Opoona - Wii
A very unusual little game for the Wii that combines community and relationship-building elements with a traditional RPG - a bit like, say, Animal Crossing but with a proper adventure to work through. Even better is the way it uses the Wiis Remote and Nunchuck, allowing you to move with the analog stick and battle by swinging the remote.

We reckon this is just about old enough now

The last outing for Marvel's fab four, published by Activision, not 2K Games, was a mediocre affair with predictable button-bashing action that barely tested your skills. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer benefits from PS3's bolder, crisper graphics, while the gameplay's been enhanced to test your wit as well as your rapid-finger
The world's biggest football (or soccer, if you prefer) franchise is back, and this year FIFA is making tweaks and tactical changes that should give it even more dominance over rivals like PES. Here is everything we know about FIFA 14 so far.
Many people – most of them bigwigs at Nintendo – have said that the graphical quality of Wii games isn’t of any great importance. Sales figures have probably proved them right over the last couple of years, but now Square Enix will be putting the theory to a radical new test with a dual-format game that’s identical on both Wii and DS. It sounds like a brilliant idea.
The Crystal Chronicles series has never quite achieved its potential. From baffling design decisions – such as the original requiring not only a GameCube but also a mess of cables and a GBA for each player – to Ring of Fates’ curious omission of online play, Square Enix have always managed to stab themselves in the foot. Until now, that is.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles on the GameCube was, well, a bit problematic. Some great ideas - making an action-based, cooperative Final Fantasy - worked well. Others... like keeping your characters chained together by forcing them to stay in a tiny circle of light or take damage, or making everyone use a GBA to control the game, were not so great. Fortunately, the developers have learned from user feedback and are making changes to FFCC: Ring of Fates for the DS.
Since each player has his
There have been two brand new Japanese trailers of FFCC which makes us very excited indeed. The graphical style is in keeping with the recent Final Fantasy III on DS, which is one of the prettiest DS games ever seen.
One trailer shows a little cutscene of the two main characters examining a crystal, while the other one (surely the shortest trailer in the world) shows a teeny bit of fighting gameplay. The fighting looks very free, with impressive-looking Matrix-jumps and moves designed to kill
Like the original Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles on GameCube, Ring of Fates is a dungeon-crawling adventure that plays a little bit like a faster-paced Phantasy Star Online. You control one plucky young warrior, accompanied ideally by three like-minded friends with whom youll combine magic attacks and take specialised roles in the relentless combat that forms the bulk of the game.
The D-pad makes your bloke scamper around, and every other button is used for picking things up, attacking with
