06 Nov 2009 13:00:48 PST

Written by Stephen Totilo

DJ Hero - review

03 Nov 2009 17:24:33 PST

Dj Hero offers a variety of music from Hip-Hop to Rock, which will suit any gamer old and new into music & rhythm games. The turntable controller feels very durable, however the crossfader on the controller will need some adjustment. It doesn't seem to want to lock into the center very we...

ONM’s New Super Mario Bros. Wii review - more details

20 Oct 2009 12:58:00 PDT

Written by RawmeatCowboy
“The game does start off as easy as its handheld sibling did (by the end of World 3 we had earned 68 lives), but it soon gets fiendishly difficult and will have even the most die-hard Mario players cursing at times. Instead of feeling like it was designed primarily for four players with the sin...

Frankenreview: Wii Fit Plus [Round Up]

07 Oct 2009 23:00:00 PDT

Written by Mike Fahey
Nintendo has been very careful to call Wii Fit a fitness "tool" not a fitness "solution" for obvious legal reasons. Neither Wii Fit nor its successor, Wii Fit Plus, will magically make you thinner or more easily able to resist tasty food. However, there's a lot to be said for a game that makes t...

Wii Fit Plus was developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo for the Wii on October 4. The full kit with the Balance Board costs $100, but if you already own the Balance Board, you can get the box copy for $20. A copy of the game was given to us by the publisher for reviewing purposes.

It may not be called Wii Sports 2, but for all intents and purposes, that's exactly what Wii Sports Resort is. Using the Wuhu Island setting of Wii Fit (guess it saves them from having to program a whole new environment from scratch), Wii Sports Resort offers up 12 new activities to enjoy. Well...

Wii MotionPlus Review

30 Jul 2009 14:00:00 PDT

Written by Jason Chen
The hardware is a big step forward, but it's not the end of the road. If I had to put a number on it, I'd say this was 80% of the way there to delivering true 1:1 motion detection in the hardware. Unless Nintendo releases a Wii MotionPlusPlus, I don't expect that it will get all that much better in th...

No Classic Controller Support: The game supports simple Wii Remote controls, but not the option to use the more comfortable Classic Controller, with its larger directional pad and buttons. That's disappointing, as is the reliance on the Wii Remote to point for all menu choices, but that...

Let's find out! Just like they did for both Xbox 360 and PS3 games, market research firm EEDAR have rounded out the trilogy by tracking every Wii game's Metacritic score and found how much of the system's catalogue has been a hit with critics, and how much of it hasn't.

Mario Kart Wii includes the Wii Wheel controller (right), a plastic shell that you insert the Wiimote into. Unlike last year's Wii Zapper gun controller, which was pretty much a useless piece of junk, the Wii Wheel does help your accuracy by stabilizing your hands and letting you turn the W...

Opinion: Say, Did You Know How Many Wii Games Suck? [Nintendo Wii]

13 Feb 2008 00:30:00 PST

Written by Luke Plunkett
How awful? See above. While every console of the past eight years (sorry Dreamcast) have seen their games average around 69-71%, the average Wii score is only 64%. Which leads to much hypothesizing in the piece about reviewers not "understanding" the Wii, theories on the impact of shovelw...
