Just Dance 2 had me from the moment I started playing the first song, which if I remember correctly was A-Punk by Vampire Weekend, one of my favorites. And that’s a lot to say considering I was expecting this to be complete garbage and something I got to keep my girlfriend and friends entertained during parties with its gimmicks. Who would’ve thought this would be one of the most fun rhythm games I’ve played and a…
The 007 videogame series has had a rough time since it hit its peak with Everything or Nothing back in 2004: GoldenEye: Rogue Agent was at best a mediocre FPS and at worst a tedious exercise in frustration, From Russia With Love was decent enough to play all the way through but utterly forgettable, Quantum of Solace was a step in the right direction but it was held back by glitches and a frustrating campaign and…
Pros: Superb graphics – Great use of the analog stick- Good Soundtrack and sound effects - Nice sense of speed – It’s just plain fun Cons: Only two player multiplayer ________________ Wave Race is one of Nintendo's best and unfortunately underrated series, it made its debut back in the Gameboy in 1992 and the sequel was released for the N64 in November 1996, it was extremely fun back then and its extremely fun right…
Pros : Good graphics – Superb licensed soundtrack – It's the perfect game if you're felling bloodthirsty – Miami is wonderfully recreated Cons: Bland animations – Bad camera – Uninteresting missions - Rewrites one of the most iconic scenes of the movie ________________ Scarface makes it's debut on the Wii with the world is yours, a port of a 2006 Xbox and PS2 game and it's the best version of the game, not that the…
Pros: Some of the Gamecube's best graphics – The same incredible gameplay we’re used to albeit with a few changes – Great music – Still has a lot of the classic Mario charm. Cons: The camera can be very annoying – Voice acting is awful. ________________ Super Mario Sunshine is the successor to the highly acclaimed and innovative Super Mario 64, but this one it's not innovative in any way, yet it's extremely fun and…
The Good: Pick up and play gameplay - Fantastic multiplayer - Arcade football at it's best The Bad: Boring Single player - Not enough characters - Things get a little too hectic at times _______ Mario sports games have always been excellent, ever since the N64 days with Mario Golf and Mario Tennis. And the original Mario Strikers is not an exception, taking the world's most famous sport to the Mario universe with…
The Good: Great graphics - Superb controls and gameplay - Incredible soundtrack - Great Value - Creepy enviroments - Awesome boss fights and enemies. The Bad: Even though the graphics are great there's not an upgrade from the gamecube version - Ashley is very annoying. ____________________________ Back in 2005 Capcom released a game for the game Gamecube that became one of the sigle greatest games ever created, that…
The Good: New innovative control scheme that works well – Decent online mode – Great animations – Pro Evo is back on a Nintendo home console The Bad: Music is a bit repetitive – Lack of many licensed teams _______________ Football/Soccer on the wii has been nothing but a disappointment so far, first with Mario Strikers Charged which was decent but not really great and then with Fifa 08, which turned out to be the…
The Good: Nice art style – The combat is interesting at first... The Bad: ...but that interest fades away after a few minutes – Repetitive gameplay will make you want to kill kittens – Looooong loading times– The music is repetitive – Lame story mode ____________ Bleach: Shattered Blade is the first game of the series on the wii and while i had hopes for this to become one of -if not- the best wii fighter of the…
The Good: Beautiful artistic graphics and soundtrack – Great puzzle design – Lovable characters – Superb use of the Wiimote – Fun for the whole family The Bad: Weak story ________________ Zack & Wiki is one of those games that doesn't look so good in paper, and really what can be good about a pirate kid with a flying monkey that turns into a bell as a partner? It sounds like a Cartoon Network show. But its so much…

The Good: Beautiful artistic and sound design - Great story – Long adventure with lots of tasks to do – Fantastic gameplay The Bad: Minor graphical and gameplay flaws – It ends ______________ Of the many ports that have been released on the wii, none has been so awaited like Okami. This game first appeared on the Ps2 back in 2006 and as great as it was it didn't sell very well, this time the game gets a second…
The Good: Addictive gameplay – Really fun – Multiple paths to choose from – Lots of unlockables – You can upload your scores and watch leaderboards via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection The Bad: Too Short _________ Ghost Squad is one of those games you don't expect to be good. I mean let's face it: What's so good about a three year old port of an arcade game, specially considering how bad these wiimakes released last year…
The Good: Great gameplay – Superb voice acting and soundtrack – Plenty of mission variety – Huge city to explore, without loading times – stays true to the spirit of the film The Bad: Outdated graphics – Manual aim is not very good – No Al Pacino __________________________ Based on the 1972 classic film "The Godfather", EA brings The Godfather: Blackhand edition to the Wii with surprisingly good results that stay…

The Good: Outstanding visuals Superb gameplay Incredible soundtrack Great Value Great story Huge world to explore with tons of minigames and sidequest- Great dungeon design - Interesting (and lovable) characters. The Bad: Sailing and the constant use of the Wind Waker is annoying One last tedious fetch quest ____________ Back in 1999 Nintendo released what would be one of the most innovative games ever created…
The Good: Fixed camera and framerate allows you to see the action better Superb (and responsive) controls A more cinematic story mode Plenty of characters to choose from Great artistic graphics and character models A lot of gameplay modes increases the replay value Fun multiplayer Tons of voice acting Colourful presentation The Bad: Laggy online play It tells the same old DBZ story all over again ________________…
The Good: Multiplayer gives it a little replay value The Bad: Only 2 hours long Awful frame rate and camera Mindless button mashing combat Ugly graphics Only a few characters to choose from No Majin Buu saga ________________ When you have terrific fighting games making it one by one into the best sellers list, what do you do? you make an awful repetitve beat em' up using a great licence. This game is meant to take…
The Good: Perfect controls Beautiful artistic graphics and great soundtrack Great voice acting Superb boss battles The Bad: Doors still take about 10 seconds to open ________________ After much, and i mean very much hype Metroid Prime 3: Corruption the latest game in the long running saga is here, courtesy of Retro Studios, the developers of the previous 2 games. Did it deliver? Yes. Was all the hype worthy? Yes.…
