  • We Sing Pop! – Review
    There have been more singing titles than buses recently and Nordic games have been behind most of the ones on the Wii.  This is not a bad thing as most of the “We Sing” and “We Dance” titles have been pretty successful with the newest instalment in the series being: We Sing Pop.  This title tries to get more players by appealing to the young and...

  • Bit Trip Complete – Review
    A long time ago games used to be much simpler things.  Literally made of bits and pixels.  If you can remember the graphics of Pong then you know what I mean.  There was no smooth texturing, facial mapping and CGI silliness.  This was good old fashioned gaming at its purest form.  Bit Trip was a WiiWare title that had many versions.  This was hugely popular and addictive....

  • GoldenEye 007 – Review
    This past year at E3 Nintendo generated a lot of buzz when they announced that a GoldenEye 007 remake was coming to the Wii. Even better news was that it was only a few months away so we didn’t have to wait too long. GoldenEye is finally here and after going through it I can safely say that it is still a whole lot of fun.  There were a few times where the framerate...

  • Secret Files: Tunguska – Review
    Secret Files: Tunguska is a point and click adventure. If you are a fan of those titles then you should find a lot to enjoy here. If you aren’t a fan of that game style then this probably won’t be the title that converts you. The premise of this game deals with a massive unexplained explosion that took place in the Tunguska region in 1908.  The game is...
