The Ghost Recon moniker is a noble pedigree for a game to have, but Tom Clancy has been known to attach his name to complete garbage from time to time. So when we first approached Ghost Recon for the Wii, we were understandably skeptical. On one hand, we have the opportunity to play as Ghosts from the Tom Clancy world, which are some of the most over-the-top-super-action-hero types this side of Governor Schwarzenegger. On the other hand, there’s the Wii. The Wii has been known to render otherwise great franchises into pure mediocrity...

Now Trauma Team takes the series along a much broader path, splitting up the cutting and curing into different specialties, and infusing adventure elements into the experience with surgical precision -- all without losing what made the original entries so worthwhile and unique...
We can’t be alone in thinking that playing quiz games on your own is more pointless than Paris Hilton. Whether it’s a digital version of Trivial Pursuit or a made-for-consoles title such as PS2’s Buzz!, there’s zero satisfaction or fun to be had pitting your wits against a bunch of AI contestants.
