all for $19.99. Sure, reviews have been… how shall we say–atrocious?–but that may be half the fun.

Bad dialogue, bad action, not-great lightgun gaming… if you grew up hanging around arcades, this may be your Nintendo Wii party game. Available now, on sale soon.

Eidos was set to bring the classic hack-and-slash game to the Nintendo handheld, but the game faded away with little fanfare. Gauntlet DS has resurfaced, though, with Majesco apparently backing the project.

Gauntlet DS disappeared from retailer lists earlier this year, but the title–with its new publisher–has returned, and was spotted on the ESRB website with its fancy new rating.

The game has no new date yet, nor have there been any formal announcements, but it certainly seems like the classic team is finally set for release on the DS.

Now you’ll be able to work your fingers to the bone in an effort]]> Mama is about to become Cornering-A-Market Mama with yet another branch of what is becoming a serious franchise: Crafting Mama is set to join Gardening Mama and Cooking Mama in the triple crown of simulation mini-games.

Now you’ll be able to work your fingers to the bone in an effort to please Mama in all sorts of real-world activities without any of the real world rewards! Yes, it sounds a little silly on paper, but when it comes right down to it, we just can’t resist Mama’s smiling face.

Gardening Mama is due this month, but Crafting Mama is just a new trademark–beyond that, there’s no word on it yet, though it’s easy to guess that it’s going to involve Mama, mini-games, and making things.
