Wii Preview | PDC World Championship Darts 2008
Oct 23, 2007 After the iffy darts minigame in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, the market has been wide open for a decent darts game on Wii. And this might just be it. PDC World Championship Darts 2008 features 16 professional darts players and their likenesses (although several are said to have asked for a few pounds to be shaved off their virtual selves, so they may be slimmer than you remember) along with facial and body motion-capture. The result is a pleasantly realistic representation of ...

Wii Preview | Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Lets get it out of the way; Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End for the Wii is a different beast then the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. Its no where near as detailed as the high-res/def character designs or levels of its next-gen brethren. In fact, the game itself is entirely different, as it wisely focuses on what the Wiimote was suited for: sword fighting. Based on a combination of the second and third Pirates films, At Worlds End also takes some liberties with the story, as it fills in ...

Wii Preview | Pokemon Battle Revolution
So here it is, seven months after the Wii launched and we're just now getting our first online game - and it's one that's been out in Japan since December 2006. But for the endless Poke-masses, such a delay means nothing. We'll be battling our super-powered 3D Pokemon online regardless of how long Japanese gamers have been doing it. The real question is, how well does Wii's online setup work? We cracked open the new Battle Revolution box, loaded it up and set out to answer that question. The ...

Wii Preview | Pokemon Battle Revolution
While the Pokemon series has been a handheld mainstay for 10 years now, its history on console systems has been rocky at best. Despite its grandiose title and beautiful graphics, Pokemon Battle Revolution is on the road to being just as controversial as its ...

Wii Preview | Prince of Persia: Rival Swords
Prince of Persia: Rival Swords is a remake of Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones which was released in late 2005 on pretty much every format going. But despite its age, Ubisoft hopes that the prospect of playing the game using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk will draw in a few more players. We recently sped down to Ubisoft's offices to get our hands on the single-player mode and take the Prince's acrobatic skills for a workout with the new controllers. First thing to note is that, graphically, it ...

Wii Preview | Prince of Persia: Rival Swords
A refit of the third Prince Of Persia game (The Two Thrones - a return to form after the mess that was The Warrior Within), the main difference seems to be the simple fact that the game uses the remote and nunchuk to affect the Prince's acrobatic wall-running, jumping and ...

Wii Preview | Puzzle Kingdoms
Wii - Puzzle Kingdoms - Puzzle Kingdoms is super hardcore

Last year, Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords became an unlikely addiction for a ton of otherwise hardcore gamers. Seamlessly blending the casual gameplay of Bejeweled with traditional RPG mechanics like leveling, turned-based battles, magic attacks, and a decent story (for those who paid attention), Puzzle Quest practically introduced a new genre. Now, Infinite Interactive, the developer that created Puzzle Quest, brings us another ...
