23 Nov 2009 New Super Mario Bros. Wii - Wii

Buy New Super Mario Bros. Wii on Wii

This is a guest review by rockinghorsedreams.

When Nintendo announced they were making a sequel to New Super Mario Bros. I was ecstatic. When they said it would be on the Wii I was heartbroken. Let the Wii have the 3D Mario games, but don’t take the 2D platformers from the DS. I’m sentimental that way, and thankfully I was wrong.

03 Nov 2009 Dead Space Extraction - Nintendo Wii

Buy Dead Space Extraction for Wii

Dead Space Extraction, the name may be familiar to you thanks to the release of a survival shooter on the PS3, PC and XBox 360. This particular release just so happens to be a prequel to what was one of my favourite games of 2008. However, Visceral have taken it in a very different direction to their previous release.

05 Oct 2009 The Haynes Video Gaming Manual - Book

Buy The Haynes Video Gaming Manual

Haynes are a company who have had to evolve. People don't/can't work on their cars anymore and so no longer have a need to get the brilliant Haynes Manuals. So, instead of moaning or crying about the current world, Haynes have confidently and cleverly branched out into a huge range of merchandise drawing on their iconic technical diagrams as well as books about just about anything, whether it be Man, Karts or the Home.

But most impressively, they have produced 2 of the best gaming books I have ever read. The first, Driving Games Manual was reviewed on the old site and I concluded that it was a loving tribute and a detailed guide to the world of Driving Video Games.

Now we have the second, The Video Gaming Manual. And it's even better!

The 5th (7th/8th?) game in the incredibly successful Guitar Hero series is upon us, but has it finally caught up or even surpassed the king of rhythm games, Rock Band 2?

15 Sep 2009 Mini Ninjas - DS

Buy Mini Ninjas on DS

This is a guest review by rockinghorsedreams.

As soon as I saw the first advert for Mini Ninjas I was hooked. It’s an action-adventure game with cutesy ninjas. What’s not to like? I knew I would have to pick it up, and apparently the developers knew too, because they put the bare minimum into their effort.

From the get Mini Ninjas was a disappointment, and I went in with absolutely rock bottom expectations. First off, it’s a multi-platform game, but I won’t fault it for that, but it was given no love by the developers. Even the 2D opening animation is clunky and blocky.

29 Aug 2009 Professor Layton and Pandora's Box

Buy Professor Layton and Pandora's Box on DS

The first Professor Layton game, Professor Layton and the Curious Village, was one of the very best DS games released when it came out in Europe last year, but even though the Japanese had at that point got the third game in the series, we were never sure if we'd get the second game, Professor Layton and Pandora's Box (Diabolical Box in the US). Thankfully Nintendo America/Europe saw sense (helped no end by the astronomical sales of the first game) and we now have the chance to play the follow up.

But is it any good?

25 Aug 2009 Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor - DS

Buy Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor on DS

The DS is home to a vast library of RPG and SRPG games from all different classes of developer and publisher, but none have piqued my interest quite like Atlus’ announcement last year that they were to developing a game for the handheld from their Shin Megami Tensei franchise, a franchise that should deserve to surpass Square-Enix’s Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest series’ but just hasn’t gained the success it deserves. Funny then that its released slipped under my radar, in fairness it came out during one of the many “indifferent” periods I’ve had with games so far this year, but now I’ve got my hands on it, I’m very glad I’ve done so.

22 Jul 2009 Guitar Hero : Greatest Hits - 360/PS3/Wii

Buy Guitar Hero : Greatest hits on Wii/360/PS3

Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits is a collection of the very best tracks form all the previous GH games, including the Aerosmith and Rocks The 80’s spin offs. The big difference this time is that these tracks are all now master recordings and now support the full band set as introduced in GH: World Tour.

15 Jul 2009 Tales of Monkey Island: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal - PC/Wii

Lucas Arts, the name screams "Star Wars Cash In" to most, but to others it mutters confidently "Point & Click", and there's no stronger series than that of Monkey Island, a series renowned for its odd puzzles and sense of humour, and now Telltale Games, makes of the recent Sam & Max episodes (another Lucas Arts classic) have turned their attention to Guybrush Threepwood, Elaine and evil undead pirate LeChuck for another batch of episodic downloads, the first of which is now available on PC and should shortly be available for purchase on Nintendo's WiiWare service, which in my mind the game is absolutely perfectly suited to.

04 Jul 2009 The Sims 3 - PC

Buy The Sims 3

I’ll take for granted that all are familiar with the basic premise of The Sims, a god-type game that allows you to control every minute detail of your mini-me’s life – for better or for worse. Sims 3 is the new addition to the series that is guaranteed to satisfy everyone’s inner Zues.

23 Jun 2009 Grand Slam Tennis - Wii

Buy EA Grand Slam Tennis | With MotionPlus

Thinking about it, do we really need another tennis game on Wii? We all have Wii Sports right, well nearly all of us judging by the shelves in my local CEX anyway. So if nearly every single current and future Wii owner in the world has a tennis game included with their console, surely that base is covered? Well, EA Sports don't think so, and they've released Grand Slam Tennis just in time for Nintendo's Wii Motion Plus and the real worlds Wimbledon competition.
