European and Australian Wiis get the free Kirby TV Channel

Anyone who’s got an unhealthy obsession with that cute, pink blob named Kirby is going to wish they lived in Europe or Australia tomorrow. It turns out Nintendo is going to release a new Wii channel in those two regions. It’s free, and called the Kirby TV Channel. I bet you can see where this is going.

The Kirby TV Channel will, appropriately enough, only show Kirby cartoons. Remember that series called Kirby: Right Back At Ya!

Alternate Disc-Tractions: Ruby-Spears Superman complete series DVD review

Celebrating Supe’s 50th anniversary, Ruby-Spears Productions miraculously got the rights to create Superman the animated TV series.

It exists in an awkward gap between the kitche-y late-1970s-to-early-1980s Super Friends cartoons and the slick 1990s Superman: The Animated series. It’s a series that only those who could bear the live-action Superboy TV series recall.

Superman goes far to embrace elements from print, film and even previous animated series, sometimes seeming disjointed but, by the time you get through all 13 episodes, becomes appropriate.

Gamertell Review: Dead Space Downfall on DVD, Blu-ray

Title: Dead Space DownfallRelease Date: October 28, 2008Company: Anchor BayRating: Not RatedLength 74 minutesPros: Strong story as a prequel. Great character development. Monster, environment and perspective animation is spot-onCons: Voice acting didn’t work as well as it could have, character animation has inconsistent quality, tiresome paceOverall Score: Two thumbs sideways, 74/100, C, ** out of five

Dead Space, EA’s new survival horror game (PS3, box 360, PC/Win), already has a film adaption titled Dead Space: Downfall. It’s an adequate yet irritating sci-fi/horror cartoon that acts as a prequel to the beautiful and horrifying game…

Listen up! Ten voice actors every gamer should recognize

While gamers all enjoy video games with voice acting, they often tend to also take for granted the people behind the voices. Many times, the voice actor for a character isn’t even credited or listed, so people might just think someone sounds familiar, but not bother to confirm it.

Gamertell has compiled a list of 10 prolific, famous and noteworthy voice actors who have lent their talents to video games. Not all of the games that the following actors have appeared in will be mentioned, just a few of the more famous entries as well as significant roles in TV series.

Marvel, Nicktoons team to bring Iron Man and Wolverine to the small screen

Today is a day for Marvel Comic fans to stand up and cheer. Marvel and – believe or not – Nickelodeon have announced that they are brining Iron Man and X-Men to the small screen in the form of two, all new, 26 half hour animated episodes to be aired on Nickelodeon’s Nicktoons Network.

The X-Men series will be titled: Wolverine & the X-Men, as the series is looking to cash in on the most popular X-Men of them all, Wolverine, who will also be getting his own solo movie due to be released either late this year or early 2009…

Harvey Birdman flies onto the Wii

Capcom has announced it will be bringing Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law to the Wii. The Phoenix Wright-style courtroom caper was previously announced for the PSP and PS2, and will be available on all three platforms November 13, 2007.

The game is essentially Phoenix Wright on steroids, with all the zany humor of the TV series. Capcom is calling it “a fully animated interactive adventure game that merges the fun and mayhem of the popular Adult Swim TV show with Capcom’s unique style of gameplay.”

This power combo sounds like it could actually work quite nicely, given…
