Line Rider - first look

Wii Preview | Line Rider 2: Unbound

Chances are that if you’ve ever had access to a computer in the last year or have an internet-savvy friend, then you’ve glimpsed a peek at Line Rider - the flash-based net phenomenon that enables you to design ridiculous tracks for a miniscule sledder to toboggan down. We got a peek at the new incarnation of Rider for the PC, Wii and DS and were impressed to find that you won’t be shelling out for a simple rehash, but rather a ...

We Ski - hands-on

Wii Preview | We Ski

We Ski is the first skiing game to use the Balance Board to steer, and it puts the focus on fun and not exercise. It simulates an entire ski resort, with lifts, other skiers and 14 unique runs, which are all open from the moment you first put in the game. Through exploration you'll find characters around the mountain who offer 70 freestyle events. They're a variety of challenges, such as races, photo shoots or search and rescue missions. That ...

World of Goo

Wii Preview | 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 ...

Deca Sports - hands-on

Wii Preview | Deca Sports

Remember that tech demo that shipped with the Wii? Had a few playable sports games, convinced your parents they weren’t complete squares and was fun for about a week? We don’t either, but Hudson is set to one-up Nintendo’s meek sample with Deca Sports, a collection of 10 games that are anything but mini. We had a chance to play five of Deca’s offerings: Badminton, Curling, Kart Racing, Soccer, and Figure Skating. We came ...

Emergency Mayhem

Wii Preview | Emergency Mayhem

Many years ago we saw a TV show that included a piece about someone who had tried to jump over a fence, but had slipped and got a spike impaled through the bottom of their mouth. It’s haunted our dreams ever since, so we’re inclined to run a mile from any game that features the emergency services (while taking great care not to trip over anything, of course).Fortunately, the incidents you’ll be called to in Emergency Mayhem ...

Wild Earth: African Safari

Wii Preview | Wild Earth: African Safari

When the words ‘safari’ and ‘videogame’ appear in the same sentence, we can’t help but think of the Cabela hunting ‘simulators’, as they refer to them. With targets that include everything from polar bears to leopards, and gameplay ranging from crap to sewage flotsam, it’s little wonder that we’d be skeptical. In direct contrast to Cabela’s lust for slaughtering our furry friends, Wild ...

LEGO Indiana Jones - first look

Wii Preview | LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

If you thought last week’s trailer for the fourth Indiana Jones film felt a little flat with its combo of CG locales and one very old Harrison Ford, then you’d be happy to hear that you can trust LEGO Indiana Jones as a better outlet for your nostalgia. Developed by Traveller’s Tales - the team behind LEGO Star Wars - Indy will traverse locales from each of the first three films, while embracing youngsters who aren’t ...

LEGO Batman - updated impressions

Wii Preview | LEGO Batman: The Videogame

We've been seeing a lot of LEGO Batman recently, mostly in the form of new screens, but it wasn't until this week's Game Developer's Conference that we got to see the plasticized caped crusader in action. And we saw a lot, from the suits and gadgets that Batman and Robin will use to fight crime, to the missions where you'll take control of some of their arch-nemeses and go toe-to-toe against Gotham's finest. And although we can't yet say how it ...

Worms: A Space Oddity

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 ...
