Wall-E - hands-on

Wii Preview | Wall-E

With curious binocular-like eyes and a metallically high-pitched voice, Wall-E stars as an adorable trash-compacter in this summer’s Pixar film of the same name. Plot details are scarce, but from what we can discern, Wall-E is the last surviving trash cleaner on a long-since abandoned Earth. One day, a recon spaceship arrives with the sleek iPod-looking Eve, Wall-E’s romantic interest. When she has to leave, Wall-E hops on board ...

Wario Land: Shake It!

Wii Preview | Wario Land: Shake It!

Is this upcoming Wario release Nintendo’s best-kept secret or worst-promoted game? We really can’t decide. Wisely casting aside last year’s disastrous Wario the Thief, Nintendo are returning to the Wario Land franchise with all that confusing disguise-swapping malarkey substituted for remote-shaking fatty rage. ...

WarioWare: Smooth Moves hands-on

Wii Preview | WarioWare: Smooth Moves

Friday 12 May 2006 Consisting of over 200 bite-sized minigames, there shouldn't be any surprise that it's WarioWare: Smooth Moves that really pushes the Wii remote's flexibility to the limit and we managed to get hands on with the mayhem. Nintendo's oddball puzzle game has always managed to test the reflexes and the mind in numerous unique ways, but now it has the Wii remote to complicate matters further. In fact, WarioWare uses 15 different ways of holding the remote and so far we've managed ...

E3 06: Wario Ware: Smooth Moves

Wii Preview | WarioWare: Smooth Moves

Ever since it first appeared on the GBA, the eclectic Wario Ware series has always made little sense. They're all collections of super-quick minigames that literally take seconds - so fast, in fact, they're called micro minigames. But now you've got the power of the Wii remote to contend with, and the 200 micro games have just become even more fabulously impossible. The demo of Wario Ware: Smooth Moves strung together a series of events, each more maniacal than the last. What instantly sets ...

We play We Love Golf

Wii Preview | We Love Golf!

We Love Golf, the upcoming game from Camelot and Capcom, attempts to balance an easy-to-pick-up-and-play game with a technical sports game that rewards players who get out on the course and practice more than the other guys. The game takes a combination of traditional three-button-press golf-swing mechanics and the Wii motion controls, which means you'll need to play with precise timing and a smooth swing if you're planning to hit those greens. ...

For all you gaming addicts looking for a fix, check out these treats: Opoona - Wii A very unusual little game for the Wii that combines community and relationship-building elements with a traditional RPG - a bit like, say, Animal Crossing but with a proper adventure to work through.

The Golden Compass

Wii Preview | Wii

With all the success of the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter films spilling over onto our consoles its hardly a surprise that were about to be up to our comically large sleeves in anything remotely wizardly. But you wont hear fantasy fans complaining, as the much beloved, million-selling His Dark Materials series kicks off this winter with the release of The Golden Compass in theaters and every console known to man or beast. An important distinction to make; since animals play a part thats ...
