Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World

Wii Preview | Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World isn’t a sequel. It’s not a side-story like Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology, either. But what it really is, that’s hard to say, because there wasn’t much to see at last night’s Bandai Namco press event. We weren’t given a hands-on opportunity with Dawn of the New World - but we did get to see the new monster-catching gameplay feature and we've got some juicy ...

Tamagotchi Party On! hands-on

Wii Preview | Tamagotchi Party On!

We recently got our first hands-on look at Tamagotchi Party On! for Wii, a party game (hence the name), where up to four players fight in a popularity contest to become the president of Tamagotchi Planet. The competition is set up board game style, with players rolling dice by flicking the Wii Remote, then moving their Tamagotchis on the playing board. At the start of each game, players can choose how many "days," or rounds, they want the campaign to last, depending on how long they want to ...

Tenchu 4

Wii Preview | Tenchu 4

It seems unlikely that ninjas, swarthy grumps that they are, would celebrate anything as frivolous as a birthday. Can you really picture a group of masked revelers gathering around a cake or giving the bumps? ...

Thrillville: Off the Rails - EXCLUSIVE first look

Wii Preview | Thrillville: Off the Rails

Chances are pretty good that you didn't play the original Thrillville last year... but a whole bunch of kids sure did. So many went for the ride, in fact, that the amusement park simulator is getting a sequel this October. Thrillville: Off the Rails embraces its youth appeal by pushing everything to be bigger, wilder, sillier, friendlier and, of course, barfier. As theme park tycoon Mortimer's trusted niece or nephew, you still hold the dream job of building, designing and test riding every ...

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 hands-on

Wii Preview | Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07

Golf has always been a videogame staple, but Nintendo has taken it to a new level with the Wii. The console's motion-sensing controller is perfect for the "perfect game," as golf is often called - though that's something of a misnomer, as our own perfect game would involve cold meat sandwiches, guns, several nubile ladies, and a bathtub full of green jello. Anyhow, Tiger on Wii adds a whole new layer of interactivity. It has all the fun and addictiveness that epitomizes the Wii experience ...

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 - hands-on

Wii Preview | Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08

Confidence. On Sundays, on the 18th green, staring down a birdie putt for the win, Tiger Woods has it. Sergio Garcia? Not so much. After Garcia missed a putt for the win at the 2007 British Open, he lost the ensuing playoff to Irishman Padraig Harrington, and left any confidence he had in a deep bunker somewhere on the back nine at Carnoustie. As confidence plays such an important role in the game of golf, it's about time EA included it in its upcoming Tiger Woods PGA Tour game. And so it ...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hands-on

Wii Preview | TMNT

The Turtles are back, but Vanilla Ice isn't. That's probably for the best, to be honest. Anyway, to complement the new CGI-heavy Turtles film that's out this year, Ubisoft is resurrecting the pizza-eating dudes. Apparently the new film is a bit darker and edgier than previous Turtles fare (harking back to the original comics and role-playing game) and the game will reflect that. While we've yet to see just how "dark" and "edgy" this'll be, the way the game plays seems, so far, to be a little ...

TNA Impact vs SmackDown 2009

Wii Preview | TNA Impact!

Midway is bringing TNA Impact! to the Wii a bit earlier than its opponent, THQ’s WWE SmackDown! vs Raw 2009. Clearly both are excited, what with each throwing in the exclamation point into their title. We’ve broken down both brawlers into distinct categories, and determined which looks to be the winner. All of this may change before release, but here’s how we call it so far. ...

TNA Impact! - updated hands on

Wii Preview | TNA Impact!

You’d be forgiven for taking one look at TNA Impact and thinking, “It’s wrestling. How different could it be from any other wrestling game?” After all, it is wrestling, and it is very similar in many ways to other grappling games - specifically THQ’s long-running WWE franchises. However, after spending some time with the latest version of the game in our hands, we discovered quite a bit more difference ...

TNA Impact - hands-on

Wii Preview | TNA Impact!

Oct 16, 2007 Lets face it, the WWE is essentially the evil empire of wrestling. Mr. McMahon and his genetic superfreaks will always stand atop the heap of sports entertainment destroying all comers like they did WCW and ECW. With an increasingly stale product and THQs SmackDown! franchise delivering the same thing year in and out, wrasslin fans need a savior. Start bracing for Impact - literally - because Midway is developing TNA Impact for the PS2, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii, based off the ...
