Donkey Kong Country Returns is a fantastic addition to the classic franchise; not steering away from the old school side scrolling we’re so used to at all but rather implementing new ideas to the series much like New Super Mario Bros Wii. The story begins with a volcanic eruption which releases a massive tiki bitch [...]
The Nintendo Wii is dominated by games that your typical soccer-mom or young child would play, with accessible motion controllers, colourful graphics, simple gameplay and cute characters being present in the majority of games on the console. However, this changed back in 2008 when Suda 51 released the controversial No More Heroes, an action game [...]
The opportunity of becoming smarter is something that would appeal to a lot of people as this could improve your everyday life, leading to a better job and a more rewarding life as a whole and therefore Nintendo have been clever to capitalise on this market with their game Big Brain Academy. Nintendo suggests that [...]
For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to travel out to South Africa and embark on an epic safari, getting up close to animals and experiencing amazing creatures such as Lions in their natural habitat. Due to a lack of funds and being too busy with exams, I’ve unfortunately not had [...]
Sword wielding fun, leads to frustration When the Nintendo Wii released Ubisoft launched it’s rather Eastern and interesting first person combat game Red Steel, unfortunately the game was rather flawed and whilst it had promise, the games swordplay mechanic was fundementally simple whilst the shooting was a little off the mark.

The choice is overwhelming and this area of the market seems to be blockaded with shovel ware. Fortunately we have a [...]
If I see that chicken man again, I’m going to scream! Don’t you just hate it when a game screaming potential from the opening sequence is ruined by poor gameplay decisions, short-cuts in level design and it residing on a platform of which control system makes for it being a rather cumbersome affair at times? [...]
Spraying bullets out of yer butt is better than sweetcorn Mentally scarred already? Sorry for the toilet humor, however the whole plotline to Astro Boy is like toilet humor in itself, you just can’t take it seriously. If you haven’t seen the movie already then I suggest you watch it if you haven’t got anything [...]
A rather Swedish approach to karaoke Karaoke games are ten to a dozen on the Nintendo Wii, it’s a market full of choice and a market pretty saturated, whether it be Disney’s properties or others the like, choosing a Karaoke title on the Wii couldn’t be more difficult. Unfortunately it seems that not even Nordic [...]
Exceedingly good, much like a Mr Kipling cake. Ah the Nintendo Wii. The sexiest looking console of this generation but at the very same time the weakest, perhaps it suffers from Gok Wan syndrome? Never the less when a Nintendo Wii game does captivate me, I get goose bumps down my spine, it’s such a [...]
