In 2009, North American gamers were introduced to a brand new concept by Kazuyoshi Osawa - who had previously worked on WarioWare titles - when Nintendo brought over Rhythm Heaven for the DS from Japan. The game was aiming for the same type of “pick up and play”, accessible fun that the WarioWare games offer. Three years later, Nintendo brings us the sequel, this time on the Wii, which gives us similar mechanics and a slew of new mini-games. Will it be enough to convince gamers ...
It was almost eriely timely when this review showed up. I was Tweeting about the Wii being essentially dead (beyond 1st party, of course) just as Zombii Attack, a WiiWare title, showed up in my Inbox. Now, my stance hasn’t changed, mind you, but I did think it was a bit coincidental as I haven’t reviewed a WiiWare game in well over a year (it was And Yet It Moves, if you are curious). But I digress...
Zombii Attack is about...well...a zombie attack. The apocalypse has finally ...
Let’s take a moment to look at our video game collection for this generation. The large majority of us have at least one or two multiplayer-heavy shooters that we pick up every so often. We also have the third person action adventure games such as Uncharted, Batman, and The Legend of Zelda series. Now let’s wind the clocks back to the age of the Nintendo and Super Nintendo Entertainment systems. The difference is of no surprise, and understandable. While the platforming genre ...
While the level of quality entertainment provided by Steven Spielberg’s latest animated blockbuster, The Adventures of Tintin and the Secret of the Unicorn, doesn’t need to be established, the inevitable video game adaptation tied in with the release of the film does have a lot to prove. Knowing that these adaptations don’t always rhyme with quality, where does this version of Tintin’s adventures stand in the grand scheme of things? Let’s find out!
One thing ...
Board-game style video games can often be a kind of hit or miss thing. Titles such as the popular Mario Party find itself in great success, releasing sequel after sequel and continuing to be a series that is loved by gamers to this day. However, games that try to bank off that success could easily be a failure. Yes, I’m looking at you, Rugrats: Scavenger Hunt. The conflict that remains with any game of this genre is the question of "why should I put away the board in favor of the ...
As the holidays roll around, we can all agree that it’s important to think about the kids. Taking this into consideration, developers would be wise to release wacky, kid-friendly games as the season of giving draws near, and as usual, we have those titles that stand out, those that are rushed out, and those that are just merely okay. As October came to a close, publisher Disney Interactive Studios worked with developer Eurocom to give us Disney Universe. While children are easily ...
It can be hard to imagine a better fit than the hit dance/music group sensation, The Black Eyed Peas, and party-style dance games. The two go together like peanut butter and jelly. What’s even harder to imagine is how this concept can turn out so poorly, or not be fun for people into the genre in general. Casual gamer or not, take a moment to think about how enjoyable it could be to have friends over, dancing to the catchy tunes of the Peas, along with the stars themselves right on ...
After Tennis, Soccer, Baseball and the Mario/Sonic Olympic Games, here comes Mario Sports Mix, the newest installment of sports compilation games featuring our favorite plumber and his posse. What’s new this time around? Well, four sports (Hockey, Dodgeball, Basketball and Volleyball) are being featured for the first time ever. Wait? What? They aren’t new? You are correct. Hockey was featured in the Olympic Games, Basketball in Mario Hoops 3 on 3 and Volleyball in some Mario ...
You know what I hate about writing a review for a compilation title? Trying to find something positive to say when there’s clearly nothing great to mention. Like the Wii didn’t have enough compilation titles to offer as it is, Namco decided to take their entire 2007 Museum Mix pack (9 original games and five remixes), add an extra remixed game (Grobda) alongside the original versions of four of the the six “remixed” titles, dump five old games, slap the ...
First off, I have to make myself clear on something: I am not a fan of Naruto. Don’t get me wrong! I don’t hate the series at all, I just don’t have much interest in it. I watched a few episodes of the anime, but it wasn’t my thing. However, I have played a Naruto game or two in my time and they weren’t too bad. So, I figured I would approach this game with complete neutrality since after all, a brand does not make or break a game. As such, I went into this game ...
