Rate Nintendo Wii Review: The Price is Right

Original at Blogcritics external link    Sat, Sep 20

By Tall Writer After a long absence from this video game circuit (anyone remember the Commodore 64 version?), The Price is Right, on the air for more than 35 years, gets remediated on the innovative Wii console. What you watch is what you get in this television game show experience, though you’ll find siz...

Rate Nintendo DS Review: New International Track & Field

Original at Blogcritics external link    Fri, Aug 22

By Tall Writer This Konami game series makes its first appearance on the Nintendo DS. This exclusive title celebrates the 25th anniversary of the arcade game, which then moved to the Nintendo console, then Game Boy and Playstation. This series even had an ESPN tie-in. As always, the series continues to ex...

Rate Nintendo Wii Review: Top Spin 3

Rate Nintendo DS Review: Professor Layton and the Curious Village

Original at Blogcritics external link    Mon, May 12

By Brian Szabelski The DS is in a period of uncertainty. As the handheld becomes more bottled up with quick collections of mini-games and other games geared towards the casual gamer (Imagine Babiez, anyone?), it's becoming a little harder to find true quality games on the DS.Thankfully, Professor Layton an...

Rate Nintendo DS Review: Master of Illusion

Original at Blogcritics external link    Wed, Mar 12

By Brian Szabelski When Nintendo came out with Master of Illusion, I wasn’t impressed very much. A DS game that lets you “learn magic?” Pfffffffft. Sounded dumb.After getting my hands on the game and playing it, Master of Illusion is a fun game, but one limited by tethering the magic to the DS. Sure, the DS can do so...

Rate Nintendo Wii Review: Madden NFL 08

Original at Blogcritics external link    Wed, Aug 22

By Brian Szabelski Last year, Madden 07 was a great surprise for Wii owners who may have expected a poor port of EA Sports’ flagship title. The Wii remote was implemented well, and while it didn’t have the graphics or depth of the Xbox 360 version, it was still a very good game.This year, the franchise is back in Ma...

Rate Nintendo Wii Review: Mario Strikers Charged

Original at Blogcritics external link    Mon, Aug 6

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...

Rate Nintendo Wii Review: Mario Strikers Charged

Original at Blogcritics external link    Sun, Aug 5

Thumbnail

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...

Rate Nintendo DS Review: Card Fighters DS

Original at Blogcritics external link    Tue, Jul 31

Thumbnail

By Matt Paprocki For a small die-hard section of the video game fan base, the Neo Geo Pocket was a special piece of hardware. Yes, its varied library offered some of the best portable fighting games ever made, a couple memorable sports games, and even a few solid puzzle titles. However, there’s one reason to o...

Rate Nintendo DS Review: Cookie & Cream

Original at Blogcritics external link    Mon, Jul 23

Thumbnail

By Matthew Valdez This Nintendo DS title originated from the Playstation 2, where it was a wacky game. Now, it hops into your pockets, with all the crazy puzzles and boss battles from the original with a touch screen twist. Despite its slow-moving pace, it is still a good game. Unfortunately, Cookie & Crea...

Rate Nintendo DS Review: SimCity DS

Original at Blogcritics external link    Sat, Jul 21

Thumbnail

By Tall Writer A bigger screened version would have more appeal, possibly through a Nintendo DS to Wii compatibility add-on similar to the Game Boy Advance adaptor on the bottom of the Gamecube. Gamers could see the screen better, which would great help the building through touch screen issues. Still, e...

Rate Nintendo Wii Review: The Bigs

Original at Blogcritics external link    Tue, Jul 17

Thumbnail

By Matt Paprocki From the “it should be obvious” department comes the second attempt at capturing the national pastime on the Wii. The Bigs is certainly suited for the hardware, and the controls make it loads of fun to play, though some significant tweaking is needed in places. Missing features also drop th...

By Diesel Diesel hails from the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. Living the American dream by feeding off of Guinness and Chipolte, this former punk rock super hero has finally slowed down a little and accepted the fact that he is a better listener of music than a performer.

Rate Nintendo DS Review: Brain Buster Puzzle Pak

By Meryl Nintendo smartly created a genre of games known as Touch Generations that attract all generations, not just the hard core gamer. Such casual games focus on unwinding and brain exercise. Nintendo is definitely onto something as brain exercise games grow more popular as Baby Boomers want t...

Rate Nintendo DS Review: Zendoku

Original at Blogcritics external link    Sun, Jul 8

By Brian Szabelski Ever since the DS and sudoku both became popular, Nintendo's handheld has been flooded with countless sudoku games. Most of them are completely forgettable and incredibly generic, only adding to the number of DS games you'll be able to find in the bargain bin at stores like Gamestop.

By Matt Paprocki Once you've finally experienced the Wii Edition, you'll come away knowing you've played the finest version of one of the greatest titles this industry has ever received. On paper, the motion controlled aiming is nothing to be excited about, and given the numbers of games that have failed...

Rate Nintendo DS Review: Anno 1701: Dawn of Discovery (EU)

Original at Blogcritics external link    Sat, Jul 7

Thumbnail

By Andrew Ogier I've been disappointed with Sim games on the DS lately. First we had Theme Park, which is a port of the 14 year-old SNES game with absolutely nothing new added in. Second, we had Sim City DS, which valiantly attempts to win the DS Sim category with it's classic game play, but stumbles at the fini...

Rate Nintendo DS Review: Touch the Dead

Original at Blogcritics external link    Fri, Jun 29

By Matt Paprocki With no relation to the popular Sega franchise House of the Dead, the development studio that handled Winnie the Pooh's Rumbly Tumbly Adventure on the Game Boy Advance shifts gears (drastically) to Touch the Dead. Dream On Studio brings this shooter to the DS with some unique ideas that un...

By Matthew Valdez 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...

Original at Blogcritics external link    Mon, Jun 25

Thumbnail

By Matt Paprocki Unlike the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, combat here feels more controlled. You know when a hit has connected, instead of flailing fists around hoping to make contact in other editions. Fully performing a combo requires a specific movement of the Remote at the end to dish out full pow...

By Matt Paprocki Scattered between countless drug runs, murder, escort missions and other various side missions is a story struggling to keep pace with the rest of the game. By the time the next plot point arises, you've forgotten the previous cinematic. Slightly upgraded character models seem to be the o...

By Meryl It's standard for Nintendo DS games to provide help the first time players play a game. Players can access the help or tutorial anytime from the main menu. However, the micro-game instructions don't appear in the help section. Not all micro-games are obvious that anyone can figure them out w...

By Kevin Cortez When Diddy Kong Racing first came out for the Nintendo 64, almost ten years ago, I was a huge fan of it. Not only did it feature one of my favorite video game characters, Diddy Kong, but also because it was extremely fun to play on your own, and with others.
