Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock (Wii) Review
To me, it is quite surprising that with the annual releases, sometimes even bi-annual, that Guitar Hero / Band Hero have not burnt out. Instead, they’re still selling pretty well, from what I can see anyway. Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is the ...

DJ Hero (Wii)
It’s pretty safe to say that most people are getting a little burnt out on ’Hero’ games, and with a ton of releases in the Guitar Hero franchise this year you can’t blame the average gamer. So when DJ Hero was announced it was ...

The Beatles: Rock Band (Wii) Review
The Beatles: Rock Band superbly mixes fun, skill-based gameplay with a wonderfully accessible soundtrack to produce a high point in the ever-growing rhythm-action genre. An extremely high level of attention to detail has been applied to the production...
