Deadly Creatures - first look

Wii Preview | Deadly Creatures

How’s this for an opener? A gas station manager, incensed by seeing his beloved business go up in flames, pins the crime on a scorpion and a tarantula. Rewind time 24 hours to follow said beasties as we work toward, and discover the reasons behind, this unlikely conclusion.

It’s a time-hopping structure cribbed from Tarantino in a world nabbed from David Attenborough - an odd pairing. It’s also quite ...

Death Jr. II: Root of Evil - hands-on

Wii Preview | Death, Jr. II: Root of Evil

We thought Death Jr. II: Root of Evil was a mixed bag when it first released on the PSP in 2006. It was packed with personality thanks to its kooky Tim Burton-esque character designs and quirky humor. However, it also gave us a bit of deja vu - in the bad way - with its rough controls and tons of running and jumping that felt too familiar for its own good.But publisher, Eidos’ Matt Dahlgren thinks that Death Jr. II was actually meant to ...

Deca Sports - hands-on

Wii Preview | Deca Sports

Remember that tech demo that shipped with the Wii? Had a few playable sports games, convinced your parents they weren’t complete squares and was fun for about a week? We don’t either, but Hudson is set to one-up Nintendo’s meek sample with Deca Sports, a collection of 10 games that are anything but mini. We had a chance to play five of Deca’s offerings: Badminton, Curling, Kart Racing, Soccer, and Figure Skating. We came ...

Deca Sports

Wii Preview | Deca Sports

Everyone loves Wii Sports, and in Japan - where it isn’t bundled with the console - it has sold in excess of a squillion copies, or thereabouts. The latest contender in the quest to outdo Nintendo’s motion-sensing masterstroke, Deca Sports has gone for the ‘bigger is better’ approach - it’s packed with 10 fully fledged sports games, and if it plays as good as it looks, it might be a great value.The list of events: ...

Deca Sporta

Wii Preview | Deca Sports

Oct 19, 2007 Everyone's got Wii Sports, everyone's played it and everyone's still playing it. It's wrist-bustingly successful, which makes it an utter surprise that it's taken this long for dollar-seeking moneymen to grab a slice of the action - though Deca Sporta seems to try and improve the model rather than pilfer from ...

Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed

Wii Preview | Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed

Brain-eating robots. DNA-stealing aliens. Hundreds killed in extra-terrestrial firefights. On paper, the Destroy All Humans franchise sounds like one of the most violent experiences gaming can offer. But mixed in with all the vicious action are farting mechs, cartoony anal probes and some pretty clever jokes from the writers of Spongebob Squarepants. Big Willy Unleashed, the third entry in this enduringly popular series, keeps all of the humor and over-the-top alien weaponry of its predecessors ...

Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed

Wii Preview | Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed

Our biggest beef with Destroy All Humans 2 was that it felt like the usually coldhearted alien, Crypto was more concerned with saving the world than destroying humans. But it looks like this won't be a problem in Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed. In this mouth watering follow up - set after the events in Destroy All Humans 2 - Crypto decides to open his own restaurant which features human flesh as the secret ingredient. Although capturing and cooking people serves Crypto's antipathy ...

Dewy's Adventure - hands-on

Wii Preview | Dewy's Adventure

Even though this Wii-exclusive title was just revealed a couple of months ago, we've already got two previews covering his wet 'n' wild exploits. Up until this point, it was a hands-off experience. Now we've spent a good while slipping and oozing around his sugary sweet universe and can clear up a few nagging little issues. First, Dewy's a drop on the go. He certainly does like to glide around as you tilt the world with the remote, and as such can be a slick lil' maniac to control. Getting him ...

Dewy's Adventure

Wii Preview | Dewy's Adventure

Water is mucky: Its transparent and innocent nature disguises rocky minerals, sewage, treatment plant chemicals and all manner of grim things that fall off human bodies and get sucked down the drain. And so it is with Dewys Adventure, a watery challenge that flows through and pilfers from countless gaming strata like a bottle of Perrier with a swag bag tucked under its ...

Dewy's Adventure

Wii Preview | Dewy's Adventure

You're a blessed dew drop out to save the world. Still with us? If you are, you could be in for a real treat - the just-announced Dewy's Adventure may look childish and saccharine, but hey, so does Mario. While we're not ready to put this Wii exclusive on par with Nintendo's main man, the game does sport some workable ideas that easily make it a title worth watching. Making full use of the remote, Dewy puts you in control of the Saturday-morning-esque world rather than li'l Dewy himself. The ...
