Wario Ware Smooth Moves for the Wii – In playing this game I discovered a maxim that holds true. In observing my personal failures and some of my friend’s successes in playing the Wario Ware mini games, I discovered this: The extent to which you are good at Wario Ware is the extent to which …

Review - Wario Ware Smooth Moves
Monday, March 19th, 2007 by chuckReview - Sonic and the Secret Rings
Wednesday, March 14th, 2007 by christianHere is perhaps my most controversial review ever. Not because of what I have to say about Sonic and the Secret Rings, but because of the context in which I say it. I was unable to finish Sonic, not because of time constraints (it was a rental), but because I gave up on …
Review - Super Swing Golf
Saturday, February 3rd, 2007 by tonyAfter playing my first round of Wii Sports golf I couldn’t wait for a developer to make a golf simulator for the system. I’m a huge fan of the Tiger Woods and Links series and an actual real-life golfer and the possibility of getting a solid golf sim on the Wii was quite exciting. …
Review - Excite Truck
Friday, January 26th, 2007 by mattExcite Truck has a lot to live up to. First, it’s one of only three first-party titles to launch with the Wii, and you know that consumers were looking at Nintendo for a reason to give their crazy new gaming interface a chance. Second, with Monster 4×4 World Circuit and GT Pro failing to meet …
Madden on Wii
Thursday, January 18th, 2007 by christianA while ago I had a bit of a rant about Madden football, where I said that no matter how much the game bugs me, I always end up playing each new version. It’s happened again, with a twist; my first experience with Madden ‘07 was on the Wii.
I’m not sure how …
Review - Trauma Center: Second Opinion
Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007 by mattAfter their small splash in the DS world with last year’s Under the Knife, Atlus has rolled out the operating table once again with Wii’s Trauma Center: Second Opinion. Atlus showed us a great way to use the touch-screened handheld with Under the Knife, but have they done the same for the Wii and its …
Review - Super Star Soldier on the Virtual Console
Wednesday, December 13th, 2006 by mattOriginally released in 1991 for the NEC TurboGrafx-16, Super Star Soldier is an old-school shooter that really pushes your buttons.
If you kids want to see how bad we old geezer gamers had it back in the day, then you need to play Super Star Soldier. There are no save points, and forget about unlimited continues. …
Review - Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (Wii)
Friday, December 8th, 2006 by tonyMarvel: Ultimate Alliance is a great game … just not for the Wii. I originally played it about a month ago on an XBox 360 and was quite impressed, and then I noticed that it was launching with the Wii. Something told me to lay off the knee-jerk purchase and use good ol’ …
Review - Red Steel
Friday, December 8th, 2006 by mattIf you’ve paid attention to some of the reviews Red Steel has gotten, you probably have no idea what the game is really like. The scores are all over the place, and reviewers just can’t seem to agree on what is good or bad about the game. Some love the sword fighting, some don’t. Some …
Review - Rampage: Total Destruction (Wii)
Tuesday, December 5th, 2006 by tonyThanks to GameFly, I’m able to get my hands on games like this for a negligible cost, taking some of the sting away. I guess I wasn’t really expecting much from this game but I was still rather disappointed. I enjoyed playing the past iterations of the series… I mean, as much as one can …
