Crash of the Titans

Wii Review

Even though Crash Bandicoot is pretty irrelevant now, his new game looks good - spinning above jungle vistas has a Sonic the Hedgehog level of greenery loveliness, and the games calibration screen assures you the games “designed to use the full range of colours,” which is worth pointing out, we think. And once youve accepted youre on one, single, long, 10-hour fixed path through Crashs world, theres something rather LEGO Star Wars-ish about the fun-size levels, the punch-kicky ...

Crayon Shin-Chan [import]

Wii Review

A young boy with a penchant for older women who regularly exposes his buttocks and genitals and refuses to let anyone to see him laughing. This is the Japanese quasi-equivalent of South Park, the ever-so-disturbing Crayon Shin-Chan. The oddest thing of all, though, is that this risqué show was translated into such a tame dud of a minigame collection. Set around a series of locations in the eponymous hero's home town, you have to complete incredibly basic minigames as part of a TV quiz ...

Cruis'n

Wii Review

Despite dubious origins, Cruis'n is more or less the same loose racer that rocked arcades and the Nintendo 64 in the mid-90s. Except that it's now 2007, and nobody apparently bothered to tell the folks at Midway and Just Games Interactive. To say Cruis'n looks like a higher-resolution N64 game at times is neither hyperbole nor as ironically entertaining as you might expect - and that says nothing for the wonky controls, inconsistent gameplay, and generally horrifying presentation. As expected, ...

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Hard Evidence

Wii Review

Wii - CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Hard Evidence - CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Hard Evidence

Okay Ubisoft dudes, we get it. The television ratings for CSI are still relatively high and some genius at your Ubi towers thought gamers would like to put on the forensic gloves as esteemed/paunchy CSI Head Investigator Gil Grissom one more time, even though the show is honestly about as passé as the slew of milquetoast CSI games you’ve released since your sorta decent CSI: Crime Scene Investigation in 2003. ...
