It’s another slow week on the new release front, with just two new titles hitting retail store shelves. One of those just happens to be the latest Wolfenstein outing on the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. On the other hand, the final and best looking of the Winter of Xbox Live Arcade line up, Shadow Complex is available later tonight.

When you spend most of your gameplay hours wrangling new release games for review, you do not typically get the opportunity to sit down and soak up the atmosphere to the same extent as a regular player does. Once those end credits roll, you’re onto the next one; sometimes a cause of frustration, particularly when the summer movie season is in full swing and rushed licensed titles are piling up on your desk, leaving you totally jaded. Sometimes you just need to step back from it all and remember what you enjoy about the hobby.
This week, we’ll look at a few of those little things that we really like in video games.

Today is Easter Sunday – a religious occasion for some, a celebration of new life for others, but almost universally celebrated with the gorging of chocolate. A common fixture of Easter Sunday for many children is the Easter Egg Hunt, a concept which stretches over into the world of video games, where instead of chocolatey goodness, game developers hide little secrets, amusing anecdotes and references to past products.
This week, The Warp Pipe will look at a couple of our favourite video game Easter Eggs.

One of the big criticisms of the Wii is that it is filled with crappy mini-game collections. There’s always someone who will challenge this claim, but this week’s release schedule should be enough to silence them, with no less than four mini-game compilations hitting the Nintendo console. On the good side of the gaming spectrum, the long-awaited strategy sim Empire: Total War hits the PC, and the oft-delayed Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia debuts on the DS.

I’d planned on having a topic that was a little more robust for this week’s Warp Pipe, but the record heatwave working its way through Adelaide and Melbourne and my lack of air-conditioning has pushed that back a bit. Fortunately, my time with Melbourne’s 40+ degree summer days will be cut short as I’m packing up and moving back to Queensland.
The cheap little fan on my desk is working just well enough to enable the compiling of another list of random video game facts and trivia.

2008 has been a little different from the standard industry year, in that we’ve seen a lot of major titles released outside of the holiday shopping season. Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Grand Theft Auto IV and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots were all released in the first half of the year. One would think that that might make for a less than stellar holiday line up, but the game publishers of the world (bar Nintendo) are inclined to prove otherwise.
Over the next two weeks (due to the sheer number of releases), The Warp Pipe will be boldly predicting the quality of new games in the next quarter.

In January, we told you about the First Annual Xbox LIVE Arcade Awards, with information about how to vote for your favourites. The votes have all been tallied up now, more than 26,000 of them - and the winners have been announced at this week's Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco.
To recap - the finalists in each category were chosen by a select handful of industry journalists, and then voting was opened on the following six categories: Best Overall Arcade Game, Best Classic Game, Best Original Game, Best Family Friendly Game, Best Competitive Multiplayer Game and Best Cooperative Multiplayer Game. There were also four categories decided by sales and gameplay data, staff vote, or online Metacritic score.
