The on-rails shooter genre has become increasingly unpopular for the past decade or so. This is understandable as the conventions of the genre are so counter-intuitive that they kill any immersion created by the light gun, conventions such as shooting ammo to pick it up, reloading by shooting off screen, and ensuring the only meaningful way of interacting with NPCs is by shooting them. So considering the expectation of an on-rails shooter, it’s understandable that I and everyone else cringed when we heard about Dead Space: Extraction.
But, Wii owners will be happy to know that Dead Space and Visceral Games have rethought the entire genre from the ground up to make a truly spectacular game.

See this guy above? No, that’s not Frank Caliendo. That’s John Madden, and his franchise might have cheated gamers out of up to $925 million!

So, do you like Mario? What about Link? Tony Hawk? I hope the answer to all is “a lot,” because you’re going to be stuck with them for a while.

The Need for Speed series has been falling behind in its latest iterations. EA tried to reinvigorate “NFS: Undercover” with a GTA-esque storyline and live-action cutscenes, but struck no chords with reviewers. Now NFS is back, with “SHIFT” vying for a spot in the driving-sim genre. Check out the jarring trailer after the jump.

There’s been a teaser trailer, and some talk, but today Bioware has officially announced they are working on a Mass Effect sequel. Unfortunely, one system is being left out. Can you guess which one?
