Boogie - Hands-on

Wii Preview | Boogie

Weve got to be honest: in the past, we werent too sure about Boogie. Its not that we dont like dancing games; we GR folk harbor no ill will toward exercise and love ourselves some Dance, Dance Revolution. The thing is, we were skeptical about the appeal of a dancing game in which the player wasnt actually... you know... dancing. Or even pretend ...

Boom Blox

Wii Preview | Boom Blox

Roughly translated, the name Spielberg means ‘play mountain’. This is why, allegedly, he opens the Indiana Jones films with a mountain shot, and why we have faith in his co-developed Boom Blox. How could someone with ‘play’ in their name not ‘get’ the Wii? Unveiled at E3, this was a mess - a puzzle-Jenga light on purpose and heavy on wonky physics, but that has all changed in this new and improved Boom Blox. ...

Bully: Scholarship Edition - hands-on

Wii Preview | Bully: Scholarship Edition

Bully was released near the tail end of the PS2's major releases, so maybe you didn't have a chance to play the game back in 2006 - like, if you sent your PS2 off to Antarctica on a ceremonial burning raft on PS3 launch day. Whether you played or not, the game was great, and messing around with the 360 and Wii versions, Bully: Scholarship Edition, which are due out March 4, reaffirmed that the game is on track to be as good as the original ...

Bully: Scholarship Edition - first look

Wii Preview | Bully: Scholarship Edition

Jan 16, 2008 For a while there, Bully was 2006's most controversial game - but once people found out it was a relatively tame, bloodless schoolyard romp instead of a teen murder simulator, interest seemed to fizzle. Which is a shame, really, because Bully's compelling story and free-roaming, prank-and-beatdown-focused action made it one of the best games released that year. If you missed it the first time, you'll get a second chance at the game this March, when Bully: Scholarship Edition hits ...

Bust-A-Move Bash

Wii Preview | Bust-A-Move Bash!

It seems puzzle games are being given a new lease of life by the Wiis wonder-wand. With blobby tilt-fest Mercury Meltdown Revolution leaping from the PSP to the Wii with all the unbridled excitement of a hyperactive puppy, Bust-A-Move follows suit, enlivened by motion-sensitive ...

Call of Duty 3

Wii Preview | Call of Duty 3

Coming out alongside Wii-exclusive shooters like Red Steel and Far Cry Vengeance, it might seem that the multiplatform port of Call of Duty 3 has a fight on its hands. But when we got both hands on a level from the game recently, we discovered that it's got plenty of fight in it. At first we found it hard not to be disappointed that every possible control hasn't been made into a Wii-mote gesture and there aren't sections where you have to clip it to your belt and actually crawl on all fours, ...

Call of Duty 3 - updated hands-on

Wii Preview | Call of Duty 3

The Call of Duty franchise has already defined what a next-gen first-person shooter should be, winning FPS battles since the day the Xbox 360 launched. Activision and Treyarch won't be happy until they win the whole darn war, and showed us their firepower in a next-gen hands-on gameplay session at Activision headquarters in Santa Monica, CA. It's easy to see this series is hitting its stride. The people behind Call of Duty know that we want intense, memorable scenarios filled with carnage. We ...

Back to the trenches

Wii Preview | Call of Duty 3

It was a cold day in France. The rain was beating down something harsh, the enemies had an advantageous position, and we had one mission: get to the top of the hill. The problem was, for the most part, we were in a wide open valley with very little cover, and the enemies already occupied the few higher altitude positions there ...

Call of Duty 3

Wii Preview | Call of Duty 3

It's the first-person shooter that has constantly set the standards in the World War II action market so it was with much excitement that we got to see the latest on Call of Duty 3. With new additions to the Call of Duty series, publisher Activision's main aim has been to create the most intense and authentic WWII experience possible, which is why the transition to the next generation of consoles is hugely important. The extra processing power means more of everything - more enemy troops, more ...
