Eurogamer Write: It's the first face-off of the New Year and with it, the opportunity to bring the cold, hard, iron first of order to the games cupboard by rounding up the games we really should have covered by now, but didn't for reasons too numerous and too tedious to get into. It's also the chance to take a look at how the first high profile release of 2009 - EA's Lord of the Rings: Conquest - measures up under Eurogamer's unyielding scrutiny.
Stories from the last week both obscure and overlooked are collected in Newsbytes. This week featuring Madden 13, Pop Things, and other delights.

GamerFitNation's Deshonda gives some suggestions for parents to get their kids physically fit. "The Wii gaming system can help children to get up and get active! This article presents game suggestions for parents. Video games in which a child just slumps in front of the television, glossing over into a haze are a thing of the past. A variety of Wii titles give children the ability to get up and move while playing a favorite video game. From dance themed games to sports based options, the Wii gaming system can provide kids with indoor exercise and physical activity time.
Once again Deshonda has done it again. Wonderful Article. All we want is to get the kids up and moving. Oh yea and have some fun!
How about kids just go outside and play sports?
I love video games, but that sort of activity should be limited especially for young children. They need to learn good habits....
Love it, i'm a big fan of dance games since they're perfect for the whole family and get everyone sweaty :D great article!!
I am going to predict the SAME outcome as the previous 16 installments. Xbox 360 comes out on top and the PS3 is yet again relegated to the bin. amirite?
People can make PS3 vs 360 articles all day
but at the end of it neither system has a game that can match Super Mario Galaxy
The Wii should be included in more face offs
i have a samsung hdtv which is connected to my ps3 via hdmi. it has a feature called edge enhancement. i played around it, toggling it off and on. the difference it makes is very noticeable! with if off, the graphics looks blurry and muddy. with it on any game looks significantly better, the way it should be.
so maybe the ps3 somehow sucks at transmitting signals to tv's?! but your tv's settings can truly affect how good the graphics will look. maybe eurogaymer has a crappy tv set or has edge enhancement off.
i bought a ps3 a few months back,this site was one of the main reasons i held back on getting sony,s console.comparison this comparison that went to my mates house to watch him beta test killzone,new 160gb bundle bought the same week.when you start looking at games like killzone,mgs4,uncharted,motors torm 2 etc,etc those titles there already look better and sound better than anythink on my 360 to date.cod5,pop,dead space i bought for ps3 i can,t tell the difference between the 360 and the ps3 version the only thing i noticed was cod5 plays in 1080p on my newly purchased bravia as my mates 360 plays in 720p on his samsung.the way this site talks its like there light years apart,thank f*ck i bought a ps3 to miss out on there exclusives would be insane and the multiplats who knows i can,t tell jack sh*t between them as of what i,ve bought.
I don't understand that pixel comparison. a game that sucks can have the best graphics ever, nevertheless the game will suck. so whats the deal. for me its not the graphics its the gameplay, the story, the twists, the fun. best example is Left 4 Dead. Old Engine but a lot of fun. i always prefer little less graphics in favor for steady 60fps game performance.
so the only important thing to me in that comparisons are the frame rates.
