Bionicle Heroes

Wii Review

Developer Traveller's Tales has had an almost unreasonable amount of success translating LEGO blocks into successful game franchises. Despite what some would say, the much beloved blocks even gave the ailing Star Wars franchise a much needed shot in the arm. So it's a sad thing indeed that they've failed to provide the same treatment for LEGO's original property Bionicles, on a system desperate for solid ...

Blast Works: Build, Fuse and Destroy

Wii Review

Wii - Blast Works: Build, Fuse and Destroy - Blast Works: Build, Fuse and Destroy

We'll admit we were skeptical of Blast Works: Build, Fuse and Destroy the first time we saw it - but probably not for the reasons you'd think. The problem wasn't that Blast Works is a side-scrolling, 2D shooter - we like the old school stuff. And it wasn't that the graphics are so primitive and blocky that it looks like everything is made of LEGO bricks. No, the big problem we had was that it's basically a port of a PC indie ...

Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII

Wii Review

War is hell, but Blazing Angels war is closer to annoying. You battle through war-torn versions of all your favorite postcards - Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower and Pearl Harbor - offing Nazis and pals in a mix of aerial dogfights and some of the worst special objectives ever conceived for a ...

Bleach: Shattered Blade

Wii Review

Oct 15, 2007 While it's easy to dismiss games based on popular animated series as lip service to fans, it would be a mistake to overlook Bleach: Shattered Blade. While it definitely appeals to fans of the show, there are many unique and entertaining aspects to this fighting game that make it worth a look for anyone that's into fighters or anyone that's looking for some good old fashioned mindless violence that's easy for any gamer to pick ...

Block Breaker Deluxe - WiiWare

Wii Review

Wii - Block Breaker Deluxe - WiiWare - Block Breaker Deluxe - WiiWare

Full marks to whoever came up with the title. “We’re ripping off Arkanoid, guys. What shall we call it?” There’s a bit more to Block Breakers Deluxe than just borrowing a concept from a decades-old game, though, and it’s a decent effort at revitalising one of the old favourites. At heart, this is about the age-old struggle of ball versus brick: you bounce your ball off various bricks and a level ends when the ...

Bomberman Land

Wii Review

Of the different Bomberman Land games, the Wii iteration is the most straightforward of the bunch. You don't have to concern yourself with tracking down items or solving puzzles to get through the story mode. Instead, you only have to worry about your hand falling off from madly shaking the Wii remote as you play through dozens of awful minigames.To be fair, a few of the minigames are good. Moving the Wii remote up and down to pump the crank on ...

Boogie

Wii Review

We've given EA there share of guff, sass - heck, we even went so far as to sling malarkey - at their persistent onslaught of subpar Wii ports. Outside of SSX Blur and a decent Madden control scheme, they've done little more than shower Nintendo with mediocre translations of readily available GameCube and PS2 games. But EA has since apologized for their lack of foresight, and we're happy to say that the song and dance found in Boogie is a damn fine step in the right direction. The visuals here ...

Boom Blox

Wii Review

The story behind this struck us as a tad unlikely - the game Steven Spielberg always wanted to play with his family? Wasn’t he a bit busy with some movie when it was being made? But however it came about, Boom Blox is far better than it has any right to be. While we’d normally file celebrity-endorsed casual games alongside the likes of Carol Vorderman’s Sudoku, this is in a different league. It’s brilliant! ...

Brunswick Pro Bowling

Wii Review

Oct 24, 2007 Living in fizzy drink-enameled dives, played in slippers held together by fungal infections and favouring whooping theatrics over polite applause, bowling is the social slob of the sporting world. This makes capturing it in game form oh-so-very difficult and it certainly isn't made any easier if, like Brunswick here, you try to do so with anything other than a goofy grin on your face. But whereas Wii Sports presented flighty six-pounder fun, this struggles under the heavy-handed ...

Bully: Scholarship Edition

Wii Review

It's been a year and a half since Bully (Canis Canem Edit in the UK) built up a storm of controversy and then sort of fizzled out of the public eye, but Rockstar Games has refused to let the game die quietly. Instead, Jimmy Hopkins and crew are getting a second chance at life in Bully: Scholarship Edition, a remastered and expanded version that adds updated visuals and a slate of new missions and classes to the already excellent story and ...
