Review: Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon
Fragile Dreams is a very strange game. In some ways, I failed to see a game in it at all. Its pacing is so slow and repetitive that I never really felt much was accomplished on my journey. Yet the strange, beguiling story kept me trudging along to the end.
Review: New Play Control! Pikmin
With the Wii’s unique control scheme, there have been many to ponder what certain games released in the last generation would be like with motion controls. The vastly improved and wildly successful port of Resident Evil 4 has caught people’s attention and validated the control scheme as a possible improvement to the Gamecube controller in that it allows for faster response and increased accuracy.
Review: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Ultimate All-Stars
Nothing is harder than writing a review for a fighting game. Part of me wants to write about my issue with figuring out the combos, another part of me has too much pride to even mention such a trivial issue. How much do I have to play the game to know that I have experienced everything it has to offer? Do I have to master the game to really understand how good it is, or do I simply play each character, pull off every move, and defeat it once?
I spent over 15 hours playing Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom Ultimate All-Stars (TvC) before I felt I could write a fair review. I have tried my hand at every character, and have attempted each move and tried out a a couple of the controller options. How did the game fair in my opinion? It’s fantastic.
Review: Squeeballs Party Wii
Until playing this game, I had never heard of a Squeeball. A Squeeball is a fictional toy made on a secret island located mysteriously in the Pacific Ocean. These toys must be tested before they are released for sale, and YOU are the tester.
It sounds like this was inspired by the success of Viva Pinata, but the two games couldn’t be more different. Squeeballs Party Wii is mini-game based that tasks you with bowling over, shocking, squashing, shooting, feeding, pumping and painting with the cute little guys. That’s it, really.
Product Review: Nerf Sports Plus Sports Pack, Nerf Resort Swords, & Nerf Wii Wheel
The Wii got us all off the couch, playing games in pantomime with WiiMote in hand. Nerf took it one step further and with the Nerf Sports Plus Sports Pack you can attach a bat, a golf club, or a tennis racket for a more robust Wii experience.
Review: Diner Dash (PSN/XBLA)
Diner Dash is one of those crazy casual game phenomenons that will have all gamers – casual and hardcore alike – in a frenzy trying to complete each level’s goal by serving the customer’s every whim. The game has been around since about 2003 and has been on virtually every platform imaginable. Diner Dash made its console debut in November 2009 with releases on the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and will find it’s way to the Wii via WiiWare by the end of this year.
Review: Kamen Rider Dragon Knight (Wii)
Kamen Rider Dragon Knight fans will be happy to know that not only will they be able to take the Kamen Riders with them on the go with Kamen Rider Dragon Knight DS but will also be able to play head to head with their friends as they take on their favorite characters from the show in the Wii version of the fighting game.
Review: Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles
What could be more fun than killing a bunch of zombies? We can’t think of anything better to do! On November 17, 2009 Capcom released Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles (RE: TDC), the sequel to last year’s Wii rail shooter, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.
Review: Excitebike: World Rally (WiiWare)
Last night, April and I invited a couple of friends over and plopped down $10 for the new Excitebike: World Rally. After a few hours of play, I can tell you that this game is still a blast after all these years. It still has all the charm of the original, yet it adds a few features that ups the challenge.
