Wii Preview | Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix
Playing Rockstars Bully made us realize how fun games set in school can be. And also made us wonder why EA has never made free-roaming, school-based Harry Potter games - obviously substituting the cricket bat weapons for magic wands and the bike-stealing with flying brooms. Surely nothing would be better than getting to explore the vast Hogwarts, go to Defense Against the Dark Arts lessons and unleash “Petrificus Totalus” on Professor Snape.

Wii Preview | Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix
When we first learned how the Wii remote worked, our geeky minds immediately cooked up two wonderful, wish fulfilling uses for it. The first, of course, was a light saber.

When it comes to heart-exploding jet action, Namco's Ace Combat series has had the genre cornered for years. But for some, even Ace leans too far to the flight-sim side of things, forcing you to bank, yaw and obey the restrictions of your plane. That's where Heatseeker comes in.

Wii Preview | Heatseeker
Monday 13 November 2006 Top Gun has a lot to answer for. Dodgy '80s haircuts. Unprecedented levels of homoeroticism thinly-veiled as masculine bravado. Tom Cruise's career. But consider its impact on gaming, too. Gamers thrilled by the high altitude stunts of the movie demanded the experience for themselves. The result? 1987's Afterburner. With its moving cabinet and mock cockpit control stick, gamers were given a streamlined arcade taste of gunning down bogeys at four o'clock, though they ...
