Balloon Pop

Wii Review

On most consoles, a simple, casual puzzler like Balloon Pop might not seem like a good deal for $20. But, when compared to the usual Wii dreck that goes for a pair of Hamiltons, this unassuming little game feels like a revolution of sorts. It isn't literally revolutionary in any discernable way, but it doesn't suck horribly, and in today's budget Wii lineup that's rare enough to vault it high above the pack. As "match three colored things" ...

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 ...

Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed

Wii Review

Wii - Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed - Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed

Crypto is back, and this time it’s in the disco-dancing, bell bottomy 70’s. The third installment in the series comes out with little that is new but does it with enough verve to make the game enjoyable, and sometimes, laugh out loud funny. There is a plot - above and beyond destroying all humans to get our DNA - about stopping humans from figuring out what’s really in Big Willy’s hotdogs (Big Willy, by the way, is a ...

Myth Makers: Orbs of Doom

Wii Review

Wii - Myth Makers: Orbs of Doom - Myth Makers: Orbs of Doom

We would not be surprised if Myth Makers: Orbs of Doom came about in a board meeting brainstorming session, where someone said, “Okay, how can we trick children into shelling out twenty bucks, and then proceed to make them cry and throw their remote into the wall?” Data Design Interactive specializes in gaming trash designed to sneak money from unsuspecting wallets with the least effort invested in art, sound, programming, design, ...

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3

Wii Review

Wii - Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 - Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3

Talk about truth in advertising - check out the slogan adorning the print campaign for Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3: "Introducing, among other things, some people you haven't had a chance to punch in the face yet." That's the long and short of it in the third iteration of the Budokai Tenkaichi fighting franchise. As is often the case with yearly, numbered iterations in any franchise, Budokai Tenkaichi 3 doesn't deviate ...

Agatha Christie - And Then There Were None

Wii Review

Wii - Agatha Christie - And Then There Were None - Agatha Christie - And Then There Were None

What’s your view on point-and-click games? Old-fashioned and tedious, or deliciously retro? Because this game is only going to be suitable for those who thrive on the kind of gameplay that has you filling a bucket with water drawn from the hand pump outside the kitchen, offering it to a goat so he’ll move to one side and grant you access to a remote part of the island, where you’ll then find a harness you must give to the ...

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. ...

The Spiderwick Chronicles

Wii Review

Wii - The Spiderwick Chronicles - The Spiderwick Chronicles

Maybe you love The Spiderwick Chronicles book series or know someone who does. Or, perhaps you saw the recent movie and wanted to stomp the goblins yourself. Regardless of the reasons you have for taking an interest in the video game based on the movie, we're here to give you a big old Thimbletack style warning: The Spiderwick Chronicles game is the kind of dull, tedious 3D adventure that gives movie cash-ins a bad name. There's nothing wrong ...

Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors

Wii Review

Wii - Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors - Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors

Break out the Icy/Hot, kids - you'll never make it through Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors without loose joints. The game dispenses with the turn-based RPG combat and sprawling world map of other Dragon Quest games in favor of an on-rails, first person hack and slash adventure perfectly tailored to the Wii. A few things are thrown in for fans of the series - familiar music, typical character stereotypes, ...

Monster Trux: Offroad

Wii Review

Wii - Monster Trux: Offroad - Monster Trux: Offroad

Regardless of our own personal feelings about the proper use of monster trucks, Bold Games has conjured up Monster Trux: Offroad for Wii - a straightforward racer that contains about as much quality content as its moniker has class and respectability - that is, not much at all. Its rough-and-tumble racing experience might at first be likened to Nintendo's own Excite Truck, but with few opportunities for air, it's mostly just a low-key ...
