Wii Preview | Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party
The last time we saw Dance Dance Revolution on the Wii, we were almost killed. Giving game journalists alcohol and then asking them to dance is dangerous enough. Requiring that they use their hands in addition to their legs - as Hottest Party does - should qualify as accessory to murder. Wiimotes and Nunchuks were whipping through the air at an alarming rate and we were lucky to avoid serious injury. Now that we've seen and played a much completer version of the game, the potential for fun is ...

Wii Preview | Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party
For the first time in years, the long running Dance Dance Revolution series is actually undergoing a, well, revolution. Konami has announced that its franchise is coming to the Nintendo Wii with Hottest Party sometime in 2007. When you think about it, this is a no brainer. Dancing titles have always appealed to a wider demographic than most other games, and the Wii is proving that it can attract a similarly diverse audience. So you have the genre and the console that draw both hardcore fans ...

Wii - de Blob - De Blob - multiplayer hands-on

We were already excited about de Blob back when we first previewed it last summer. THQ had us somewhere between the words Wii Remote and Jackson Pollock. And even if de Blob didn’t feature fresh, innovative Wii mechanics in gameplay (which it does, in flying colors), the plot is still compelling: de Blob and his pals liberating the world from the monochromatic forces of the INKT Corporation with lurid graffiti. ...

Wii Preview | de Blob
Wii - de Blob - de Blob After five minutes of de Blob, your TV screen will resemble the aftermath of a John Woo firefight in the Art Attack studio. Playing as a dull grey blob (de Blob), you’re never spawned more than a remote flick away from a paint canister; lock on with Z, flick and you’ll dive through it, coating yourself in paint. Here’s where the mess begins… Smacking against monochrome buildings and the bleached trees of Chroma city ...

Wii Preview | de Blob
Jan 11, 2008 De Blob centers around the hostile takeover of a hapless alien city by the I.N.K.T. Corporation - horrible monochrome fascists out to rob citizens of their color and their free will. The Color Revolution - led by a ball-shaped creature named de Blob - is out to save the day by sabotaging I.N.K.T. facilities and jazzing up the town, all with the power of paint and the soul of funk. Levels are on a timer and de Blob gains time bonuses for completing missions within a level. The four ...

Wii Preview | de Blob
Back in the fifties, B-movie monster The Blob heralded from another planet, but we have no idea where The Blob came from. One second THQ was merrily riding the licensed bandwagon, next theyre veering into the crevice of wonderfully ...

A great, big festival of incredi-carnage, Dead Rising on the 360 was at the same time a blistering sandbox version of George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead, and a truly awesome technical showcase for ‘next gen’ hardware. ...

Wii Preview | Deadly Creatures
Wii - Deadly Creatures - Deadly Creatures – hands-on

You can’t get further away from the Nintendo aesthetic than a scorpion pumping its toxic payload into the guts of a stunned wolf spider. When Miyamoto looked into his garden he envisioned Pikmin; when the chaps at Rainbow eyed their Arizona backyard they envisioned a gritty crime thriller played from the perspective of nature’s creepiest crawlies. ...
