Just Dance 3 Review - Xbox 360, PS3 & Nintendo Wii

Wednesday, October 12th, 2011

Just Dance 3 Kinect/Move/Wii adds full body dancing and bespoke choreography to what is already my favourite dance game. Sensibly shaped dancers and a great track list make this a great party game for all ages.
We have really enjoyed Just Dance in our family, and bought the first two games on the Wii - […]

FIFA 12 Review

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011

FIFA 12 connects movement and collision with its new impact engine, but its the series longevity that will appeal to real football fans.
If you play football, at any level, you will know that it is as much about tactics and positional play as it is about blistering pace and twinkle toed centre forwards. Perhaps the […]

Wii U Preview

Friday, August 12th, 2011

Although I don’t always stay up to date with all the latest videogame comings and goings, since the Wii and the DS I seem to be more aware with what Nintendo’s doing. I don’t think it’s just me, the main stream media seem much more willing to write about the Wii than other consoles — […]

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 - Review

Friday, July 22nd, 2011

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 360/PS3/Wii is a solid run and gun game where spells replace firepower. However beyond this the story and multiplayer features have fallen by the wayside.
I’m not the biggest Harry Potter fan but I did enjoy reading the books when I was a younger. The films never quite […]

Cars 2 Review - Nintendo Wii

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

Cars 2 Wii is a MarioKart beater. What might have been a boring movie spin-off turns out to be one of the best kart racers I’ve rented for a long time.
I really enjoyed playing Toy Story 3 on the Wii with my friends last year. Something about it made it stand out from all the […]

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean Review - Nintendo 3DS

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game 3DS bristles with high seas imagination. But beyond the portability of this visually impressive version, there are still a few holes in what has become the second tier of LEGO games next to the Wii, 360 and PS3 versions. Long story short, bring back multiplayer.
The LEGO videogames […]

Kirby’s Epic Yarn (Wii) Review

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

Kirby’s Epic Yarn Wii isn’t just a reinvention but new gaming paradigm. Courage of their convictions makes this rental as fresh and enjoyable as when Kirby first stepped onto our screens in 1992.
TV shows have long understood the art of the re-launch. A series like Master Chef can change from Lloyd Grossman’s food snobbery to […]

Just Dance 2 Review

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

Just Dance 2 bucks the trend of childish dance games to offer a great rental original experience with superb music. It’s fun on your own, and a great laugh to play with your mates.
I hadn’t rented the first Just Dance game because I never find Wii rhythm games very satisfying. They are either the sugary […]

Wii Party Review

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

Wii-Party looks like it’s an acquired taste, but as I discovered when we played it one wet weekend, there is much more to it than a few minigames.
There aren’t that many Wii games that my sisters and I really click with, and now we all live in separate houses we don’t have so much […]

Friday, October 8th, 2010

The Just Dance phenomenon has everybody on their feet, moving to the beat and just having fun! There’s no humiliation, no nasty judges… and no doubt about it: Just Dance has got us all back on the dance floor… begging for more!
Developed exclusively for Wii, Just Dance 2, with its improved […]
