Baroque

Wii Preview | Baroque

Purged by flames, the world’s remaining population is mutated by distorted fantasies, created to help stomach the inhospitable remains. Heartless meshes of flab, cogs and metalwork - enough to give even Silent Hill’s freaks the willies - these ‘meta-beings’ crawl the world, devouring humanity’s leftovers. Distorted fantasy being the very definition of ‘baroque’ itself. Animal Crossing it ain’t. It ...

Battalion Wars 2

This is the summer for online multiplayer. Well, assuming we get Battalion Wars before the summers over. Which, er, we wont. But with its continually delayed but impressive-looking stages and three - count 'em - different online multiplayer modes, “BWii” has us shoving the nearest cushion down our throats to avoid biting our tongues off in giddy excitement. ...

Battalion Wars 2

Wii Preview | Battalion Wars 2

Wednesday 23 August 2006 After a lengthy wait in the lengthy Wii queue - the Leipzig Game Convention really is the new E3! - we were able to play a multiplayer match of the recently announced Battalion Wars 2. Featuring the Xylvanians and other familiar sides from the original (the final game will feature six playable sides), we were tasked with protecting positions on the map from rampaging show-goers. Looking at Battalion Wars 2 in action, you might be forgiven for thinking it's still the ...

Battalion Wars 2 - hands-on

Wii Preview | Battalion Wars 2

After a lengthy wait in the lengthy Wii line in Leipzig, we were able to play a multiplayer match of the recently announced Battalion Wars 2. Featuring the Xylvanians and other familiar faces from the original (the final game will feature six playable armies), we were tasked with protecting positions on the map from rampaging show-goers. Looking at Battalion Wars 2 in action, you might be forgiven for thinking it's still the original game - the major difference being, of course, the control ...

Band Mashups - first look

Wii Preview | Battle of the Bands

Even though we're drowning in Guitar Hero sequels and Rock Band peripherals, gamers just can't get enough of the rapidly expanding music genre. Wii gamers, on the other hand, only recently got in on the act with Guitar Hero III. But without downloadable tracks and Rock Band still to come, what're faux rockers to do? ...

Big Beach Sports - hands-on

Wii Preview | Big Beach Sports

Understandably, we were a bit cynical when we heard about yet another casual sports minigame fest for Wii, but it looks like Big Beach Sports is actually set to deliver a few fresh twists on the genre. We were told the game is aimed at the "European audience," which explains the inclusion of cricket and soccer (football) in a beach game. Rounding out the six total games in Big Beach are volleyball, American football, disc golf (Frisbee golf) ...

Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree

Wii Preview | Big Brain Academy

The fundamental concept of physical weight training is actually that you use the muscle in question - say, your biceps - so much that it is exhausted, gets injured and heals up bigger and stronger. This is important because Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree borrows this premise, then applies it to your gray matter. It may be fun, but make no mistake: this game wants to injure your brain. The method the game uses to create this synaptic apocalypse is by subjecting you to 15 different mini-games, ...

Big Brain Academy - hands on

Wii Preview | Big Brain Academy

A year ago everyone was unscrewing their heads and proclaiming their undying love for Nintendo's handheld hit, Brain Age. A few months later, in June '06, the second wave of mind-muscling software came in the form of Big Brain Academy, a series a quirky minigames that focused more on fun than tracking actual performance as Brain Age did. In June 2007, one year after the DS game hit, Big Brain Academy will return with another round of logic puzzles, this time on the Wii. If you spent any time ...

Blast Works - first look

Wii Preview | Blast Works: Build, Fuse and Destroy

October 05, 2007 There's a growing tendency of late for companies to buy up succesful PC homebrew or casual games and dump them onto every system they can. The results usually range from uninspired to disastrous, but sometimes they rock. flOw on PS3 is captivating, Line Rider looks great, and Blast Works could be fantastic. Based upon a PC homebrew game called Tumiki Fighters, it actually combines the gameplay of old fashioned, 2D shooters with the sticky world of ball-rolling sensation ...
