Hey all - this is just to let you know that we'll be taking a short break this month - from roughly 6/21 to 7/1 no new content will be published. You'll still be able to use the site just as you do already.

In other news, we are planning a massive upgrade to Gamers 101. Though we have just gone through one, this one will not be quite as drastic as the first and rather be more a slow unveiling of new features. We've been working hard, and we guarantee that you'll love our new features.

As a little "riddle", unscramble these two words to find out what one of our new features will be:

Hello all!

We are simply posting this to let you know that in a short while, Gamers 101 will be undergoing a massive update. The site will be better organized, easier to use, and just more awesome than ever before.

Better yet, the forum will be open throughout this process!

We are currently working on the update, and you may see a "Coming Soon" Page in the near future, but as we already stated, the forum will still be open.

Thanks a ton, and tell your friends!


Our update is complete! Check out the new Gamers 101!!

  

Apple truly has revolutionized the mobile gaming experience with the iPhone and iPod touch. When Gameloft unveiled their first mobile game, it sent Apple and Gameloft in the right direction.

They have just released one of their best games ...<< MORE >>

Well guys, I'm leaving on a 20 day trip on July 11th, so the site won't be seeing many new features.

Also, as you may have noticed, I've finally made the blog and site match in template...

For those of you subscribed to the newsletter, unfortunately, you will not be receiving an issue for July. Next month, though, we may release 2 issues.

Thank you!

  

Hey guys, just wanted to let you all know that we have recently launched the Gamers 101 Newsletter.

We have started mailing it (for free), but just as a preview, you can see our first issue online. It's a pdf, so you should be able to view it on any computer. Our first issue is already a bit outdated, as soon as it's July, we'll make a new one. Also, we have a letters section (we don't actually take mail - only e-mails), and need some "letters" to put in it (you can send us one by sending an e-mail to write@gamers101.net).

To subscribe (and download the first issue), click here!

Thanks for reading.

I recently picked up my copy of Wii Fit, and so far, it's pretty cool.

  

Hey guys... yeah we know. It's been forever since we posted on the blog. As we said, we've been overwhelmed with technical stuff.

So yeah, as you can see, our blog's design has been updated to match our main site's design, and yes we did update the Mario Kart Wii article. It's in our main site's news section, click here to see it.

Hopefully this blog will be more active in the future, and we'll try to get it active. If you'd like to write for the blog, drop us an email at admin@gamers101.net.

We'll get this updated soon!

Hey guys, I've just received the latest issue of Nintendo Power, and they tell us everything about MK Wii. I'll be updating the other entry about the game soon.


Just wanted to let you all know.

  

This game is really amazing. It is a game that focuses on magic, and is great for all ages and levels of magicians. Though it lacks the story and gameplay of most games, it is still a great game. Included with this game is a special deck of cards, they are very high quality and can be used as normal playing cards.

The game is split into 3 different modes: Magic Training, Magic Show, and Solo Magic. Magic Training helps you master skills that magicians use today. You don't really do any magic in this mode, but it is great for making you better at sleight of hand tricks.

Solo Magic is where the DS does magic for you. It can create some pretty astonishing effects, but this section of the game is for the magicians entertainment only.

Magic Show is where the fun really begins. Here, you do tricks with the DS as your assistant, and the tricks you unlock are very cool! It seems like the developer could have included a few more tricks, but it is pretty easy to make up your own. One of the tricks is a classic card fortune. I won't tell you how its done, but here is what it would be like:

Magician: Pick one card, any card,
Spectator: Okay (Lets say its a 7♣)
Magician: Are you single or married?
Spectator: Single.
Magician: Enters it on the DS. What is your birth sign?
Spectator: Aries.
Magician: Enters it on DS. Look into the crystal ball.
7♣ appears in the crystal ball.

This is just one of many awesome tricks you can do!

This isn't really a review, just wanted to let you all know about this game.

  

Mario Kart Wii has been anticipated for a long time. I will try to give you guys all of the info that has been released.

   

The graphics look very similar to Mario Kart Double Dash!! for Gamecube. They are a little bit sharper, but it looks like the graphics won't be the games strongest point. I'm pretty sure that Nintendo will come up with some way to make the graphics unique.

As always we see a variety of new Karts. Some of them look pretty interesting, we haven't seen many muscle cars in Nintendo games, but Nintendo has included a few in this game. It looks like Nintendo has updated the character's default karts a little.

One new awesome feature that will make this game a huge hit is online play. In online play you can play against up to 12 other players.

Nintendo has included many familiar features to make the game more familiar for veteran players. The game also features many different control options so that beginners have more of a chance against more experienced players. Also, I'm not sure if this works well, but Nintendo has released a new wheel that you fit your Wii Remote into.

This game looks like it will be a great installment in the Mario Kart series, and I will update this as I find out more.
