What the hell happened? You'd figure at this point Namco could hurl handfuls of its classic games like BBs at flypaper and ship them in whatever combinations they please to some degree of success. As long as they're cheap, what man-child reared in the 80's wouldn't jump at the chance to play Rally-X and Pac-Man at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, Namco Museum Remix has squandered more than twenty years of nostalgia, while simultaneously spawning some of the worst motion control based ...

Beyond the quick buck that's to be made from its obsessive fans, there's really no reason for Naruto to exist on Wii at all. Its "new" control scheme is better served by the old-fashioned Classic controller than by remote and nunchuk, which achieve little beyond making you look like an idiot while ...

Oct 23, 2007 Remember last year when the GameCube was dying and the only games coming around were Cars, Teen Titans and Nicktoons slop? There were two shiny gems in that sea of lumpy coal, and they both happened to be Clash of Ninja games released just six months apart. Their button-mashy (yet surprisingly deep) fighting styles made both games popular even among non-Naruto fans. Now we're looking at the third to hit US shores in just over a year and it's basically the same as the other ...

Wii - Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 - Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2

It’s tough to slag on a game as robust as Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2. It’s got more than 30 fighters ripped straight from the beloved anime/manga, it supports a four-player battle royale mode that’s a blast, and the single-player story mode has really nice variety. ...

Wii - Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 - Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3

Naruto. Its fans overrate it, and its haters underrate it. It’s an unfortunate situation, because by name alone many people will shun Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 as just another licensed title for Wii. Ignore your gut reaction - Tomy Corporation has developed a deep, enjoyable fighting game here. ...

Oct 4, 2007 Plain and simple, the initial prospect of playing a hoops sim on the Wii scared the daylights out of us. Having flailed and swayed at more than our share of Wii Sports, we naturally assumed that a basketball version of the same thing meant a long winter rehabbing our torn ACL or shredded labrum. However, it turns out that EA didn't build their first b-ball title for Nintendo's new-generation console with anything of the sort in mind. Sure, you'll flick a wrist here and there to ...

Wii - NBA Live 09 - NBA Live 09 All-Play

When we see one of these All-Play sports games, we don’t know whether to applaud EA’s attempt to embrace the Wii’s family-friendly image or groan at the thought of having to play something that would barely tax the motor skills of a corpse. This is point ’n’ click basketball, where you aim the cursor at a player and press a button to pass to him. ...

Like a viscera-loving fly, developer Spike has wormed its way into the rotting body cavities of countless survival horrors, laid its eggs and given birth to Necro-Nesia. Its a real scavenger of a game, gnawing on the meat of the finest pedigree - namely Resident Evil 2 and Silent Hill 3. But like the common fly, its unable to digest it all without puking up on it first and churning it into a grotesque gaming mess. Playing as a floppy-haired girly-faced guy - whose soft, boy-band looks look ...

You can be forgiven for cynically thinking "Another year, another Need for Speed." Frankly, that's what we thought when the latest title in the series was announced. After all, the damn good Most Wanted just came out a year ago, so what could Carbon possibly offer so soon afterwards that would get our motors runnin'? It turns out that the answer comes in two parts. First off is the Wingman - not the buddy who'll sit with your hot date's ugly girlfriend at the bar - but a crazy fool who for ...

Wii - Need for Speed: Nitro - Need for Speed: Nitro

Although it’s relatively low key on Wii, Need for Speed: Nitro smacks of something born in focus groups and marketing meetings. This year you’re going to be into ‘taking ownership’ of ‘your media’ so here’s a racing game that’s all about you. ...
