SSX Blur

Wii Review

SSX Blur has the best snow ever. Its a wintry playground with a new and better distraction around every corner, tucked in tunnels through rumbling glaciers and in the cotton-draped branches of the trees. A world that looks this soft and inviting just begs to be explored. And the way you make your mark on this gleaming white paradise is so satisfyingly ingenious, reality – or, at least, lesser snowboarding games – is always going to come a distant ...

Star Soldier R - WiiWare

Wii Review

Wii - Star Soldier R - WiiWare - Star Soldier R - WiiWare

The TurboGrafix-16, which once roamed prehistoric game stores, was the size of six double-decker buses but had a CPU the size of a pea. It could also eat its own weight in vertical-scrolling shoot-’em-ups, many of which are now available on Wii Virtual Console. Indeed, four titles from the Star Soldier lineage are already up on the Wii Shop for 600 points - the best of which (Super Star Soldier and Blazing Lazers) are a must for any ...

Star Trek: Conquest

Wii Review

Dec 6, 2007 Poor Star Trek. Despite having one of the most rabid fan followings in all of science fiction, it hasn't spawned a solid TV series, movie or video game in years. Unfortunately, that includes Star Trek: Conquest, a shallow blend of action and strategy that feels more like an enthusiastic homebrew project than an officially licensed game. As one of six playable races, you construct fleets and conquer planets, just like in the board game Risk, fighting their defenders in real-time or ...

Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People: Homestar Ruiner - WiiWare

Wii Review

Wii - Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People: Homestar Ruiner - WiiWare - Strong Bad’s Cool game for Attractive People Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner

Meet Strong Bad. He’s cooler than you, is way awesome, gets all the hot babes, and really hates Homestar Runner. If that makes about as much sense to you as an episode of Hannah Montana, then steer your browser to Homestarrunner.com and catch up on the hip, animated world of this web phenomenon. ...

Summer Athletics

Wii Review

Wii - Summer Athletics - Summer Athletics

Motion controls may have breathed new life into the archaic track and field genre, but next to Sega’s Mario & Sonic effort, Summer Athletics is as likeable as a pint of sour milk. Half of the problem lies in the controls, not that they’re bad per se. ...

Super Mario Galaxy

Wii Review

Nov 8, 2007 There's no point trying to pigeonhole Mario - a simple hold on Z and a tap of A, and he'll backflip straight out - but most people tend to refer to his 3D outings as 'playgrounds'. True, levels are littered with holes to leap, slides to pelt down and obstacles to ooh, ahh, waa-hoo over - but funny no one mentions wasted space. Because whenever there's a space for running, for leaping, or just an empty space, in comes Miyamoto with his design chisel. Chipping away everything around ...

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz

Wii Review

Six years ago, the GameCube launched with the very first Super Monkey Ball. Since then, we've seen the glass-encased primates weave their way through countless floating mazes, only to show up in yet another game with similar puzzles to solve. Now there's Banana Blitz. With so many monkey options out there (spanning nearly every platform you can think of), what makes this one worth checking out? Actual new content. Up until now - with the heartbreakingly noteworthy exception of the failed ...

Super Paper Mario

Wii Review

How is it that the GameCube and Wii both launched without a Mario game? Somehow it happened, and here we are, months after Wii took the world by surprise and we're just now seeing the iconic mascot appear on the system. To make things even weirder, it's not a 3D platformer or sports game debut, either. Nope, it's a new entry in the RPG-lite Paper Mario series, the last of which landed in 2004. But in order to make the game more digestible to the non-RPG fan, Super Paper Mario plays more like a ...

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Wii Review

Wii - Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Super Smash Bros. Brawl

There's practically no reason to offer a review of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It's going to sell millions upon millions of copies regardless of what anyone says. We all know it's phenomenally fun and destined to become Wii's biggest game of all time, so what else should a review even bother to say? Spend 500 words arguing about wave dashing or meteor smashes? Nah, we'll just say "buy this immediately" and let you get back to smashing. ...

Super Swing Golf

Wii Review

The golf in Wii Sports is surprisingly fun, but it's hardly deep or realistic. Along with every other sport represented in the game, it plays more like an appetizer - a fun little sample of what can and should be expected from Wii sports titles in the future. The more you play it, the more you'll wish for a bigger and fuller golf simulator. Super Swing Golf is the answer to that wish. Though certainly not perfect, it manages to fulfill the potential shown in Wii Sports Golf, delivering a ...
