Review: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 (Wii)

27 Aug 2008 15:09:00 PDT

Written by Doug Aamoth
Here’s one man’s opinion: Nintendo Wii, as a gaming system, was meant for golf. I would have bought the thing if it was called the Nintendo Golf Simulator back when it was released. Nintendo keeps releasing non-golf games for it, yet I just wait for one game every August. The Good The Bad

Opinion: My Compact Super Nintendo

26 Aug 2008 12:51:54 PDT

Written by Gil
I guess what truly makes the SNES one of my favorite systems is the games. Where many systems have only a few gems that make the system worth buying, the SNES had many. PS if you are wondering, yes I do have the original model SNES as well :) Ah yes, my Super NES. I would venture to say that this is up th...

Review : Top Spin 3 for Nintendo Wii

25 Aug 2008 00:31:03 PDT

Top Spin 3 is a pretty darn well put together serious tennis game and the Nintendo Wii version take full advantage of the intuitive motion sensitive controls to put together a pretty good interactive tennis experience. I know that I am not the biggest sports game player but I've found that W...

Review - Bangai-O Spirits (Nintendo DS)

22 Aug 2008 02:05:56 PDT

Written by Mark Brown
If created for Xbox Live Arcade or Playstation Network, then Bangai-O would be a must buy, but on the DS, it should be left for the most hardcore, Japanese fans. Bangai-O Spirits is addictive, unique and extremely inventive, but mercilessly shackled by the technical limitations of the Ni...

Wii MotionPlus Hands-On (Verdict: Melancholy Bliss) [Wii MotionPlus Review]

16 Jul 2008 06:00:00 PDT

Written by Mark Wilson
I respect Nintendo for fixing the shortcomings of their Wiimote. They didn't have to do so to win the console war and make boatloads of money. But I really wish it worked better in the first place and, even more so, that I didn't need to explain to my in-laws why their brand new console is already...

WiiWare — the perfect complement to Nintendo’s own Virtual Console service. And the ideal avenue from which smaller development studios can distribute their retail-unfriendly games. Titles like Defend Your Castle, already a fully playable web-browser experience and something of a...

Review : Guitar Hero : On Tour for the Nintendo DS

23 Jun 2008 23:17:44 PDT

Written by Jake
The game was developed by Vivacious Visions who made the Tony Hawk games for Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DS and Red Octane built the controller. It is a bit more than other Nintendo DS games at $50 but it is totally worth it. It is about half the cost of Guitar Hero 3 and compared to the cost of the...

A desolate wasteland in Russia is devastated by a comet’s explosive rupture upon collision with earth. At least, that’s the most plausible cause – the Tunguska event’s vague speculation and historical mystique lends itself perfectly to Fusionsphere’s point and click revival on Ninte...

The results of those efforts is finally in our hands. Mario Kart Wii has made its way around the world, and we’ve had plenty of time to learn the ins and outs of the title. I will come right out and say that this Mario Kart is not as good as Mario Kart DS. Does that mean that the game is a disaster? Well,...

Written by James
Share This When the Nintendo Wii first came out, the biggest issue was that people would let go of the Wii remote and destroy their brand new TVs. Nintendo solved this issue on its own, adding a tighter cinch cord to better fasten the remotes to our wrists. But then another problem arose for som...

Nintendo Wii Review: Mario Strikers Charged

05 Aug 2007 21:07:52 PDT

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...
