It has been a while since I have put on the digital boots for a game of soccer. In fact, apart from a brief stint with FIFA 09 on the DS, the last time I played a soccer game extensively was on the Nintendo 64. I’ve always enjoyed soccer games...

Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition (Wii) Review
Nintendo has been celebrating Mario’s 25th anniversary in a big big way for just over a month now. There have been events, tours, special promotions and they’ve even covered busses all around the country in Mario. Seriously, when was the l...

Just Dance 2 (Wii) Review
A realisation that may come as a shock to much newer players in the gaming world: games are meant to be fun. That’s right, not necessarily the most realistic looking, not the smoothest running, not the most cinematic, but the most fun. Why would...

Wii Party (Wii) Review
I like to think that I’m one of the most open-minded people when it comes to games, and even then, when Nintendo announced Wii Party I was somewhat disappointed. Not only was there no sign of my favourite plumber, it looked terribly generic and...

Gunblade NY and LA Machineguns Arcade Hits Pack (Wii) Review
The arcade scene has pretty much diminished since it reached its peak back in the 90s, and it’s a shame to see such things happen. That being said, a lot of people have seen the Wii as a pretty fitting conduit to bring fully functional ports of ...

PokéPark Wii: Pikachu’s Adventure (Wii) Review
Pokémon is a series that I have admittedly ignored quite a bit ever since they introduced more Pokémon past the Gold and Silver generation. It’s not something that I am proud of, nor is it something that I wish to continue. Havi...

Grease: The Video Game (Wii) Review
It seems like something that would work perfectly, especially with today’s video gaming climate. A game based on a well-regarded musical which includes not only original songs, clips from the musical itself and more gameplay; but also on a platf...

Batman: The Brave and the Bold – The Videogame (Wii) Review
The Batman franchise is a bit all over the place now, and not really in a bad way either. On one hand, we’ve had the rather over the top cheesy films released throughout the early nineties. On the other, we’ve got the comics and the cartoo...

Metroid: Other M (Wii) Review
Let me open this review with a few comments that will most probably ring true. You, as a reader will probably be disappointed with some aspects of my review of Metroid: Other M. Secondly, as a player of the game itself, you will most probably also be ...

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 (Wii) Review
When the Wii was first announced all those years ago, my first thoughts were that such a control scheme would lend itself well to certain games while not being as intuitive for others. Sports games, in particular, would seem to benefit the most from t...
