Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 Wii Version review

Last year everyone was surprised when PES came out on the Wii and delivered a very different take on the football game we’re all very familiar with. Instead of controlling players individually and only getting full control when they have the ball, the Wii version let you send players on runs exactly where you wanted them to go by dragging a ‘rubber band’ for them to follow. This changed the way you played and let you play as a whole team which, although tricky to pick up, become really fun to play once you got the hang of it. This...

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has announced a few new things for the Wii and DS.

Sonic and the Black Knight review

Sonic games seem to be two-a-penny these days (Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Chronicles The Dark Brotherhood) and Sonic and the Black Knight is Sega’s latest attempt at actually making a good Sonic game in 3D. This time he gets summoned to the world of King Arthur who looks a lot meaner than he ever was in any stories I’ve ever heard. Equipped with a sword that bounces up and down and talks to you, you’re off to defeat Arthur, running into other enemies such as Lancelot who are actually other Sonic characters Shadow, Knuckles and Amy with armour on. Tails...

Mushroom Men The Spore Wars review

Gamecock and SouthPeak Interactive aren’t the big guns when it comes to software publishers but with Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars, they’ve let Redfly Studio create the action platformer, the same guys who are making the Wii version of the new Ghostbusters video game. In this pleasant little platformer you play as Pax, a sentient mushroom who is the last one left of his tribe. When a meteor crash-landed on Earth, spores turned into mushroom men and these split into groups and decided to fight. Your tribe got wiped out and now you must explore and fight your way across...

EA Grand Slam Tennis

We reported on EA’s answer to Wii Sports Tennis a few months ago and finally we have some screenshots to share with you. As you can see EA have decided to stick with a cartoonish feel which is reminicent of Wii Sports but keeping a dignified amount of realism as regard to the player models and overall experience, combine this with MotionPlus controls for 1:1 accuracy and we could finally see the ultimate home tennis simulator arriving on Wii this Summer. The EA Grand Slam Tennis for Wii release date is June 16th 2009. Buy EA Grand Slam Tennis now...
