It’s been 10 years since we’ve seen signs of any Creatures, but that’s all about to change. The life simulation is about to return, thanks to Bigben Interactive, Gameware and Fishing Cactus the Mons. It’s returning in a bit of an unexpected way too, as a free-to-play adventure. Creatures 4 will still be a life simulation, just like the previous three entries, only this time you won’t have to pay to raise up some Norns. Well, unless you want some extra goodies and features…

Vooz’s Pucca loves that little ninja Garu, and she isn’t going to let anything get in her way of grabbing him – even work. Even though she’s helping to run her family’s noodle house in Pucca Noodle Rush and keep it from having to close down due to a new rival, she still has time to run over and smooch him whenever he shows up in the store. That’s right, unlike the DS action game Pucca Power Up, Pucca Noodle Rush is a time management simulation.

Think of Pucca Noodle Rush as Diner Dash, only in shades of red and black…

Bigben Interactive is working on a Pucca video game. At least, that’s what the ESRB says. A game with a temporary title of Pucca’s kisses game has been assigned a rating of “Everyone.” I seriously doubt that’s what it will be called when it hits stores though. I’m rooting for something like, Pucca Loves Garu…

Before you ask, this isn’t some kind of joke. Bigben Interactive has decided that it is going to take the next step with its Wii fitness game and stuff a whole exercise bike in the box. Don’t get excited and race to your local store to see it for yourself, it seems like only European gamers may see it on shelves.

The Wii exercise bike peripheral will be released in January 2010 with a game called Cyberbike. As you can guess, it comes in in a very large box. Just look at the image to your right. You hook up the exercise bike to your Wii, start up the game, and start biking. I’d recommend setting it up on a flat, stable surface. The last thing you’d want is to tip over while you’re using that thing.

While Cyberbike is designed to cash in on the Wii fitness craze, it isn’t all about exercise. There is a Fitness Mode, but there are also Story and Multiplayer Modes. In Story Mode, your in-game character is tasked with cleaning up litter contaminating the 18 courses that they are riding on. I have no idea how players are actually expected to do this while peddling. Maybe you’re supposed to tilt your body left and right. No, that’s probably not a good idea…
