Game Review ( Mario Kart Wii - Wii )

Written by [47](noreply@blogger.com)
Control: 4.5/5 Why people dislike the Wii Wheel, I'll never know, but I think it's great. It took a Grand Prix play to get used to it, and now I don't think I'd ever go use a GameCube controller for this game. There are other ways to play: Wii controller on the side ( Same thing as using the Wii Wheel )...

Written by RawmeatCowboy
“Square’s Super Mario RPG on SNES paved the way for several great Mario-themed RPGs on portable and home consoles alike. While former rival Sega may be over a decade late to the party, getting Sonic Chronicles makes it worth the wait.” - Game Informer

Opinion: Quick Impressions - Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood

25 Sep 2008 19:02:53 PDT

Written by DarkWish
Yesterday, I got my hands on Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood for the Nintendo DS. I’m not a big fan of RPG’s to be honest (except Pokemon and Paper Mario). I don’t know what it is about them, but I just get so bored easily and I can’t get into them. I’m not hating on [...]

1995- NHL '96 - As is required by law in the state of Michigan, my family kept up with hockey fairly regilously. We dutifully bought the first entry in EA's hockey franchise, NHLPA '93, a worthy successor to our last heavily played sports game, Blades of Steel.

Review: Braid (Xbox360)

16 Sep 2008 00:18:52 PDT

Braid takes the form of an old school platformer, those ones that we used to play on the Commodore 64 or the Apple ][. Stages, for the most part don't scroll on forever like in Super Mario Bros, but are usually only a screen or two, with the artists taking advantage of today's big high-definiti...

GameDaily - 80 A major improvement on the formula first introduced in 2005 with “Mario Superstar Baseball” on the GameCube. NGamer UK - 79 GameSpot - 65 It’s not another Mario sports gem, but Mario Super Sluggers still has a rough, unpolished appeal.

Wii Fanboy Review: Mario Super Sluggers

01 Sep 2008 11:30:00 PDT

Written by David Hinkle
Overall, the package here in Mario Super Sluggers is quite appealing. The biggest flaw I can find with the game is that it doesn't contain Wi-Fi support for online play. This makes the replay value come down a bit, because the CPU can be pretty cheap and your friends will really only want to pla...

Mario Kart Wii Review: I'm Not Angry, Just Disappointed

29 Apr 2008 10:00:00 PDT

Written by Luke Plunkett
Fun fact: I'm a total Mario Kart fanboy. For the record: Double Dash is my favourite (I know, I know). So I'm used to watching the Mario Kart series take small, baby-steps forward with each new version. In this case, I was expecting just that. Small steps forward. Mario Kart Wii, however, feels mo...

In other words, use the Wii Remote & nunchuk, and only the Wii Remote & nunchuk. The Wii Wheel and 'Cube controllers should be thought of as Mad Catz peripherals: only for use by guests in multiplayer games. Guests you don't like. As for the Wii Remote on its own...I told you to forget about...

Nintendo Wii Review: Mario Strikers Charged

06 Aug 2007 08:13:51 PDT

Written by Brian Szabelski
The fact that the Wii has been getting so many ports has been a sore spot for many Wii owners, even though games like Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Battalion Wars 2, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl are set to come out in the next few months. However, not every port is cause for conce...

Written by Matt Paprocki
Many of the significant issues with Mario Strikers Charged lie with Super Mario Strikers on the Gamecube. Out of the Mario sports games, this is the least compelling, fun, and inventive. While Mario Golf and Mario Tennis take a backseat, Strikers is the spin-off to gain an unnecessary sequ...

Frankenreview, Mario Strikers Charged (Wii)

02 Aug 2007 11:00:16 PDT

Written by Mark Wilson
Some people call it soccer, others call it football, and most Americans just call it boring. But as the world's national pastime, kicking a ball around into a net is pretty ultimate. Combined with Nintendo's most famous characters in history, you get Mario Strikers Charged.

There are six themed boards in Mario Party 8. To name a few, you have: Donkey Kong, Mario Sunshine, Luigi’s Mansion, and a level that looks like the Super Smash Bros. Melee Earthbound level. Some of the levels have unique elements to them. For instance, in Luigi’s Mansion, the board is a mystery...

GAME: Review: Mario Party 8 for Wii

08 Jun 2007 13:46:00 PDT

Written by James
Graphically and sound-wise, it's about what you'd expect. All your favorites--Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, etc--look a little better than in the past, but not much better than on other Wii games. Meanwhile, the characters keep their ageless sound effects.

Nintendo Wii Review: Super Paper Mario

03 Jun 2007 16:02:06 PDT

Written by Matt Paprocki
Games such as Super Paper Mario are all you need to justify buying a Wii. This is a true system seller, reassuring players that while Nintendo will milk Mario with disasters like Mario Hoops on the DS, there's always a way to bring him back. This is a game just shy of perfection.
