The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword release date

There was plenty of good news at Nintendo’s E3 press conference and a little bad. First the good, we finally got our first look at the new Wii Zelda title, The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. The bad news is that the game has slipped from its original Christmas 2010 schedule. Let’s not dwell on that too much though because, we finally saw the new Zelda. For starters we now know that Skyward Sword for Wii is a MotionPlus only title, the add-on unit for the Wii Remote will provide greater accuracy and more realistic sword fighting and archery skills....

Sin and Punishment Successor of the Skies review

Sin and Punishment is an on-rails shooter on the Wii which sees you running and flying around a number of crazy locations shooting everything in sight. The difference being, unlike recent shooters on the Wii, this time around it’s not a first-person view you play in and instead you play the game Space Harrier style as you not only shoot things but have to watch where your little man on the screen is too if you don’t want to die early. The story is the usual Japanese crazy stuff I don’t understand. Isa Jo and Kachi are the two main...

Call of Duty Black Ops release date

At this year’s E3 we got a much better look at Call of Duty Black Ops, the latest in the COD series from Treyarch. The exclusive demo at Microsoft’s press conference started out with a Vietnam jungle firefight with the objective of stealing a helicopter which was then quickly used to travel down river taking out bridges and countless other baddies. I didn’t think anyone would improve upon the visuals seen in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 but I have been proven wrong, Treyarch and Activision seem to have an obvious hit on their hands this Holiday season. The...

Metroid Other M release date

It’s shocking to think that when Metroid Other M Wii comes to our shores, Metroid Prime 3 will already be three years old. Metroid Other M for the Wii was not only a surprise reveal at E3 2009 but along with the game’s announcement came more surprises. Firstly the game’s co-development with Team Ninja was an unexpected shift away from the previous partnership with Retro Studios and secondly, a new gameplay mechanic was unveiled. Metroid Other M is a third person adventure which fuses the classic retro 2D Metroid gameplay with modern first person shooter action. You control Samus in...

NBA Jam release date

Any gamer worth their salt must remember NBA Jam; the totally whacked out 2 on 2 basketball game that was on almost every game system around 93/94. It’s crazy to think that we hardly had any decent Basketball games to play until NBA Jam came along and spiced things up with real player faces and over the top gameplay. NBA Jam returns once more this October and promises to be just as much fun as it was back in the day, with much better visuals of course. The NBA Jam Wii release date is October 5th 2010, until then you’ll...

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 release date

Tiger Woods 10 was one of the biggest selling titles for Nintendo Wii last year. This wasn’t because the Wii outdid the HD consoles with great graphics or an exclusive Tiger Woods Hot Coffee minigame. No of course the Wii with its unique motion controls meant that if you wanted to have that real golf feel then Tiger Woods on Wii was the way to go. Just like last year, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 for Wii sees small but nonetheless impressive improvements over the previous year’s releases. This year Tiger Woods 11 for Wii once again has additional support...
