By holding down the X button you are now able to rewind time all the way to the begining of the level you are playing. This is used ingeniously in puzzles throughout the game and is sure to challenge you throughout. Whether you’re new to the genre or an oldschool platforming master you will love this game. For 15 dollars or 1200 microsoft points(expensive but worth every penny), this is a must buy.

“Nintendo’s upcoming Wii MotionPlus accessory for the revolutionary Wii Remote controller again redefines game control, by more quickly and accurately reflecting motions in a 3-D space. The Wii MotionPlus accessory attaches to the end of the Wii Remote and, combined with the accelerometer and the sensor bar, allows for more comprehensive tracking of a player’s arm position and orientation, providing players with an unmatched level of precision and immersion. Every slight movement players make with their wrist or arm is rendered identically in real time on the screen, providing a true 1:1 response in their game play. The Wii MotionPlus accessory reconfirms Nintendo’s commitment to making games intuitive and accessible for everyone. Nintendo will reveal more details about the Wii MotionPlus accessory and other topics Tuesday morning at its E3 media briefing.”

An attentive reader over at Kotaku was watching one of the bonus segments on an MGS4 bonus disc when he came across a fimiliar looking console sitting on the desk of Hideo Kojima, the creator of the Metal Gear Series.
