The Silent Hill series has been on shaky ground ever since development was taken from the original Team Silent. The Xbox 360/PS3/PC title, Silent Hill: Homecoming was greeted with an average reception from both critics and fans. The by-the-numbers PSP/PS2 prequel, Silent Hill Origins, developed by Climax Studios, met a similar fate. Climax Studios were given another chance, this time with a Wii re-imagining of the original Silent Hill. The result is Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. Continue Reading…
Before I go all western-samurai on you, I just want to say a few things. Besides two-thirds of its name, Red Steel 2 has absolutely no connection to the original game. Personally, I think Ubisoft would have been better off calling it Wii Stabby Mc Stab Stab or even Steel Red, but if the name Red Steel 2 is what they really want, then so be it. After all, I’m not the one (or game in this case) who’ll be attached to the dodgy Wii launch title, Red Steel, for the 
The problem with most videogames that are based on movies is that they don’t do anything innovative or memorable. Most of these games merely copy a highly successful game and dumb down the formula in order to make as much money off the film as possible, while spending as little as possible on developing the game. Unfortunately, Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs (CWACOM) follows that pattern.
When Capcom’s solid but flawed on-rails shooter, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, was released back in 2007, the absence of the Resident Evil 2 and Code: Veronica storylines was very noticeable and earned Capcom the ire of many fans. Fortunately they were quick to announce a follow-up, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, which promised to cover the storylines of both of these games.
iCarly is a popular Nickelodeon comedy program that follows the misadventures of a group of friends as they attempt to run a successful web show. Based on the rising popularity of social media and blogging websites such as Twitter and YouTube, the program has proven to be a massive hit with tweens, teens and adults alike. 
Toy Story remains the ultimate go-to film for child minders. The film’s accessibility completely transcends gender and age, and it holds up to multiple viewings incredibly well. The franchise is almost ludicrously marketable too – I just bought my sister a borderline ridiculous Buzz Lightyear doll for Christmas, complete with 65 phrases and various flashing lights (I cannot wait to play with it). With Toy Story 3 on the horizon, Pixar’s presumably bottomless coffers will no doubt soon be filled with more money than a Trump/Murdock dinner party conversation. 
Like Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! before it, Bakugan is the latest craze in the monster battling, anime-inspired collectible card games that are incredibly popular with the pre-teen crowd, and it seems it has finally made its way to a video game. Bakugan: Battle Brawlers for Wii is the result.
When a new Mario game is announced people expect things. Why? Because Mario games are titles that redefine the way people think about games, make games and play games. When New Super Mario Bros. Wii was announced things were no different. Once again, people expected Nintendo’s latest Mario title to revolutionise the way we play. So the question I’ll be answering is whether NSMB Wii has, or has not, revolutionised the way games are played, and in particular, if it has somehow redefined the 2D platforming genre.
