Wii - FIFA Soccer 09 - FIFA Soccer 09: All-play

After a slightly disappointing effort at reinventing FIFA on Wii last year, EA have gone back to the tactics board and devised a brand new formation. ...

Wii - Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King - WiiWare - Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King is about building a city (around the prerequisite FF crystal). When you start playing all four walls of the city are in place, which is all the play area you're ever going to need. After all, it's the job of the king to stay home and build his kingdom - not go out and adventure. But to acquire the resources to fuel your building, you'll need to send your teenage adventurers out to fight in ...

Wii - Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon - Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon

We wouldn't blame you for writing off Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon at a glance - previous Chocobo games have suffered from overly-simplistic kid-friendly gameplay, which sounds like a recipe for disaster when mixed with the dungeon crawler genre. But with its variety of dungeon types and robust job system, Chocobo's Dungeon kept our interest for far longer than we expected. And with famed composer Nobuo Uematsu supervising the ...

Nov 13, 2007 Okay folks, time to wipe those silly smirks off your faces; this isn't some mindless minigame compilation or Wii-mote-waggling shooter. This is Fire Emblem, a super-serious, cerebrally-challenging strategy RPG series that's more than earned its place in the spotlight alongside Mario and Link. Those of you with Wii Remotes in hand, waiting to train a puppy or cook with Mama, might be scratching your heads in bewilderment, but true Nintendophiles know exactly what we're talking ...

Dec 4, 2007 Much like real-world fishing, Fishing Master for the Wii requires some time and plenty of patience before it pays off. In the beginning it is an over simplified, cartoony excuse to fling your WiiMote in the air and perform silly wrist actions with the Nunchuck. During that first hour you can pretty much figure out exactly how to bring in every catch and recognize when the fish will definitely get ...

We've lived with the Wii for more than a year now, so there's really no reason to belabor this opening point: Yes, the Wii plays host to an inordinate amount of minigame collections. Furthermore, most of them are insipid, although some few are actually worth your time, whether you're flying solo or waggling with companions. Furu Furu Park unfortunately does not fall into that worthwhile category, but it's hard to tell if it just misses the mark or if it truly falls into the category of soulless ...

G1 Jockeys release is a byproduct of you and seven million other Wii owners reaching out for new games with your fourteen million clasping game-hands. G1 Jockey comes recommended because of its neat career mode structure. You get to choose from a list of horses for each race, make decisions based on characteristics - which are presented as an intuitive list of light-up tabs and then see first-hand if you made the right choice as you straddle your decision while it pounds around a ...

Dec 11, 2007 Wii is quickly becoming a third-party crap magnet and Game Party is the latest game you shouldnt buy unless youre either really easy to please or one of the 10 people who rented Gigli just to see how bad it was. Game Party is no Gigli, but each of the 7 events collected here has its fair share of mechanical issues (except maybe Hoop Shot and Trivia) that nearly take the fun out of partying. Here, in all their half-baked glory, are the games: Darts, Table Hockey (air hockey), ...

Nov 20, 2007 At its core, Geometry Wars: Galaxies is pretty much the same as Retro Evolved on the 360, and that's a good thing. You still pilot the same old claw-shaped ship and must survive never-ending waves of hostile shapes that attack you from every angle for as long as possible. Dodging death by mere pixels, while blasting your way through swarms of enemies amidst the colorful chaos is still mesmerizing on the Wii, but does Galaxies have enough meat to warrant the price of a full game? ...

Wii - George of the Jungle and the Search for the Secret - George of the Jungle Much like George of the Jungle the movie, we suspect this would suddenly become massively entertaining if experienced under the influence of various intoxicants. As a platformer it’s not awful, but that’s probably the best that can be said about it. Still, despite its licensed nature and similarity to so many other genero-games, the Wii controls are actually decent enough. Often intuitive, they make pretty decent and unintrusive use ...
