Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 review

It’s that time of year again when Tiger Woods returns with another game with a higher number than the year before (see our Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 review for a look at last years). This is Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 which stands for 2010 and there are some fundamental changes this time around. The main thing I noticed about this new title is there’s no Tiger Challenge mode. This was the only real mode I played on the game and now it’s been replaced by the Tournament Challenge mode which sets you a number of tasks based on...

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince review

I haven’t seen the movie yet but braved reviewing the game on the Wii nonetheless even though it of course contains spoilers. I won’t go into the plot of the game or the movie here but it’s safe to say the game features lots of running about Hogwarts as you uncover another mysterious plot that always comes back to Voldermort. Being on the Wii, you use the nunchuck to move Potter round the environment, but then use the remote in what boils down to three games throughout the main game to either pilot your broomstick in games of Quidditch, mix...

PDC World Championship Darts 2009 review

Darts is a rather unusual sport because it’s one of the very few that doesn’t require the participants to be physical athletes at a professional level. In fact Darts players still prize themselves on being down to earth regular folk who like to drink, smoke and generally not be particularly fit or healthy. The main reason for this is the culture that has seen Darts from its English conception as a lazy mans tennis up to the modern worldwide sport it we know today. A typical darts player was introduced to it at their local pub or bar whilst they...

Water Warfare review

First person shooters have often faced criticism because of their increasing level of violence and realism. I don’t want to get stuck into the argument about whether games encourage kids (or people in general) to be violent, what I do know is that Water Warfare for Wii is the first FPS designed for children that I’ve ever seen and it’s from Hudson Software. Let’s delve deeper in my review of Water Warfare for Wii. My first ever experience of a first person shooter was a game called Gloom for the Amiga in 1995 and since then I’ve played a fair...

Nintendo Quiz Show

Our favourite Japanese company are finally spending some of the cash they’ve been printing with the incredible sales of the Nintendo DS and Wii. After a successful advertising and sponsorship campaign on Channel 4 in the UK last year, Nintendo have decided to sponsor a new quiz show called Britain’s Best Brain for Channel 5. It appears the show’s format uses a similar set of skills to that of the successful Brain Age for DS and Big Brain Academy for Wii. Contestants on the show will need to be highly skilful with their memory, co-ordination, numeracy, recognition and risk taking.
