By Stephen Totilo The only game this fall that lets you shout the clothes of Santa Claus is a platformer without a jump button, a mix of Katamari Damacy and Mario, and another strong third-party original for the Wii. Confused by our reviews? Read our review FAQ.

Dj Hero offers a variety of music from Hip-Hop to Rock, which will suit any gamer old and new into music & rhythm games. The turntable controller feels very durable, however the crossfader on the controller will need some adjustment. It doesn't seem to want to lock into the center very we...

Don't believe me? Last year's Need For Speed Undercover was, wait for it, the 126th best-selling Wii game in the UK, at which point "best-selling" seems like the wrong description. NFS Undercover on Wii was outsold by gaming powerhouses such as Pippa Funnell: Ranch Rescue, Big Catch: Bas...

By RawmeatCowboy “The game does start off as easy as its handheld sibling did (by the end of World 3 we had earned 68 lives), but it soon gets fiendishly difficult and will have even the most die-hard Mario players cursing at times.

By Ben Pack Nintendo claims they are "innovators." With the Wii, the DS and the Dsi, many believe that Nintendo has lived up to their claims. Even with these innovations on the hardware side, there is little argument that there is a lack of innovation in third-party developed software. With a few except...

By Mike Fahey Nintendo has been very careful to call Wii Fit a fitness "tool" not a fitness "solution" for obvious legal reasons. Neither Wii Fit nor its successor, Wii Fit Plus, will magically make you thinner or more easily able to resist tasty food. However, there's a lot to be said for a game that makes t...

By AJ Glasser Wii Fit Plus was developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo for the Wii on October 4.

By Stephen Totilo What they'd tell you in a catalog is that Dead Space Extraction is the Wii prequel to last year's PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 sci-fi horror hit Dead Space.

By Jason Chen The hardware is a big step forward, but it's not the end of the road.

By Chris Kohler Wii Sports, packed in with Wii, is the best-selling videogame of all time. Wii Sports Resort is its sequel, packaged with and requiring the use of Wii MotionPlus, a small adapter that plugs into the Wii controller and adds the ability to detect linear motion, not just rotation. 50, Nintendo

By Peter Ha Again, I hate to make direct comparisons to the other big boy consoles, but High Voltage really hit it out of the park for multiplayer mode. Sure, it pales in comparison to what we’re used to on the Xbox 360, but The Conduit’s multiplayer on the Wii kicks some serious ass.

By Chris Schilling Wii Sports Resort represents a difficult balancing act - it’s a game which has to sell MotionPlus to the masses, convince the core gamer of both its value as a peripheral in its own right and its potential for future titles - especially in the wake of Natal and Sony’s new motion wand - and to he...

By Chris Kohler Mario Kart Wii includes the Wii Wheel controller (right), a plastic shell that you insert the Wiimote into.

By Luke Plunkett How awful? See above. While every console of the past eight years (sorry Dreamcast) have seen their games average around 69-71%, the average Wii score is only 64%.

By David Hinkle Finally, you can also engage in Classic Controller or GameCube Controller modes, which allow you to use either.

By David Hinkle While it's quite comical when the cursor is changed during cutscenes to funny shapes such as a mustache, allowing you to make a few jokes at the game's characters' expense, none of the game's controls feel suited to the Wii.
