Call of Duty: Black Ops on Wii is quite the enigma. It was a mystery before release and it’s kind of one now. You see you wouldn’t expect the Wii port of a big blockbuster game like Black Ops to be any good. Typically, third party multipla...

Rock Band 3 (Wii) Review
I was always quite partial to the Rock Band series, more so than the Guitar Hero series following Guitar Hero 2. This probably makes a lot of sense when you consider all those games had the same developer. There’s one major difference though: Ro...

Sonic Colours (Wii) Review
Sonic has been a franchise that has been pretty down in the dumps recently. There’s been many attempts to breathe new life into the franchise we all knew and loved back when SEGA manufactured consoles, and now, after all the human companions, an...

NBA Jam (Wii) Review
BOOM-SHAKA-LAKA! That’s right, it’s been well over a decade since the smash hit NBA Jam graced the SNES and Mega Drive in all its glory (and let’s not forget where it started, at the arcades). The classic version is also a classic ga...

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II (Wii) Review
Star Wars has been one of those franchises that I grew up with, and as such, have a bit of a fondness for. Additionally, and this may seem like blasphemy, I really enjoyed the prequel trilogy for what it was. With the creation of The Force Unleashe...

The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest (Wii) Review
I must admit, I’m not too much of a Lord of the Rings fan. Heck, the last game I played from the franchise was The Lord of the Rings: Conquest for the Nintendo DS, which I reviewed also – so I had to play it. And (big confession coming up)...

GoldenEye 007 (Wii) Review
And here we are, talking about a game that I would never have expected to come to fruition. A collaboration between Nintendo, Activision and Dead Space Extraction developer, Eurocom, GoldenEye 007 is the first true reimagining of the now famous 1997...

DJ Hero 2 (Wii) Review
Music-based games have become all the rage in the last couple of years, and on the back of the mega success that franchises such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band have seen, it is likely to continue for some time. The Guitar Hero franchise is perhaps the m...

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions (Wii) Review
I’ve never been a huge fan of the Spider-Man franchise, either the comics or video games. I somewhat enjoyed the movies though I also acknowledge that they’ve been losing their lustre, much like the series was in terms of videogames. Spide...

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 ...
