007: Quantum of Solace

Nov 4, 2008

While trying to straddle several genres, 007 once again comes up short of anything more than an OK time.

ActRaiser - Virtual Console

May 29, 2007

You might remember ActRaiser as a genre-blending platformer/sim from Enix. Well, now it's headed to the Wii's Virtual Console service.

Alien Syndrome

Jul 24, 2007

Despite an interesting RPG system, control issues, blah design and repetitive blasting cause this shooter to fall short of nearly twenty years worth of anticipation.

Altered Beast - Virtual Console

The Ant Bully

Nov 19, 2007

What could've been a fun, if pedantic, romp through the garden is crippled by boring missions, inconsistent mechanics, and lackluster aesthetics.

Avatar: The Last Airbender - Into the Inferno

Oct 13, 2008

A passable release whose Wii-specific controls help overcome its crippled camera and repetitive gameplay.

Battalion Wars 2

Oct 29, 2007

Despite its overly complex control scheme, Battalion Wars 2 becomes immensely enjoyable after learning its ins and outs.

Bee Movie Game

Oct 30, 2007

An uninspiring animated adaptation is even worse on the Wii, which earns its own distinct iteration with abysmal presentation and a gimped campaign.

Ben 10 Alien Force

Ben 10 follows the adventures of a boy who discovers a wristwatch that enables him to transform into different aliens all while retaining his 10-year-old personality. This means he's still a little wussy boy even after he turns into some big alien.

Ben 10: Protector of Earth

Oct 30, 2007

Mashing buttons is basically all Ben 10 has to offer. Here's a more fitting name - Ben 7.

Bomberman '93 - Virtual Console

Bonanza Bros. - Virtual Console

Bonk's Adventure - Virtual Console

Bully: Scholarship Edition

Mar 4, 2008

Take the tough kids down a notch and rule the school with an iron Wii Remote, as thuggish protector of the weak Jimmy Hopkins.

Chicken Little: Ace in Action

Egghead Chicken Little transforms himself into a buff galactic action hero for this platforming movie adaptation sequel.

CID the Dummy

CID makes his debut in this side-scrolling 3D platformer where it's as much fun dishing out the pain as it is making this crash test dummy take it.

The Club

Next-gen third-person shooter from Project Gotham Racing 3 developer, Bizarre Creations

Code Lyoko Quest for Infinity

Nov 16, 2007

We may not know our 'digital sea' from our 'Skidblanir,' but we know a dud when we see one.

Comix Zone - Virtual Console

Crash Bandicoot: Mind Over Mutant

Oct 7, 2008

Entry number 15 (!) in the Crash Bandicoot series offers more action, more platforming, and adds the abillity to hijack your opponent's abillities. The controls are a bit squirrely but Mind Over Mutant has lots to do and lavish effects.
