Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 review

Another year sees another incarnation of what’s widely regarded as the definitive golf game featuring Tiger Woods. After his recent behaviour I really wasn’t sure whether this would see the light of day but here it is and I promise not to make any jokes about all the holes Tiger’s aiming for in this review. So, what’s new? Well, the main game mode is The Ryder Cup – how apt. This simulates the competition which happens every other year against Europe and the US and lets you play in teams against each other You can even play the thing online...

Donkey Kong Country Returns release date

Now this I did not expect. Retro Studio’s the developer of the Metroid Prime trilogy pull a surprise punch with the return of my favourite Nintendo Platformer (sorry Mario); Donkey Kong Country. After Microsoft’s acquisition of Rare Software I thought there would be no chance of a true sequel to the superb Super Nintendo game series. Yes we had Donkey Kong Jungle Beat which was an interesting rhythm based platformer that came boxed with plastic bongos, but it wasn’t a true DKC game. Donkey Kong Country Returns for Wii is an awesome looking platforming side-scroller that promises to bring back...

Mario Sports Mix

Mario Sports Mix release date

On one hand Nintendo are well known for being very protective with their game franchises and characters, but on the other hand Nintendo also have made some very strange decisions and have often sold out Mario and his Mushroom Kingdom friends out for a quick buck. We’ve had; Mario Party, Paper Mario, Mario Tennis, Mario Golf and a Mario Baseball title. One thing games have in common is that they’re not in fact developed by Nintendo themselves. Instead they’re farmed out to 2nd or 3rd party developers and quite frankly it usually shows because most of the time the games...

Wii Party release date

There was a big effort from Nintendo at this year’s E3 to show a good mix of core and casual titles, Wii Party looks to be Nintendo’s very own casual title for this holiday season. If you can picture in your mind a cross between Wii Sports Resort and Mario Party then you will likely be envisaging Wii Party. 13 different party game modes and 70+ minigames that can all be play with the standard Wii Remote motion controller await you in Wii Party for Wii. Rather pleasantly this isn’t just a Mario cash in; just like Wii Sports everyone...

Just Dance 2 release date

If I asked you to think of games that have sold over 3 million on the Nintendo Wii then I wouldn’t blame you for suggesting titles such as Mario Kart and Wii Fit . But did you know that hit party game Just Dance has joined such illustrious titles in selling multiple million copies. With such success you shouldn’t be surprised to hear that Ubisoft have just announced Just Dance 2 for Wii. Featuring over 45 new tracks which are a mix of classic hits today’s chart-toppers. Combine that with a whole new overhaul to the dance system and plenty...

Kirbys Epic Yarn release date

Nintendo were full of surprises at this year’s E3; not only did we see a new Zelda and a new Nintendo DS, but we also got a look at some great new games for Nintendo Wii this year. Kirbys Epic Yarn for Wii is a brand new title in the long running Kirby franchise, just as with most of the previous games this is a 2D Side Scrolling platformer. As you’ll probably already know, Kirby is a flying shape-shifting pink blob that can absorb special powers from the enemies he eats. This time around though most of Kirby’s amazing powers...
