Wii - Rock Band - Rock Band "No f&#*ing way am I wearing that." That was the initial reaction by many gamers when they saw the little plastic guitar that powered the original Guitar Hero. My, how times have changed. In Rock Band - the new multiplayer spin from the original GH creators, Harmonix - not only do you eagerly want to grab a fake plastic guitar, but you won't have to look far to find three other people just as willing to step up to grab a fake plastic bass, fake plastic drums and a fake plastic ...

Nov 26, 2007 Which came first? Ninjabread Man or this or Anubis II, as all of them are practically identical - one game with three skins. Elviz (yes) swings his guitar like the Ninjabread chap swings his sword, and shoots at things using the same pointer-controlled cursor. From level structure to menus, the only real difference is in the graphics. For a game with a musical theme, the music is very poor. Elviz jumps on drums and runs along keyboards, which could have made a nice sound but ...

From the deranged minds that brought you Grand Theft Auto, and the sycophantic gorehounds that will soon unleash Manhunt 2, comes... Ping Pong? Or Table Tennis rather, (Rockstar hates it when we call it the "Double P" word) and even though the game won't turn near as many heads as beating a prostitute to death or disemboweling a leather gimp, Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis still serves up a game of ball worthy of some attention. It's not entirely irrelevant to bring up the developer's ...

Wii - Sam & Max Season One Wii - Sam & Max Season One

Considering that the last time Sam and Max appeared in a full game computers were steam-powered and/or made from mammoth pelt, it’s a little funny to see them adventuring away so happily on the thoroughly modern Wii. Not that it isn’t an obvious match: a point and click adventure on a console made to point and click. ...

Wii - Samba De Amigo Wii - Samba De Amigo Wii

Man alive, does Samba De Amigo seem fun. From the gorgeous full-motion video opener to the Borat sound-a-like that yelps over the menus, there are few experiences as welcoming on Wii. ...

Jan 15, 2008 Samurai Warriors Katana is finally here, and after several so-so earlier titles, it pretty much has the ‘remote as sword field to itself. In Campaign mode this is basically Time Crisis with a sword. This is a very good thing. Relentlessly on-rails fighting can get boring, but Katana mixes up the missions in imaginative ways - youll have to creep through forests filled with archers, spotting them before they can shoot you in the back, hide behind fences and shoot onrushing ...

Last year, Scarface: The World Is Yours caught just about everyone by surprise. It turned out to be a damn good game, sold like crazy (having moved over two million PS2 and Xbox copies to date), and set a world record for the most profanity and drug trafficking in video game history. Continuing with the didnt-see-that-coming approach, Vivendi has now released the hyperviolent and decidedly non-family-friendly game on the happiest console on the planet – Nintendos ...

Start talking about mecha and most people will probably picture a heaving Islamic mass pilgrimage, as opposed to hulking great mechanical exoskeletons doing battle in a futuristic landscape. You see, to the uninitiated there are few things less welcoming than Gundam - a writhing mass of franchises and back-story that refuses to stop for breath and explain itself. All of which makes Scad Hammer s accessibility such a pleasant ...

Wii - Sega Bass Fishing [2008] - Sega Bass Fishing If any game can convert a non-fisherman into someone who actually uses words like Jointed Shad Rap, Hula Popper and Buzzbait, it's the action-packed arcadery of the Sega Bass Fishing series. It doesn't make you hunt down the fish, and when you find them, they're ravenous. What does that leave? Action, mostly.While most fishing games make you spend huge amounts of time seeking out the fish, Sega Bass Fishing spreads them three layers thick just ...

Wii - Sega Superstars Tennis - Sega Superstars Tennis The best part of this game is Superstars mode, which is a selection of minigames, challenges and tournaments based around old-school Sega hits such as Space Channel 5, Golden Axe, Virtua Cop, Monkey Ball, Out Run, After Burner and Alex Kidd. You’ll either play on courts designed to look like environments from the games or you’ll unlock one of the characters in a head-to-head contest. Minigames include knocking down waves of zombies ...
