We’ve got some info, wallpaper and news about the official website!

Midway is working hard on the latest installment of MK, known as Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance. There hasn’t been too much information on the game as of yet, but that is about to change. Midway is teaming up with GameSpot to unleash “Fatality Fridays” which will reveal all sorts of info about the newest MK game.

While not Gamecube or Gameboy Advance-related, we thought you might enjoy some of these old Japanese video game commercials.

Koshitsu Video Shop "Tokimeki" is a site that has several old japanese tv commercials for download in realplayer format. A lot of them are famicom-related (Famicom, Kid Icarus, Fire Emblem) so we thought you readers might enjoy this.

A couple retailers I spoke with said that the cables initially... Read more...

The latest issues of Request magazine and Extreme Gaming have reviews of Eternal Darkness! Come witness the stupidity...

How they reviewed a game that isn't coming out until June is beyond me, but see for yourself!

Notice the mediocre score of 66 at the bottom. It's ok though. Extreme Gaming gave Eternal Darkness an 8.5 overall in their latest issue.

In case it's not perfectly clear, these magazines... Read more...

A few brief details have been given regarding the game's title, developer, and release date.

CVG reported a few new details on EA's Harry Potter game for GameCube today. It seems that the project is actually based on "The Chamber of Secrets" and is being developed by British developer Eurocom. Potter fans may be somewhat disappointed to hear that the game still won't see release until November 15 of this year.

Is Sega's first GameCube soccer effort worthy in the eyes of the Cross Reviewers?

Virtua Striker 3 ver. 2002 wound up coming just short of a dendo award with a score of 29/40 (7 7 7 8). It's by no means a bad score, but it would have been nice to see GameCube games continue their hot streaks of dendo awards.

Also reviewed this week was Konami's WTA Pocket Tennis, which recieved a meager 25 (6 5 7 7).
