Wii Preview | World of Goo
Wii - World of Goo - World of Goo So there are these giggling little globs of goo that you can drag about with a gesture. If you place one near some others, it’ll form a wobbly structure by connecting itself to them with squishy struts. And about half an hour into playing World of Goo, it hits us: this is Lemmings in reverse. You’re trying to build towards this pipe, you see. Once your structure is high enough to reach the pipe, any goos you haven’t used yet ...

Wii Preview | Worms: A Space Oddity
Soon, a similar scene will be played out in Wii-enabled parties across the length and breadth of the land. That familiar "your turn!" chime rings out from a remote somewhere near the punch bowl, and out oozes Cuthbert Pythagoras-on-the-Horse (the real name of your local sap may vary). You might remember this odious little swot as the guy who ruined your Christmas party's Wii Sports tournament. This he did by eschewing all that jumping and ...

Wii Preview | Worms: A Space Oddity
Jan 15, 2008 Worms: A Space Oddity picks up where Worms: Open Warfare 2 left off: in space. The game follows your team of three pink little squiggles at a time through six space-themed levels. The levels contain six to ten missions each and chronicle the worms journey back to Earth. Why are they trying to get back to Earth? Well, you might as well be asking, why they were in space in the first place. All of the weapons have been reskinned, renamed and, umm… recontrolered to reflect the ...

Wii Preview | WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2008
Ever since we first tried the Wii's motion-sensitive controls, there's been a nagging question at the back of our minds: "What could a wrestling game do with this?" As it turns out, the reality isn't nearly as fantastic as our dreams of throwing angry man-mountains around in real time, with our wrestler's hands mapped to our own Wii Remote-and-Nunchuk movements. But it's still a promising start. Our first taste of WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2008 on the Wii was a simple demo featuring John Cena and ...

Wii Preview | WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2008
The lights dim. The audience quietens to an excited hush. In stomps the first combatant, 90 percent macho posturing and 10 percent dewy perspiration. He looks to the crowd and waves the patented John Cena taunt - a hand fluttering in front of his face signifying that “you cant see me.” Only this isnt John Cena, the 280lb current holder of the WWE Championship. Its a 100lb game developer from Japan. Welcome to WWE on Wii. For many gamers the announcement of the SmackDown! franchises ...

Wii Preview | WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2008
Gradually, the WWE games review scores have, like a greasy tortoise, been slipping slowly downhill - due mainly to the fact that theyve started to feel the same, year in, year out. We want this decline to be arrested and SmackDown! 2008, the series PS3 debut - following the cancellation of last years planned next-gen wrestler - might do just that. Weve already reported on this years new features, although well clarify some of them in greater ...

Wii Preview | WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2008
Though they probably won't feature Donald Trump shaving the head of WWE chairman Mr. McMahon like this year's WrestleMania, both the wrestling and gaming worlds are eagerly anticipating what the next round of WWE-licensed titles will hold. In much the way Vince McMahon will be more aerodynamic without his gray coiffure, the SmackDown vs. Raw series is streamlining to be even more intuitive to control while also offering more gameplay depth. As the former rogue promotion of Extreme ...

Wii Preview | WWII Aces
Dec 17, 2007 First up, we have Homie Rollerz for the DS. This might look like Mario Kart goes to the ghetto, but for fans of Dave Gonzaless original creations, this is an awesome opportunity to play as one of your all-time favorite Homies. Gonzales has even helped out with the development, providing authentic dialogue and an all-new Homie - Wizard - out to grant the wish of the low-rider racer brave enough to win The Wizard Circuit. Look for this colorful little game sometime in February ...
