Manic Monkey Mayhem review

As you have probably gathered from the name, this game features Monkey’s and a whole host of Manic Mayhem. Now unlike other Monkey based games full of mayhem, this one doesn’t just seemingly trap Monkey’s inside giant hamster balls for fun (Super Monkey Ball) and neither does it force you to battle a giant reptile King with the help of a Rhino (Donkey Kong Country). Taking inspiration from Nintendo’s motion controller, Worms and possibly even Steven Spielberg’s Boom Blox, the developers of Manic Monkey Mayhem have tried to create a fun game based around throwing bananas and coconuts. You seize...

My Zoo review

I’m not embarrassed to say that I’m an animal lover. I share my house with a rabbit, four cats and ten chickens. Well ok the chickens don’t actually live in the house but you know what I mean. I would go as far as to say that I’d prefer the company of almost every animal on the planet rather than that of a human. All except moths, I can’t say I like moths that much at all. Sure you could call me a hippy but no animal is going to rob me in a dark alley or blow up a...

WiiWare Demos Now Available

What a turnaround for the books this is. Nintendo, possibly the world’s most reserved video game company are giving in to popular demand and are trialling demos for WiiWare. Whilst Nintendo have offered select Nintendo DS demos via the Nintendo Channel for a long time now, Wii owners have never had the opportunity to trial Wii software. Currently only three games are available to demo on your Wii; these are NyxQuest, Brit Trip Beat and Final Fantasy My Life as a DarkLord. All three of these can be downloaded from the Wii Shop Channel directly to your Wii or SD...

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games review

Even though Mario and Sonic have been the best of buddies for over a year now it still doesn’t sit right with me somehow. It’s not as if Mario and Sonic were ever deadly enemies but being opposing mascots was enough to divide opinion between Nintendo and Sega fans; personally I’ve always preferred Mario to Sonic. I still feel uncomfortable when meeting someone who preferred or still prefers Sonic games. Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games could be considered a sequel to last year’s title but I’d describe it as more of a complimentary game. Because it doesn’t...
