Say what you will about the recent Clone Wars movie, but I thought it was great. Sure, it was aimed squarely at kids, but on the flipside, it felt like a return to that fun, swashbuckling style of the original Star Wars trilogy. The battle scenes were epic, the acting was better (well, mostly) than in the prequel trilogy, and the main characters went on an adventure. The Clone Wars TV series is even better, because taking the franchise out of George ... Read More

The realisation that Christmas had truly arrived came in an MSN conversation between myself and PrattP. You see, as a games reviewer my working relationship with him basically consists of me asking for games he’ll never get, and him sending me games I never like (with the exception of Monster Jam). Naturally, it was a surprise when he asked me, out of the blue, if I wanted to review Prince of Persia: The Fallen King. I nearly jumped out of my skin, ... Read More

There’s no denying that a Wiimote-style controller could be used to fantastic effect as a lightsaber in a game. Unfortunately, it just doesn’t seem like it’s possible with the technology the Wii presents at the moment. Maybe with the upcoming Motion Plus? We can hope. Nonetheless, Aussie developers Krome have made a valiant attempt at making a fun game based around this concept, but ultimately it falls short in just about every area. Read More

It’s rare indeed when the challenge of deciphering the title of a videogame outlasts the gameplay. Unfortunately, this is the case for the ridiculously named More Game Party, Midway’s latest attempt at a party game in the style of Wii Play. Featuring shallow mini-games that test the players’ ability to throw darts, shoot hoops and slide pucks, More Game Party tries to be competitive multiplayer madness. However, it falls well short of this target. Read More

Littlest PetShop is a game based on the brand of the same name. The title is targeted at young females and is available in three different versions just like the Nintendogs series. The game involves players unlocking pets, collecting items, playing mini-games and exploring worlds. Read More

In short? This game is horrible. Wii Sports Golf is easily a better game, and that comes on a disc with the console along with several other games. Stick with that. Read More

Ever had the urge to restore a defeated kingdom to its former glory? Probably not, but if you are one of the few that have had this unlikely desire then maybe you should take a look at MySims Kingdom, as it is a game that gives you the opportunity to rebuild an empire. Read More

It’s not often, if ever, that I have to sit down and come up with an opening line for a game that has absolutely no pedigree whatsoever. The subject of today’s review is an original, standalone title, with no established characters or franchise to provide brand recognition. It is based primarily off a game genre that exists almost exclusively in the realm of internet flash games. Even the game developer, 5th Cell, started out as a mobile phone game developer and has ...

Electronic Arts’ latest kiddie creation is a game called Zubo, but unlike last year’s MySims, it is instantly obvious that this new trademark has had an extra amount of effort included into it during the development process. Unknowledgeable kids and gamers alike could be in for a treat with Zubo, because for once Electronic Arts has been daring enough to try something different. So now just sit back, relax, and read on in order to find out if Zubo is just another ... Read More
