Medal of Honor: Vanguard

Wii Review

Medal of Honor Vanguard drops in on the Wii and brings with it the arsenal of intensity that weve grown to love, (again and again). From the moment that you first land as Corporal Keegan on a beach in Sicily in Operation Husky, until the end of Operation Varsity, Vanguards assault rifle may jam once or twice, but its clip never runs dry. In Vanguard you take up your Garand again, this time as a member of the 82nd Airborne Division, one of Americas first airborne units. EA is one of the ...

Cooking Mama: Cook Off

Wii Review

We cant help thinking that Cooking Mama was best suited to the pocket-sized DS, not the full-bodied Wii. The idea is that the Wiis functionality is perfect for the game, letting you use the remote to closely simulate chopping real peppers, cracking real eggs and stirring real soup. You know, like every real night of your life, right? Wrong. At least on DS you had the touch screen to create some sensation of resistance while you carried out your cooking tasks; on the Wii theres not even the ...

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 ...

The Godfather: Blackhand Edition

Wii Review

The Wii finally has its first free-roaming, Grand Theft Auto-style car-crime game, and it's... The Godfather. Again. It's been a full year since the multiplatform mob drama first arrived in game form, and the appearance of The Godfather: Blackhand Edition on Wii means it's officially hit every single platform except the DS and mobile phones (although we're willing to bet The Godfather: Touch Madness and The Godfather: Horrible Mobile Edition are already in the works, somehow). Still, given ...

Kororinpa: Marble Mania

Wii Review

Somewhere in the world, there's an animal psychologist using Kororinpa: Marble Mania to determine scientifically, once and for all, if capuchin monkeys are smarter than Paris and Nicky Hilton (and after that, we're guessing, how much). The concept is dead simple - you have a marble, which you need to guide on a jewel-grabbing roll through a floating, maze-like track by tilting the Wii remote - so both groups can instantly grasp the concept. Moreover, because the controls are so in-tune, so ...

Wing Island

Wii Review

Carrying out acts of daring missions through the bright sunny skies is an attractively heroic concept, played out to a glorious fanfare reminiscent of Studio Ghiblis superb flying pig movie Porco Rosso. Alas, in reality it has all the flying finesse of holding a plastic spoon full of baby food and faking plane noises to pilot it into a babys mouth. The Wii remote handles like a miniplane in your hand; you dip the it, the plane dips instantaneously; you twist it, the plane twists ...

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07

Wii Review

Ever since Nintendo broke the news of their weird white rectangle, we've been treated to many a photo of delighted Asians brandishing their remotes like golf clubs. Right out of the gate the Wii proved it could hit for power on the links with Wii Sports golf and Super Swing Golf. But we all knew there was a Tiger in the grass waiting rip the throats out of its cutesy predecessors and establish dominance amongst the "perfect" ...

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 ...

Sonic and the Secret Rings

Wii Review

For a while we thought Sonic was a goner, a blue hedgehog-shaped smear on the tarmac of gaming history. With Sonic Teams every attempted step forward, his scores plummeted down. Multiple characters exploring 3D environments? Big the Cat? Sonic with guns? With Secret Rings, the team has finally realized that the only way forwards is backwards. At breakneck speeds. Filter him down into his purest form - the original Sonic on Genesis - and youll find little more than the urge to move forwards. ...
