Wii will rock you with this karoke game
Karaoke games – they're a genre that can be made or broken by their song selection. And while the We Sing series do generally have impeccable taste in track lists, sometimes you want something a li...
Ubisoft's dancing game goes from strength to strength
There seem to be two types of dancing games out there – the trying hard to be cool, ludicrously hard Dance Centrals, and the happy-go-lucky, neon, less judgemental Just Dances. Where Dance Central ...
Karaoke game showcasing the Best of British music
We Sing: UK Hits is the latest in the We Sing series of karaoke games for the Wii – and, as the title suggests, is packed full of songs by a load of artists said to represent the best of British mu...
Feet, hands, it doesn't matter - get down and dance on the Wii
We all know how popular games like Just Dance and Zumba Fitness have become, spending record number...
Just Dance gets a Smurfover
In case you haven't noticed the numerous posters, TV adverts, and magazine covers (and even more surprisingly, i...
All the fun of painting - without the cleaning up!
Most children like to draw. And a lot of children like playing games. Being the eagle eyed investors that they are, the folks over at THQ spotted this gap in the market, and decided that it was about ...
Epic-ally wool-derful, or knit so good?
Kirby likes eating. Especially tomatoes - those are his favourite. So you can imagine how excited everyone's favourite pink puffball was when he saw a massive one, just resting on top of a bush, while...
Is there anything he can't do?
25 years down the line, and we're starting to wonder if Mario was ever a plumber after all. After all, when you look at the things he can do, he seems like some sort of super-human God in disguise, or...
A party blast from the past
I have something of a soft spot for the Mario Party games. Ever since getting Mario Party 4 on the Gamecube many, many years ago, there's been something about their addictive mix of board game fun, ...
Bring on the wall!
It's a good job Nintendo released those protective sheaths for the Wii Remotes. While Nintendo have always maintained they were designed to protect the Remote, and anything it hits, from damage if...
Become Spidey, Thor and Iron Man on the Wii
"Wow, what's that game?" my Mother asked, pointing to the large, oversized box on the table. "It's a new Marvel game for the Wii" I replied, her interest obviously peaked. "That looks great for the ki...
Monkeying around is not an option
As far as accessibility in games go, Nintendo have always been something of a pioneering company. With the Wii and DS leading the way, making games more accessible to people who'd never even picked up...
It's the taking part that counts
There's nothing explicitly wrong with Hot Wheels: Track Attack as a game. A child friendly kart-style racer, in the vein of Mario Kart, it certainly ticks all the boxes. Outlandish track - check. ...
The good, the bad, and the Western Heroes
There's always been something inticing about the wild west. From the spaghetti western films of old, the setting seems to have gone somewhat out of fashion lately (Will Smith in Wild Wild West seemed ...
Lithuanian for 'more than a little bit naff'
Walk into any game shop, and the odds are you'll come across several mini-game collections for the Wii - and it's into this already over-saturated area of the market that 101-in-1 Sports Party Megamix...
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!
***You will NEED a Nunchuck each to play this game – it's used in, and must be plugged in, for practically every mini-game, bar the 'Just Dance' section, where it advises you to un...
Wii Remote wanging workout wonderfulness
I missed the original Just Dance phenomenon, as I didn't have a Wii at the time, and generally I suck at dancing (although it did make me smile when I heard it had knocked Call of Duty off the top of ...
It's an invertibrate invasion.
Worms. They're a bit icky really, aren't they? One of the creepiest of creepy crawlies (you can't even really tell which way round they go - how creepy is that?), the idea of playing as them in a game...
Blast off, at the speed of sound.
It seems that Dr. Robotnik, like most of the world's geniuses, has just been misunderstood. He's not really a fat, egg shaped genius, intent on destroying Sonic, and imprisoning cute animals everywh...
Farming, giraffes and jam - all in one game.
I've never played a Harvest Moon game before, despite being relatively interested in the game - probably because of the generally bright, colourful and cute box arts. I'm like some sort of smiley face...
