Wii - Overlord Dark Legend - Overlord: Dark Legend

On the internationally recognized scale o’ evil Overlord Dark Legend is more Walt Disney than Pol Pot. The central premise might suggest it’s a game for megalomaniacs in waiting but the contrived plot actually has you thwarting baddies rather than stealing children’s lollipops. That said, there’s still much to recommend this Wii exclusive prequel. ...

Wii - The Conduit - The Conduit

If you’re reading this than we’ll assume you’re a seasoned gamer who knows his or her shit. So, you’d be completely within your right to say that most third party Wii developers have all but abandoned fulfilling the needs of traditional gamers, and left it the exclusive dumping grounds of dog-and-pony fashion shows, talking candy, and Majesco. ...

Wii - The Munchables  - The Munchables

It looks like a seizure and rhymes with a lunchtime snack, but look past that and The Munchables is… well, it’s still completely crazy underneath. When pirate aliens invade the planet of Star Ving – and let’s take a moment to absorb that truly awful pun – a couple of big toothy balls have to bounce around chomping everything under the sun. ...

Wii - Anno: Create A New World - Dawn of Discovery

Anno (Dawn of Discovery) on Wii is exactly how you’d imagine it to be and – more importantly – exactly how you want it to be. Its concept might be fairly dry but the game itself has been ‘Wii-fied’ to make it as accessible as a strategy game could hope to be.

Buildings and other structures can be plonked down in an almost comically easy fashion while road building is a snap. ...

Wii - Ghostbusters The Video Game - Ghostbusters: The Video Game

The dreams of thousands, nay, millions of twentysomethings came true recently. Despite delays, a publisher change and a few holdout actors, the Ghostbusters are back, two decades after their last film. And while the PS3 and 360 get the more lifelike and filmic interpretations of the foursome, Wii owners get a version that, while trimmed, at least tried a little harder than most Wii games to be something special. ...

Wii - Let's Tap - Let's Tap

It’s a good sign when a game controlled with finger taps has music we’d happily tap our fingers to. Yes, Let’s Tap’s big ‘thing’ is the fact that it’s a game played with a single finger. On a technical level it works. ...

Wii - MySims Racing - MySims Racing

Ever since Nintendo defined the karts and powerups battle racing format on the SNES, the trend has been for subsequent sequels and imitators to become bigger, slower and easier. ...

Wii - Sports Island 2 - Deca Sports 2

Following the success of Wii Sports, several sporty compilations have jogged onto Wii. And while Wii Sports Resort warms up in the changing room, Sports Island (AKA Deca Sports in the US) is first out of the blocks with a sequel. 

Last year’s events have been replaced by ten new disciplines ranging from motorbike racing to synchronized swimming. ...

Wii - Swords & Soldiers - Swords & Soldiers

Who’d have guessed that a cartoonish, side-scrolling real-time strategy game about meat-craving Vikings, chili pepper-obsessed Aztecs, and Imperial Chinese warriors with a toy fetish would be our favorite WiiWare game this year? ...

Wii - Minon: Everyday Hero - Minon: Everyday Hero

There’s nothing quite like the crushing disappointment you feel when a game that should have been great – based on snippets of pre-release information and a few screenshots – turns out to be duff. Major Minor is one such game, and Go! Go! Minon, now rebranded for Western audiences as Minon: Everyday Hero (or Domino Rally in the US), is another. ...
